Hydropeaking intensity and dam proximity limit aquatic invertebrate diversity in the Colorado River Basin

Abstract River biodiversity is threatened globally by hydropower dams, and there is a need to understand how dam management favors certain species while filtering out others. We examined aquatic invertebrate communities within the tailwaters 0–24 km downstream of seven large hydropower dams in the C...
