TLDR
In this paper, the temporal dynamics and spatial distribution of zooplankton in the tidal freshwater portion of the Hudson River were studied over a 3-yr period, and the hypothesis that advective transport is involved in the transport of these organisms was tested.Abstract:

The role of environmental and spatial processes in structuring lake communities from bacteria to fish.

TL;DR: The results suggest that crustacean zooplankton and fish are more constrained by dispersal and therefore more likely to operate as a metacommunity than are bacteria and phytoplankon within this studied landscape.

Fish, Flows and Flood Plains: Links between Freshwater Fishes and their Environment in the Murray-Darling River System, Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, a low flow recruitment hypothesis was proposed to explain why some species spawn during the warmest months and lowest flows and how they are able to recruit under these conditions.

Zebra mussel invasion in a large, turbid river: phytoplankton response to increased grazing

TL;DR: A mechanistic model is developed that reproduces the spatial and temporal dynamics of phytoplankton prior to the invasion of the zebra mussel and suggests that the fate of light- scattering inorganic particles (turbidity) is a key feature determining the impact of benthic grazers in aquatic systems.

River regulation and fish larvae: variation through space and time
TL;DR: Patterns in abundance and distribution of larval fish in a heavily regulated and a mildly regulated Australian lowland river were compared over four breeding seasons to gain some insight into how river regulation affects fish populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial heterogeneity as a multiscale characteristic of zooplankton community
TL;DR: In this paper, a review on the spatial heterogeneity of marine and freshwater zooplankton with respect to scale is presented and illustrated by studies conducted over large and fine scales in both oceans and lakes.
