ABSTRACT Within river corridors, hydrological connectivity drives the local abiotic and biotic processes, shapes ecosystem functioning and promotes biodiversity. However, hydrological cycling is changing due to climate change, and drought is intensifying and becoming more frequent in many regions of the world, making it critical to understand the ...

ABSTRACT Benthic macroinvertebrates are indicators of water quality and riparian ecosystem health. Their abundance and distribution in streams are associated with river basin environmental factors, including stream biotic and abiotic fluvial processes. We examined benthic macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance in relation to large wood (LW) and pool‐

Multiple stressors in river networks: local and downstream effects on freshwater macroinvertebrates
River networks are complex ecosystems characterized by a continuous exchange of material and energy through longitudinal gradients. These ecosystems are threatened by various human‐induced stressors, which frequently co‐occur and may interact in complex ways, potentially triggering cascading effects throughout the river network.

Abstract Climate change profoundly alters riverine flow regimes and community composition, affecting key ecosystem functions. We used an experimental mesocosm approach to examine how gradual flow velocity reduction (Experiment 1) and flushing events (Experiment 2) influence periphyton community composition and metabolism, with and without a ...

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of an estuarine amphipod Grandidierella osakaensis was determined. The mitochondrial genome was 14,658 bp in length with 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes [PCGs], 2 ribosomal RNAs [rRNAs], and 22 ...

Abstract The loss of plant diversity in grasslands is implicated as one of the main causes of arthropod decline. The loss of a single plant species can have a cascading effect on specialized arthropod species. It is thus critical to expand our understanding of plant–arthropod interactions.

Fatty acid composition of the Caprellidea (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from the Strait of Gibraltar
The total fatty acid composition of nine species of caprellidean amphipods collected from the Strait of Gibraltar was investigated. All caprellids were characterised by high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly eicosapentaenoic acid, 20:5(n-3 ...
