Plant genotype influences aquatic‐terrestrial ecosystem linkages through timing and composition of insect emergence

Ecosphere, 2016
Terrestrial leaf litter provides aquatic insects with an energy source and habitat structure, and species differences in litter can influence aquatic insect emergence. Emerging insects also provide energy to riparian predators. We hypothesized that plant

Long-term consequences of Bti applications on aquatic insect emergence: Insights from a 4-year mesocosm study

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Aquatic biomass and essential nutrients can subsidize terrestrial food webs. However, stressors in the aquatic ecosystem, such as the non-chemical mosquito control agent Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), may affect such subsidies by changing the ...
