The "Urban Stream Syndrome" is a term that refers to a group of predictable negative impacts to stream ecosystems due to the alteration of the natural hydrologic regime that is associated with urbanization. These negative impacts include increases...
Traditional invertebrate biomonitoring has low taxonomic resolution, low accuracy, and is plagued with human error and biases. Molecular monitoring, using environmental DNA (eDNA), is a practical alternative due to the high accuracy, lack of human...
As urbanization increases, Best Management Practices (BMPs) are used to reduce pollutants otherwise released to streams. Rain gardens are a type of BMPs that are vegetated depressions with highly permeable soil to treat urban runoff. These structu...

Researchers have placed emphasis on quantifying and identifying ecological thresholds to study biological responses to urbanization. As watersheds become urbanized, they exhibit a systemic pattern of degradation that disrupts the natural biogeoche...

Stream restoration can lead to improved habitat quality, increased macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity, and reduced concentrations of nutrients and contaminants. Macroinvertebrates are vital in connecting the food web and breaking down organ...
