Pesticide‐Free Rice Paddies Promote Diverse and Distinct Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Cool‐Temperate Agroecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Freshwater wetlands are disappearing across agricultural landscapes, prompting interest in pesticide‐free rice paddies as multifunctional habitats. Across 2 years, rice paddies supported higher local macroinvertebrate density and richness than nearby natural wetlands, although wetlands maintained greater regional diversity and more heterogeneous ...

Reproduction on the Rocks: Life History of a Freshwater Macrobioeroding Bivalve

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Macrobioerosion, the excavation and removal of consolidated mineral substrates by macrofauna, is well established in marine systems, where macrobioeroders drive carbonate cycling, sediment production and habitat formation. In freshwater ecosystems, however, it has been documented in only a small number of invertebrate taxa and remains a poorly

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

Seasonal Effect of a Small Hydropower Plant on Benthic Biofilm Microbial Community Structure and Predicted Functional Potential

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Biofilm microbial composition varies significantly; diversity is higher in spring and autumn. The dewatered reach shows the broadest niche and dominant stochastic assembly. Seasonal assembly shift: deterministic in summer, stochastic in winter. Nutrient cycling genes vary more among sites than seasons under SHP influence.

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...

Growth, transport, and recruitment of phytoplankton in a mid‐order river

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Phytoplankton dynamics in rivers have long challenged growth models, which predict limited biomass accumulation due to insufficient water residence times—yet phytoplankton populations often persist despite this constraint. This paradox is especially pronounced in mid‐order rivers, where water residence times appear insufficient to support ...

DRIFteRS: A dataset of drift invertebrate densities in streams and rivers across western North America, 1997–2024

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Prey availability is among the most influential and highly variable determinants of fish growth and freshwater habitat carrying capacity, yet it remains understudied compared to physical habitat variables (Ouellet et al., 2025; Rosenfeld et al., 2014; Weber et al., 2017).

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.

Assessment of Hyporheic Macroinvertebrate Biodiversity Within Gravel Bars Before and After Flooding: Comparison of Morphology, Bulk‐Sample, and eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
eDNA metabarcoding is generally consistent with morphology and bulk‐sample metabarcoding in revealing changes in hyporheic macroinvertebrate biodiversity influenced by flood and lateral locations of hyporheic zones.
