The probability of a species presence (± SE) in restored reaches as a function of (A) their occurrence rates and (B) species densities in the regional species pool.

<p>Differences in the probability that a species is present in the restored reach are shown with regard to (C) taxonomic affiliation and (D) flow preferences. The tick marks on the axes in (A) and (B) indicate the individual data points to which the logistic models (curve) were fitted. As a visual aid to estimate of the fit of the logistic models in (A) and (B), empirical probabilities (±SE) of five evenly spaced sectors of the data were added (dots and error bars). Letters in (C) and (D) indicate homogenous groups according to Tukey HSD post-hoc tests.</p

The probability of a species to be present in restored reaches as a function of the time lag between restoration and sampling.

Best GLM (a, species presence) and LM (b, species density) for the establishment of fish species at a restored site; information on local hydromorphological conditions, the restoration projects and the rivers in which the projects were undertaken were used as predictor variables.

<p>The models were backward-selected to the minimum Akaike Information Criterion (AIC).</p

Abundance data of the organism groups and raw values of abiotic response variables investigated (e.g. habitat diversity). These values were used to calculate Bray-Curtis dissimilarity indices for the restored and respective degraded sites
