Running water habitats are unique, rich and complex. The aim of this book is to provide an accessible, up-to-date introduction to stream and river biology. Beginning with the physical features that define running water (`lotic') habitats, the book goes on to consider the organisms that inhabit them, their adaptations to their environment, and their ecology. It concludes with a discussion of the many applied issues surrounding water use - pollution, species diversity, and conservation of this fascinating and immensely important habitat. Particular consideration is given to the links between stream and river channels and their surrounding landscapes, to short-term and seasonal changes, and to historical and biogeographical factors. A further reading section leads the reader to in-depth coverage of the research literature, and suggestions are made for practical and field work.
