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.

Tomographic reconstruction of neopterous Carboniferous insect nymphs [PDF]

, 2012
Two new polyneopteran insect nymphs from the Montceau-les-Mines Lagerstätte of France are presented. Both are preserved in three dimensions, and are imaged with the aid of X-ray micro-tomography, allowing their morphology to be recovered in unprecedented

Insect herbivory on native and exotic aquatic plants: phosphorus and nitrogen drive insect growth and nutrient release [PDF]

, 2016
Eutrophication and globalisation facilitate the dominance of exotic plants in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Aquatic omnivores can provide biotic resistance to plant invasions, but little is known about whether obligate aquatic herbivores can do the same.

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.

Patterning and predicting aquatic insect richness in four West-African coastal rivers using artificial neural networks

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2010
Despite their importance in stream management, the aquatic insect assemblages are still little known in West Africa. This is particularly true in South-Eastern Ivory Coast, where aquatic insect assemblages were hardly studied.

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Aquatic versus Terrestrial Insects: Real or Presumed Differences in Population Dynamics?

Insects, 2018
The study of insect populations is dominated by research on terrestrial insects. Are aquatic insect populations different or are they just presumed to be different? We explore the evidence across several topics. (1) Populations of terrestrial herbivorous
