Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Effects of spatial scale and habitat on the diversity of diapausing wetland invertebrates

Aquatic Biology, 2016
The community structure of aquatic invertebrates producing dormant propagules has been associated with both local and regional-scale factors in temporary wetlands.

A review of the processes and effects of droughts and summer floods in rivers and threats due to climate change on current adaptive strategies [PDF]

, 2012
Europe is expected to experience a greater frequency of floods and droughts as precipitation and evapotranspiration patterns are modified by climate change in future.

Evolution of a stream ecosystem in recently deglaciated terrain

, 2011
Climate change and associated glacial recession create new stream habitat that leads to the assembly of new riverine communities through primary succession.

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Road Mortality of Dragonflies (Odonata) in a Great Lakes Coastal Wetland [PDF]

, 2018
Although road mortality of vertebrates has been well studied, road mortality of invertebrates has rarely been studied or considered in management scenarios. Mackinac Bay is an extensive coastal wetland in northern Michigan.

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Crop cover and nutrient levels mediate the effects of land management type on aquatic invertebrate richness in prairie potholes.

PLoS ONE
Aquatic invertebrates provide important ecosystem services, including decomposition and nutrient cycling, and provide nutrition for birds, fish, amphibians, and bats.

Metallothionein as an indicator of water quality: assessment of the bioavailability of cadmium, copper, mercury and zinc in aquatic animals at the cellular level [PDF]

, 1994
The study of metallothioneins (MTs) has greatly improved our understanding of body burdens, metal storage and detoxification in aquatic organisms subjected to contamination by the toxic heavy metals, Cd, Cu, Hg and Zn.

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.
