Estimating intraspecific genetic diversity from community DNA metabarcoding data [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background DNA metabarcoding is used to generate species composition data for entire communities. However, sequencing errors in high-throughput sequencing instruments are fairly common, usually requiring reads to be clustered into operational taxonomic ...

Horizontal cooling towers: riverine ecosystem services and the fate of thermoelectric heat in the contemporary Northeast US [PDF]
, 2013 The electricity sector is dependent on rivers to provide ecosystem services that help regulate excess heat, either through provision of water for evaporative cooling or by conveying, diluting and attenuating waste heat inputs. Reliance on these ecosystem

Shifts in leaf litter breakdown along a forestpastureurban gradient in Andean streams [PDF]
, 2016 Tropical montane ecosystems of the Andes are critically threatened by a rapid land-use change which can potentially affect stream variables, aquatic communities, and ecosystem processes such as leaf litter breakdown.

Drivers of multi-decadal nitrate regime shifts in a large European catchment
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Long-term monitoring shows evidence of persistent changes in the magnitude and timing of the seasonal pattern of nitrate concentrations in streams, with possibly grave effects on aquatic ecosystems. Seasonal patterns of stream nutrient concentrations are
