Refuge trifecta: intertidal gastropods use pits to escape heat, wave action and predation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Refuges play a critical role in ecology and evolution. In hard intertidal shores, small pits attract benthic invertebrates such as gastropods, however, there exists little mechanistic understanding of the processes driving the active usage of these microhabitat features. We conducted a series of laboratory experiments to assess whether the marine snail

Ballasted Flocs Capture Pelagic Primary Production and Alter the Local Sediment Characteristics in the Coastal German Bight (North Sea)

Geosciences, 2019
Suspended, organic matter, especially in the form of adhesive extracellular polymers (EPS), tends to form flocs, which may also incorporate suspended lithogenic particles in coastal environments. With an increased settling velocity, these ballasted flocs

The ecological memory of landscape complexity shapes diversity of freshwater communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Land use change affects the biodiversity of terrestrial landscapes as well as of the freshwater systems they surround, and thereby numerous ecosystem services that are essential for human well‐being. Previous research suggests that freshwater systems show delayed responses to abrupt disturbances such as deforestation, however less is known about ...

Impacts of Hydroelectric Dams on Amazonian Fisheries: Assessing Functional Attributes in the Madeira River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Madeira River is one of the main tributaries of the Amazon Basin, supporting over 1300 known fish species. Fisheries in this region play a critical role for riverine populations, serving as a primary source of income and sustenance. In 2011, the construction of the Jirau and Santo Antônio hydroelectric dams (HEDs) was completed along the ...

Cold‐Water Thermal Refuge Enhancement and Creation for Salmonids: Successes, Failures, and Lessons Learned

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As rivers continue to warm due to climate change, there is an urgent need for coordinated approaches to enhance the thermal resiliency of riverscapes. Cold‐water refuges (CWRs) serve as critical habitats for temperature‐sensitive aquatic species, yet efforts to enhance or create these refuges often lack a unified framework, risking a ...

Taxonomic and Functional Structure of Benthic and Terrestrial Invertebrates During Wet and Dry Phases of an Intermittent River Within Central Italy

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temporary rivers and streams are characterized by flow cessation and support high biodiversity of both aquatic and terrestrial species. In this study, we analyzed biological and ecological traits of benthic invertebrates to assess the ecological resilience and resistance of an intermittent river in Central Italy.

Small Water Impoundments Have Local and Longitudinal Impacts on Carbon Cycling Along a River Network

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damming may be one of the most significant anthropogenic modifications fragmenting river networks. Damming alters the transport and processing of coarse particulate organic matter (OM), hence influencing carbon (C) cycling, including the production and emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
