Foundations of Stream and River Ecology

""Very comprehensive and concise. This book summarizes important papers in the field of stream ecology and ties them into nice packages, which was perfect for a newbie like me. Something I found super helpful about this book was that it did a great job in condensing the information from these papers while still showing the historical significance of their findings. . . . Foundations of Stream and River Ecology helped me catch up on literal decades of the field—and as an undergraduate getting his feet wet, it gave me a strong general feeling for what is a rich, emergent field with fascinating dynamics and applications into other fields."" * Integrative and Comparative Biology Blog * “This work will be a must-read for graduate students interested in developing a well-grounded understanding of the underpinnings of stream ecology, especially for students studying for their comprehensive examinations. For established researchers, this is a welcome addition to help us revisit foundational papers.” -- Emma Rosi, aquatic ecologist, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies “For those who are starting out in stream ecology . . . this book is an excellent first step into the stream world. And all of us will benefit from discovering, or rediscovering, the foundations that support the expansion of our collective knowledge in stream and river ecology.” -- Nancy B. Grimm, Arizona State University, from the foreword
