Ecological succession of a Jurassic shallow-water ichthyosaur fall. [PDF]
, 2014 After the discovery of whale fall communities in modern oceans, it has been hypothesized that during the Mesozoic the carcasses of marine reptiles created similar habitats supporting long-lived and specialized animal communities.

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.

Relative impacts of morphological alteration to shorelines and eutrophication on littoral macroinvertebrates in Mediterranean lakes [PDF]
, 2015 Development of effective methods for assessing the ecological status of lakes based on littoral benthic fauna has been hampered by the lack of quantitative data on the relative impacts of key pressures on the benthic community.

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 ...

Benthic macroinvertebrates as indicators of anthropogenic pressure on coastal river water quality
Frontiers in WaterIntroductionCoastal 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.

Extracting Additional Information From Biotic Index Samples [PDF]
, 2017 Macroinvertebrates were collected from a small midwestern stream over a 3-year period as part of a non-point source pollution study. Temporal and spatial variability in standard biotic index values (BIs) were computed and compared with variability ...
