“…Previous studies have shown that sensitive species were absent or less abundant in streams draining urban areas (WALSH et al, 2005;JOHNSON et al, 2006;ORMEROD et al, 2010;GRAÇA, 2015;PARR et al, 2015).…”

“…Thirdly, the apparent effects of increased functional diversity in reducing synchrony argues for biodiversity conservation aimed at retaining or restoring composition in stream communities. Communities supporting more diverse functional traits are more likely to display independent or compensatory dynamics among species which respond differently to environmental variation (Feio et al., 2015). One small caveat from our work is that the reduction in community synchrony brought by higher functional diversity was partly driven by the underlying increase in taxonomic richness, which is known to limit synchrony among species.…”

“…(iii) streams or time periods with greater functional diversity would buffer communities against the synchronizing effects of the NAO. This is because communities supporting a range of functional traits are more likely to have internal community dynamics that are resilient to environmental variation (Feio et al, 2015).…”

“…For example, compensatory dynamics stabilize productivity when different populations have offsetting fluctuations, such that increases in the abundance or biomass of one or more species are accompanied by corresponding decreases in others (e.g., Schindler, 1990, Frost et al , 1995, Bai et al , 2004, Hallett et al , 2014). Conversely, when species increase or decrease together (e.g., when species share responses to an external driver), the resulting synchrony increases aggregate community variability and has been used as a proxy for instability (e.g., Houlahan et al , 2007, Keitt, 2008, Feio et al , 2015, Ma et al , 2017).…”
