Abstract
Flow modification of lotic ecosystems is one of the main threats to global freshwater biodiversity. Commonly, and in the river studied here, modification results from hydroelectric dam installation. We evaluated the impacts of damming on zooplankton communities in the Amazonian floodplain of the Madeira River (Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil) following construction in 2012 of the run-of-river dam of Jirau Hydroelectric Power Plant. Using data...
