Short‐term performance responses of an intertidal fish to sedimentation and warming

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is altering coastal ecosystems by causing environmental fluctuations, such as increases in temperature and turbidity, which pose major implications for fish physiology and behaviour. Increases in temperature affect fish food intake, swimming capacity and oxygen delivery, while increases in turbidity can impair or enhance prey ...

Determination of diversity and species composition of the benthic macroinvertebrates in Sang stream (Izmir, Turkey)

, 2020
Though benthic invertebrates are an important indicator for determining biological quality in freshwater ecosystems, there are still significant deficiencies in their faunistic composition.

A comparison of results from previous and present investigations of benthic macroinvertebrates in the small and shallow Lake Shoji, Fuji Five Lakes, Japan

Fauna Norvegica, 2012
In order to clarify the current status of the benthic community of Lake Shoji, and to examine the difference with the last quantitative data of the lake by Miyadi (1932) and Kitagawa (1973), the distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates in this lake was

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Ecosystem recovery in restored saltmarshes detected through invertebrate communities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Saltmarsh ecosystems support rich biodiversity and provide key ecosystem services. Invertebrate communities underpin essential processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. However, saltmarshes have been widely degraded by land use change.

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Pollution effects on body mass distributions of freshwater benthic communities

, 2010
Theoretical studies of the resilience of ecological systems to environmental change predict that the size distributions of species in ecosystems should have discontinuities that reflect similar discontinuities in ecosystem processes.

Limited effects of structural restoration on ecosystem functioning in an urban tropical stream

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Hydromorphological restoration through structural interventions is commonly used to mitigate urbanization impacts on lotic freshwater systems, but their effects on ecosystem functioning in urban tropical streams remain unexplored.

Benthic macroinvertebrates as indicators of anthropogenic pressure on coastal river water quality

Frontiers in Water
IntroductionCoastal river systems are among the aquatic ecosystems most vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure due to the convergence of agricultural, urban, and extractive activities that progressively degrade ecological integrity.
