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 ...

Stable isotope analyses of web-spinning spider assemblages along a headwater stream in Puerto Rico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Web-spinning spiders that inhabit stream channels are considered specialists of aquatic ecosystems and are major consumers of emerging aquatic insects, while other spider taxa are more commonly found in riparian forests and as a result may consume more ...
