Gill Ventilation Rates of Mayfly Nymphs (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) as a Biomonitoring Technique [PDF]

, 2018
Gill ventilation frequency (GVF) of the mayfly nymph Stenacron interpunctatum (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) was studied to assess the applicability of a relatively simple, real time video methodology and to assess the potential of GVF rates for use in a

Macroplastic accumulation across different surface covers, a case study of two South African rivers

Scientific Reports
Plastic pollution in freshwater ecosystems is an escalating global concern, yet riverine macroplastic pollution and dynamics remain poorly understood in Southern Africa. This study investigated macroplastic accumulation across different surface covers in

Evidence for Conductivity- and Macroinvertebrate-Driven Segregation of Ostracod Assemblages in Endorheic Depression Wetlands in North West Province of South Africa

Diversity, 2023
Our knowledge of the ecology of non-marine Ostracoda inhabiting endorheic wetlands (pans) of the semi-arid regions of South Africa is very scarce. The present study investigates the distribution of ostracod species in grass, open, and salt pans in the ...

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

Influence of Hydrological Situations on Benthic Organisms in a Small River in Saxony (Germany)

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2013
This research was focused on the relationship between river discharge and organism drift. It was carried out for three years in a small heavily modified river in Saxony (Germany). The amount and species composition of drifting invertebrates were observed,

Duckling body mass increases with abundant aquatic invertebrates: Experimental approach

Global Ecology and Conservation
In Fennoscandia, waterbirds have declined over several decade, and this decline could be linked to problems in the breeding success and loss of foraging habitat provided by wetlands.
