Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau for the evolution of Tibetan biotas
Adrien Favre,Martin Päckert,Steffen U. Pauls,Sonja C. Jähnig,Dieter Uhl,Ingo Michalak,Alexandra N. Muellner-Riehl +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the biological consequences of the uplift of the QTP would be best understood using a meta‐analysis approach, encompassing studies on a variety of organisms from diverse habitats (forests, meadows, rivers), and thermal belts (montane, subalpine, alpine, nival).
Journal ArticleDOI
River restoration success: a question of perception
Sonja C. Jähnig,Armin W. Lorenz,Daniel Hering,C. Antons,Andrea Sundermann,Eckhard Jedicke,Peter Haase +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that different perceptions of restoration success exist by analyzing data from 26 river restoration measures in Germany and that goals should be thoughtfully formulated prior to restoration implementation and that it is necessary to monitor river restoration success from different perspectives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate‐change winners and losers: stream macroinvertebrates of a submontane region in Central Europe
TL;DR: Modelled impacts of climate change on the distribution ranges of 38 species of benthic stream macroinvertebrates from nine macro invertebrate orders covering all river zones from the headwaters to large river reaches predict that novel climate conditions will reorganise species composition and community structure along the river continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling distribution in European stream macroinvertebrates under future climates
Sami Domisch,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Miguel B. Araújo,Núria Bonada,Steffen U. Pauls,Sonja C. Jähnig,Peter Haase +7 more
TL;DR: The extent of projected distributional changes reveals further the vulnerability of freshwater organisms to climate change and implies a need to understand the consequences for ecological function and biodiversity conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of hydromorphological restoration on river ecological status: a comparison of fish, benthic invertebrates, and macrophytes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of 24 hydromorphological river restoration projects in Germany were investigated, for the first time, the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) was applied to assess the results of these restoration projects.
