Hydropower regulation reshapes littoral invertebrate communities: functional traits reveal impacts beyond richness and abundance

Abstract Freshwater lake ecosystems are increasingly affected by altered water level fluctuations (WLF) from hydropower regulation, yet impacts on lake biodiversity remain understudied. We investigated how regulation influences Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) comm...
