Longitudinal patterns in an Arkansas River Valley stream: an Application of the River Continuum Concept [PDF]
, 2017 The River Continuum Concept (RCC) provides the framework for studying how lotic ecosystems vary from headwater streams to large rivers. The RCC was developed in streams in eastern deciduous forests of North America, but watershed characteristics and land

Seasonal feeding selectivity of brown trout Salmo trutta in five groundwater-dominated streams
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017 Availability and selection of macroinvertebrate prey is important to explain temporal and spatial variation in growth among stream salmonids. However, few studies contain information to identify such relationships.

Community structure of benthic macroinvertebrate fauna of river Ichamati, India
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2018 Benthic macroinvertebrate communities are frequently applied as indicators of aquatic ecosystem health as many species are responsive to pollution and abrupt changes in their surroundings. The qualities of benthic invertebrate communities greatly depend

Action Plan Items Related to EII Site Scores - Fiscal Year 2006 [PDF]
, 2006 The Environmental Integrity Index (EII) was used to identify creek reaches with at least a 13% decrease in environmental health in using data collected in 2006 compared to initial conditions sampled in 1996 (phase I watersheds). City of Austin teams with

CO2-driven experimental acidification effects on aquatic macroinvertebrates in a tropical stream
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017 Experimental acidification of a tropical stream was conducted to measure the effects of declining pH on aquatic macroinvertebrates. The mechanisms by which anthropogenic acidification occur in a freshwater stream system are relatively well understood ...

Estimating sample representativeness in a survey of stream caddisfly fauna [PDF]
, 2006 Obtaining an adequate and representative sample is a continuing challenge of community ecology. The present study focuses on what sample area represents adequately the structural composition of the caddisfly fauna of a riffle, at a given sampling ...

Oikos, 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.
