1. The influence of 11 environmental variables on benthic macroinvertebrate communities was examined in seven glacier‐fed European streams ranging from Svalbard in the north to the Pyrenees in the south. Between 4 and 11 near‐pristine reaches were studied on each stream in 1996–97. 2. Taxonomic rich...
