Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...

Aquatic Invertebrates Resource Brief [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aquatic invertebrates have been collected along the Niobrara River at Agate Fossil Beds NM since 1989 using Hester-Dendy samplers. These samplers consist of 9 plates that are colonized by invertebrates while they are suspended in the water for 30 days ...

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

The first RNAi‐based biopesticide approved in the United States: regulatory implications for the European Union – the case of Ledprona (Calantha™)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The approval of the RNA interference‐based biopesticide Ledprona (Calantha™) in the USA marks a milestone for RNA‐based crop protection. We discuss the regulatory implications for the European Union, highlighting opportunities, challenges, and the need for adapted risk assessment frameworks for RNA‐based plant protection products.

Data supporting "Adverse impacts of hypoxia on aquatic invertebrates: A meta-analysis"

open access: yes, 2018
Data were gathered from published, peer-reviewed studies, either copying if in tabular form or digitizing if they were plotted, using DataThief shareware which extracts data points from plots.

Evaluating larvicide performance against Culicoides sonorensis in semi‐field conditions

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the efficacy of larvicide products against Culicoides sonorensis populations under controlled semi‐field conditions. Larvicide efficacy against C. sonorensis declined over time, in different environmental conditions. In particular, precipitation and habitat disturbance influenced residual performance. Abstract BACKGROUND Culicoides

Salinity Gradients Shape Aquatic Biodiversity Patterns and Network Structures in Inland Wetlands of Northeast China

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability
Inland wetlands of arid and semiarid regions are unique ecosystems shaped by pronounced salinity gradients that strongly regulate biodiversity patterns. However, comparative studies of multiple aquatic taxa along the salinity gradient remain limited.
