Measurement of changes in marine benthic ecosystem function following physical disturbance by dredging

open access: yes, 2012
Measuring the impact of physical disturbance on macrofaunal communities and sediment composition is important given the increased demand for the exploitation and disturbance of marine ecosystems.

Watershed land cover predicts the abundance of macroplastic and other anthropogenic litter in streams

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement

Oases of endemism: Regional aquifer desert springs serve as biodiversity hotspots preserving vulnerable endemic taxa in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert regions

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Spring ecosystems in arid regions often serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots by providing some of the only reliable sources of surface water. However, anthropogenic activities and climate change have severely degraded spring ecosystems worldwide, emphasizing the need for large‐scale multidisciplinary studies informing conservation efforts ...

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.

When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1957-1973, June 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Changes in the benthic macroinvertebrates in Xiangxi Bay following dam closure to form the Three Gorges Reservoir

open access: yes, 2006
Benthic macroinvertebrates were assessed monthly in Xiangxi Bay of the Three Gorges Reservoir for two years after the initial closure of the dam. Mean total density of macroinvertebrates varied from 275 ind./m(2) during the first year to 5,094 ind./m(2 ...
