Abstract

We analysed the aquatic macroinvertebrate communities at two sites with contrasting temporary flow regimes in the River Thames headwaters: Ewen, which typically dries for six months each year, and Somerford Keynes, which stops flowing in late summer and dries only for a few weeks. The dataset spanned 2018, a typical hydrological year, and 2019, in which a wetter summer maintained flow. We characterized spatial and temporal variability in the communities and species, to inform effective biomonitoring in temporary streams.
