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.

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.

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

First record of Polypedilum mehinaku (Chironomidae) galls induced in the aquatic angiosperm Mourera fluviatilis (Podostemaceae) for Bahia, Brazil [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Galls induced by insects on aquatic angiosperms are rare and poorly understood. To expand our knowledge of these galls on aquatic host plants and update the distribution of their gall-inducing insect, we present the first record of Polypedilum mehinaku ...

The diversity of aquatic insects surrounding the gold mining areas of central sulawesi and their relation with mercury levels and water quality

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2022
Human activities may influence the diversity of aquatic insects in rivers. This study aims to assess the diversity of aquatic insects and their relation with mercury levels and water quality along rivers located near the gold mine in Poboya, Central ...

Stream network geometry and the spatial influence of aquatic insect subsidies across the contiguous United States

Ecosphere, 2019
Emergent aquatic insects transport aquatic‐derived resources into terrestrial ecosystems but are rarely studied at landscape or regional scales. Here, we investigate how stream network geometry constrains the spatial influence of aquatic insect subsidies

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Diversity of Water Insects in Conventional and Organic Rice Cultivations in Padang City

Jurnal Proteksi Tanaman, 2017
Study on diversity of aquatic insects in rice is important to determine the condition of the rice fields. The purpose of this research was to study the community of aquatic insects in two difference cultivations (organic and conventional) and sub ...
