Neotropical IchthyologyMost Rivulidae fishes are popularly known as annual fishes which live in ephemeral environments such as pools, that obligatorily dry out seasonally causing the death of adult individuals.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 2844-2857, October 2025.Abstract Permanent ponds are key landscape units that supply various ecosystem services. Notably, the export of aquatic subsidies to land via emerging insects may significantly influence terrestrial food webs. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which enhance consumer fitness, are among the essential exported components.

Where Do You Fly From? Assessing Aerial Dispersal in Temporary Rivers Using Stable Isotopes
Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Dispersal is a crucial ecological process that facilitates gene flow and species exchange within ecosystems. In temporary rivers (TRs), dispersal is a key driver of community assembly because it determines the ability of the organisms to adapt to seasonal drying and maintain stable populations.

HOMOLOGIES IN ELEMENTS OF THE LARVAL LABRUM IN CHAOBORIDAE AND CULICIDAE (DIPTERA) [PDF]
Australian Journal of Entomology, 1979 AbstractA scheme of homology is proposed under which the so‐called “labrum” of Chaoborus larvae becomes an apical lobe of the labrum proper and homologous with the midpalatal lobe of Culicidae. Some phylogenetic implications are noted.

Impact of CO2‐Induced Aquatic Acidification on Environmental DNA and RNA Shedding and Persistence
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.We conducted mesocosm experiments to determine the shedding and decay rate constants of eDNA and eRNA in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) at various partial CO2 pressures in seawater. To our knowledge, this is the first study manipulating seawater pH using CO2.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are an abundant, yet declining, taxonomically heterogeneous group with special importance in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimations of insect biomass during their aquatic life stages are essential to advance our fundamental knowledge about insects, their roles in ecosystems, and their vulnerability to ...

Estimating Rapid Diversity Changes During Acute Herbicide Contamination Using Environmental DNA
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to examine rapid changes in aquatic invertebrate communities following exposure to glyphosate‐based herbicide (GBH) in mesocosms under contrasted nutrient levels. We show a shift in community composition induced by GBH, and different impacts on zooplankton and insect family richness.
