Biodiversity is declining, typically because of multiple anthropogenic stressors. Cumulative effects of multiple stressors are classified as additive, when cumulative effects are as expected from the stressor’s singular effects, synergistic when greater than additive or antagonistic when less than additive. Less attention has been given to the consistency of cumulative effects. We analysed stream insects, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) data from two habitats spanning a 3,600 km latitudinal (S11◦-S43◦) gradient in eastern Australia. We found that the cumulative effect of salinity and suspended sediments on EPT family richness was inconsistent with additive, synergistic or antagonistic effects, and the reduction EPT family richness from increasing both stressors varied (48-70%) depending on habitat (riffle vs. edge), water temperature and terrain slope. Studies of cumulative effects of multiple stressors at one location risk not describing cumulative effects elsewhere and ecologists should consider the spatial consistency of multiple stressors.
