TL;DR: The utility of hydrologic indices for describing various aspects of streamflow regimes has resulted in their increased application in riverine research as discussed by the authors, and researchers are now confronted with the task of having to choose among a large number of competing hydrologyic indices to reduce computational effort and variable redundancy prior to statistical analyses, while still adequately representing the major facets of the flow regime.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined impacts of future climate scenarios on flow regimes and how predicted changes might affect river ecosystems, and compared observed flow regimes to those predicted under future climate change scenarios to describe the extent and type of changes predicted to occur.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis revealed strong support for a tri-lateral continuum model with three end-point strategies defining the equilibrium (low fecundity, high juvenile survivorship), opportunistic, and periodic life histories of freshwater fishes in North America.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of variable levels of flow diversion on fine-sediment deposition, hydraulic conditions and geomorphic alteration were investigated on 13 mountain streams in north-central Colorado and southern Wyoming USA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a classification tree to predict thermal regime membership of the six classes and found that the annual mean and range in the long-term air temperature average along with spring flows were important variables defining the thermal regime types at the continental scale.
