Do productivity and disturbance interact to modulate macroinvertebrate diversity in streams?
Tonkin, Jonathan D.; Death, Russell G.; Collier, Kevin J. (Springer, 2013)Although disturbance and productivity are clearly strong influences on lotic diversity, rarely have their interactive effects been studied in running water systems. We hypothesised that the presence or absence of canopy ... -
Does artificial intelligence modelling have anything to offer traditional management of freshwater food resources?
Death, Russell G.; Collier, Kevin J.; Hudson, Maui; Canning, Adam; Niessen, Miriam; David, Bruno O.; Catlin, Alicia; Hamer, Mark; Pingram, Mochael (Environmental Research Institute, University of Waikato, 2017)Management of freshwater systems and the ecosystem services they provide has become a multi-stakeholder activity. This requires information on resources and how to manage them to be disseminated to a wide range of users. ... -
Ecological response differentials: An alternative benchmark to inform stream and river bioassessment
Collier, Kevin J.; Hamer, Mark P. (Wiley, 2013)Contemporary patterns of land development mean that suitable reference sites for low-gradient stream and non-wadeable river biomonitoring are difficult to locate, requiring alternative approaches for benchmarking human ... -
Ecological values of Hamilton urban streams (North Island, New Zealand): constraints and opportunities for restoration
Collier, Kevin J.; Aldridge, Brenda Michelle Te Aroha; Hicks, Brendan J.; Kelly, Johlene; Macdonald, Amy; Smith, Brian J.; Tonkin, Jonathan D. (2009)Urban streams globally are characterised by degraded habitat conditions and low aquatic biodiversity, but are increasingly becoming the focus of restoration activities. We investigated habitat quality, ecological function, ... -
Editorial: The rapid rise of streams and rivers in conservation assessment
Collier, Kevin J. (2011)The last few years have seen a remarkable rise in the number of publications on stream or river conservation planning or assessment, culminating most recently with a special issue of Freshwater Biology (Figure 1). There ...
