  abstract = {{D}endritic habitats, such as river ecosystems, promote the persistence of species by favouring spatial asynchronous dynamics among branches. {Y}et, our understanding of how network topology influences metapopulation synchrony in these ecosystems remains limited. {H}ere, we introduce the concept of fluvial synchrogram to formulate and test expectations regarding the geography of metapopulation synchrony across watersheds. {B}y combining theoretical simulations and an extensive fish population time-series dataset across {E}urope, we provide evidence that fish metapopulations can be buffered against synchronous dynamics as a direct consequence of network connectivity and branching complexity. {S}ynchrony was higher between populations connected by direct water flow and decayed faster with distance over the {E}uclidean than the watercourse dimension. {L}ikewise, synchrony decayed faster with distance in headwater than mainstem populations of the same basin. {A}s network topology and flow directionality generate fundamental spatial patterns of synchrony in fish metapopulations, empirical synchrograms can aid knowledge advancement and inform conservation strategies in complex habitats.},
