Resistance and resilience of invertebrate communities to seasonal and supraseasonal drought in arid‐land headwater streams
Abstract
Climate change is expected to intensify drought in many regions, but ecological impacts on stream communities are poorly understood. Many arid‐land streams are characterised by predictable seasonal cycles of wetting and drying, to which species are adapted, but unpredictable supraseasonal droughts may constitute extreme events that challenge resident biota.
