The River Continuum Concept
TLDR
It is hypothesized that producer and consumer communities characteristic of a given river reach become established in harmony with the dynamic physical conditions of the channel.Abstract:
From headwaters to mouth, the physical variables within a river system present a continuous gradient of physical conditions. This gradient should elicit a series of responses within the constituent...read more

Construction of Escherichia coli K-12 in-frame, single-gene knockout mutants: the Keio collection.
Tomoya Baba,Takeshi Ara,Miki Hasegawa,Yuki Takai,Yoshiko Okumura,Miki Baba,Kirill A. Datsenko,Masaru Tomita,Barry L. Wanner,Hirotada Mori,Hirotada Mori +10 more
TL;DR: These mutants—the ‘Keio collection’—provide a new resource not only for systematic analyses of unknown gene functions and gene regulatory networks but also for genome‐wide testing of mutational effects in a common strain background, E. coli K‐12 BW25113.

Landscapes and Riverscapes: The Influence of Land Use on Stream Ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined responses to land use under different management strategies and that employs response variables that have greater diagnostic value than many of the aggregated measures in current use.
Book
Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the Ecosystem Concept is used to describe the Earth's Climate System and Geology and Soils, and the ecosystem concept is used for managing and sustaining ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basic principles and ecological consequences of altered flow regimes for aquatic biodiversity.
Stuart E. Bunn,Angela Arthington +1 more
TL;DR: This literature review has focused this literature review around four key principles to highlight the important mechanisms that link hydrology and aquatic biodiversity and to illustrate the consequent impacts of altered flow regimes.
Book
Organic geochemistry of natural waters
TL;DR: The first part of the book as mentioned in this paper is a general overview of the amount and general nature of dissolved organic carbon in natural waters, and the second part is a summary of the data that has accumulated from many disciplines over the last decade.

The hydraulic geometry of stream channels and some physiographic implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydraulic characteristics of stream channels are measured quantitatively and vary with discharge as simple power functions at a given river cross section, and similar variations in relation to discharge exist among the cross sections along the length of a river under the condition that discharge at all points is equal in frequency of occurrence.

Habitat, the template for ecological strategies?
TL;DR: In this Address, the author will attempt some quantification, but will not be able to emulate those former Presidents who have been able to provide a definitative synthesis of a field or of their own studies, and his offering can be but a small beginning, an indication of the type of characteristics the authors should quantify.
Book
Fluvial Processes in Geomorphology
TL;DR: Fluvial processes in geomorphology, Fluvial Processes in Geomorphology as discussed by the authors, fluvial processes and geomorphological processes in the field of geology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and Function of Stream Ecosystems
TL;DR: There is a need to identify functional groups of organisms, at least partially independent of traditional taxonomic determinations, in order to address important process-oriented ecological questions.
