Journal ArticleDOI
How Big of an Effect Do Small Dams Have? Using Geomorphological Footprints to Quantify Spatial Impact of Low-Head Dams and Identify Patterns of Across-Dam Variation
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial extent of low-head dam impacts in the Upper Neosho River was quantified using geomorphology and ecology data, and the authors identified select aspects of the context of this variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding controls on flow permanence in intermittent rivers to aid ecological research: integrating meteorology, geology and land cover
Katie H. Costigan,Katie H. Costigan,Kristin L. Jaeger,Charles W. Goss,Ken M. Fritz,P. Charles Goebel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a framework of the meteorologic, geologic and land-cover controls on intermittent streamflow across different spatio-temporal scales and identifying key research priorities to improve our understanding of intermittent systems is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fragmentation and drying ratchet down Great Plains stream fish diversity
TL;DR: In this article, the spatio-temporal distribution of fish reproductive guilds in the fragmented Arkansas and Ninnescah rivers of south-central Kansas using retrospective analyses involving 63 years of fish community data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damming the prairie: Human alteration of Great Plains river regimes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the pre and post-impact hydrologic regimes of nine large rivers of the Great Plains of the United States to quantify the magnitude, duration, and direction of hydrological alteration attributable to impoundment.
Book ChapterDOI
Flow regimes in Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams
Katie H. Costigan,Mark J. Kennard,Catherine Leigh,Eric Sauquet,Thibault Datry,Andrew J. Boulton +5 more
TL;DR: The defining feature of all intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (hereafter, IRES) is that they cease flow at some time as discussed by the authors and the presence of water is typically more variable than in nearby equivalent-sized perennial rivers and streams.
