EcoSummit preview: Thinking like a river? Building a bridge between fields

From Mazeika Sullivan on his EcoSummit presentation:

“Geomorphicecological linkages at the riverscape scale remain largely undocumented, particularly relative to high-quality, spatially explicit food webs.

“Drawing on data from the US Intermountain West, Midwest, and New England, this (presentation) aims to characterize riverine food webs and aquatic-terrestrial fluxes of carbon, energy, and organisms within a geomorphic context. […]

“We conclude by demonstrating that ecogeographic perspectives are essential to improved understanding of riverscape structure and function and may provide important information for both conservation and management of riverine resources.”
