Amphibian loss alters periphyton structure and invertebrate growth in montane streams
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 11, Page 2329-2337, November 2022., 2022 This paper demonstrates that amphibian loss increases periphyton biomass, causes shifts in algal assemblages and reduces invertebrate growth. It highlights the importance of protecting amphibians in order to maintain normal stream ecosystem functioning, especially in nonforested streams where periphyton in the main energy resource.

Complex and nonlinear climate‐driven changes in freshwater insect communities over 42 years
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1241-1251, October 2020., 2020 Abstract The ongoing biodiversity crisis becomes evident in the widely observed decline in abundance and diversity of species, profound changes in community structure, and shifts in species’ phenology. Insects are among the most affected groups, with documented decreases in abundance up to 76% in the last 25–30 years in some terrestrial ecosystems ...
