Final Report Summary - RINEC (River networks as ecological corridors for biodiversity, populations and waterborne disease (RINEC))
The output of the 5-year project is subsumed by about 85 peer-reviewed papers appeared (at a rate of approximately 17/year) in international journals (the standard editorial outlets are the leading hydrological journals like Water Resources Research, Advances in Water resources, Ecohydrology, Geophysical Research Letters), some of which are high-impact ones (like PNAS, Ecology Letters, Annals of Internal Medicine, the American Naturalist, Journal of the Royal Society Interface).
The main scientific results relate to the interrelations between hydrology, geomorphology and ecology and on the hydrologic variables that drive and control biodiversity patterns.
