Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

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.

Urban‐driven homogenization of aquatic subsidy size structure cascades to riparian predator communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

The dynamics of wild and alternative meat consumption across Gabon, Central Africa

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐term overharvesting of wild animals for their meat threatens wildlife and the people dependent on wild animal meat for their diets and incomes. Interventions to reduce wild meat consumption must be built upon a complete understanding of the roles of wild meat and its alternatives within food systems.

Diet composition of red fox during rearing in a moor: a case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The diet of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) cubs living in a moor in Hungary was studied by scat analysis (n = 77) during the rearing period. The main food source of foxes consisted of small mammals (preferred Microtus voles) which was supplemented with brown ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Specific Features of Mixed Culture of Invertebrates Maintained under Laboratory Conditions [PDF]

open access: yesЖурнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2009
Competition among invertebrates was studied in mixed culture (the ciliates Paramecium caudatum and Paramecium bursaria and the rotifer Brachionis plicatilis) under laboratory conditions.

Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that
