Effects of hydration percentage on fermentation

  Could anyone educate me on the effects of dough hydration percentage on fermentation?  Does hydration percentage effect taste or just extensibility and  structure ?  What are the different effects of fermentation temps on different hydration doughs?  How will time and temperature effect different hydration percentages?
