Diel variation of aquatic insect drift in streams of Southern Brazil

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2021
Some organisms, such as aquatic insects, are transported from the upstream to downstream region of streams through a process called drift. This process occurs in passive and active ways and can be variable throughout the day, mainly between the ...

Aquatic Insects Are Dramatically Underrepresented in Genomic Research

Insects, 2020
Aquatic insects comprise 10% of all insect diversity, can be found on every continent except Antarctica, and are key components of freshwater ecosystems. However, aquatic insect genome biology lags dramatically behind that of terrestrial insects.

Aquatic insects differentially affect lake sturgeon larval phenotypes and egg surface microbial communities.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Documentation of how interactions among members of different stream communities [e.g., microbial communities and aquatic insect taxa exhibiting different feeding strategies (FS)] collectively influence the growth, survival, and recruitment of stream ...

The Relationship Between Grazing, Er osion and Adult Aquatic Insects in Streams in Mongolia. [PDF]

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2010
Overgrazing along stream channels in Mongolia may impact streams by increasing stream channel erosion and in-stream sediments, water temperature, pH, and conductivity. Grazing and erosion impacts may impair stream insects.

Species-specific biomagnification and habitat-dependent trophic transfer of halogenated organic pollutants in insect-dominated food webs from an e-waste recycling site

Environment International, 2020
Aquatic, amphibious, and terrestrial organisms in or around a pond that was contaminated by e-waste were collected and persistent halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) for these species were analyzed.

Ultrastructural and molecular approach as a tool for taxonomic identification of aquatic macroinvertebrates: A review

Heliyon, 2022
Aquatic insects require water at one or other phase for the completion of their life cycle. The insect larvae serve as food for larger invertebrates and vertebrates in aquatic food chain.

Assessing the role of canopy cover on the colonization of phytotelmata by aquatic invertebrates: an experiment with the tank-bromeliad Aechmea lingulata

Journal of Limnology, 2016
The presence of canopy cover may influence the amount of organic detritus and stored water in bromeliad tanks and, consequently, the colonization of these ecosystems by aquatic invertebrates.

Ecology and Biology of Aquatic Insects [PDF]

Insects, 2021
The advancement of our knowledge on the ecology and biology of aquatic insects is essential to improving our understanding of their roles in water quality, disease ecology, as indicators of climate change, biodiversity, as well as community structure and ecosystem functioning [...]

Conservation Across Aquatic-Terrestrial Boundaries: Linking Continental-Scale Water Quality to Emergent Aquatic Insects and Declining Aerial Insectivorous Birds

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Larval aquatic insects are used to assess water quality, but less attention is paid to their adult, terrestrial life stage, which is an important food resource for declining aerial insectivorous birds.
