“…As a result, intermittent streams usually host less species than permanent streams (Wrigth et al 1984, del Rosario & Resh 2000, Bonada 2003, although some contrasting results have been reported by comparing richness at permanent and temporary sites. For instance, similar richness were observed between the two stream types (Legier & Talin 1973, Boulton & Suter 1986, Miller & Golladay 1996, and higher richness occurred in pools of temporary streams compared to a permanent stream (Dieterich & Anderson 2000). These contrasting results could be due to different concepts of «temporary sites» in different works, as some authors consider them as sites that dry up completely in summer, whereas others refer to rivers that have isolated pools during the dry period (Bonada 2003).…”

“…Intermittent streams typically are identified with arid or semi-arid zones and Mediterranean climates, but they can be abundant in humid temperate zones also (Williams & Hynes 1976;Dieterich & Anderson 2000;Hansen 2001;Williams 2006). In New Zealand, previous studies (Pearson 1995;Parkyn et al 2006a,b) and anecdotal evidence suggest that intermittent streams may be common in a number of regions throughout the country.…”

“…Studies in United Kingdom (Smith et al 2003), Switzerland (Ruegg & Robinson 2004), Germany (Meyer et al 2003), Portugal (Aguiar et al 2002), and Algeria (Arab et al 2004), have shown that intermittent streams are typically species-poor compared with nearby perennial streams, whereas studies in Australia (Boulton & Suter 1986) and United States (Dieterich & Anderson 2000) have found that the species diversity in intermittent streams can be as high as in perennial streams. The degree of faunal similarity between intermittent and perennial streams also appears to differ between and within countries.…”

Macroinvertebrate communities in three stony-bottomed intermittent headwater streams in central Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, were sampled once per month (on average) for 11 months from autumn 2005 to summer 2006, and compared with communities in three perennial streams and three intermittent streams with perennial headwaters. Among the intermittent headwater sites, 95 taxa were found, with Oligochaeta, Copepoda, Chironomidae, and Ostracoda occurring in greatest abundance. Eight mayfly, 6 stonefly and 16 caddisfly species were found. Macroinvertebrate abundance at intermittent headwater sites was equal to nearby perennial sites, but taxon richness per sample was lower. Community composition changed progressively during the autumn-to-spring flow period (MarchNovember 2005) at one intermittent headwater site, but at the other two sites a directional change was not evident, probably because stream flow stopped briefly several times during the flow period. Most of the taxa collected in riffles during the flow period were also in disconnected pools after flow stopped in summer (January 2006), but some taxa were absent and the disconnected pools contained several additional species. The disconnected pools in January had higher macroinvertebrate density and richness than connected pools during the flow period. At intermittent sites with perennial headwaters, taxon richness and EFT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera) richness were intermediate between intermittent headwater sites and perennial streams. Two weeks after flow began, the intermittent sites with perennial headwaters showed much higher EPT abundance and richness than the intermittent headwater sites, but after 8 weeks the proportional difference was less.

“…The biological communities of headwater streams are shaped by their habitat (Southwood, 1988). For example, insect richness and abundance present in intermittent headwater streams surpass those found in similar perennial streams (Feminella, 1996;Dieterich & Anderson, 2000). However, the specialized species of both plants and animals face greater probabilities of localized extinction due to periodic disconnection from flowing water (Fagan, 2002).…”

Understanding hydrology of channelized and natural headwater streams is paramount for maintaining ecosystem function and natural flow regimes. Two channelized and two natural headwater streams located in Upper Big Walnut Creek (UBWC) watershed in Ohio, USA, were instrumented to facilitate measurement, characterization and comparison of hydrology to the accepted paradigm for headwater hydrology. Data were collected at 10-min intervals from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2006. Differences in flow magnitudes (average, low and high) were generally greater (P < 0.05) in the channelized streams. Frequency of zero discharge and out-of-bank discharge was significantly greater in the natural streams. Zero discharge occurred in summer and out-of-bank flows occurred in winter. Rate of change variables indicated that channelized streams respond more quickly to rainfall, have significantly greater peak flows, and have slower recession times. In contrast, natural streams tend to be more "flashy". The findings were generally consistent with the accepted paradigm for headwater hydrology and attributed to stream type, presence of subsurface drainage, potential connection to groundwater, and differences in riparian vegetation. The design and installation of management practices that influence hydrology should consider the potential impacts of altering stream hydrology. Management practices such as water-table management have the potential and show promise in altering the hydrology of channelized streams to resemble the hydrology of natural streams.
