Choreography of silk spinning by webspinners (Insecta: Embioptera) reflects lifestyle and hints at phylogeny [PDF]
, 2016 Silk spinning defines the morphologically constrained embiopterans. All individuals spin for protection, including immatures, adult males and the wingless females. Enlarged front tarsi are packed with silk glands and clothed with ejectors.

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.Rotifers perform key functions in aquatic food webs and respond to environmental changes, thus providing sensitive indicators of water quality. However, rotifers are small, highly diverse, and difficult to identify for those lacking expertise. Monogononta are the largest taxonomic class of rotifers with over 1500 species described globally, and around ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The grain‐scale arrangement of gravel is important in controlling the stability of river beds, sediment supply and geomorphic adjustment of river channels. However, the influence of gravel bed texture on grain mobility is difficult to quantify because differences in flow history and sediment composition influence the development of bed ...

Comparison of species richness of light trap-collected caddisfly assemblages (Insecta: Trichoptera) using rarefaction [PDF]
, 2002 ConselVation value of light trap-collected caddisfly assemblages(Insecta: Trichoptera) was evaluated on the basis of their species richness. The assemblage coming from an artificial stream showed a higher conservation value based on species richness than

A Modification of the Biotic Index of Organic Stream Pollution to Remedy Problems and Permit Its Use Throughout the Year [PDF]
, 2018 The biotic index of the arthropod fauna of streams is modified by limiting to ten the number of individuals in each taxon used in its calculation. This reduces detrimental effects on the index of certain fairly tolerant taxa in clean streams, effects of ...
