Predator–prey interactions between native brine shrimp Artemia parthenogenetica and the alien boatman Trichocorixa verticalis: influence of salinity, predator sex, and size, abundance and parasitic status of prey [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Trichocorixa verticalis (T. verticalis), native to North America and the Caribbean islands, is an invasive waterboatman species (Corixidae) in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Previous studies in the native range have suggested that predation by T.

Submersed Aquatic Vegetation Enhances Density and Diversity of Epifaunal Invertebrates Compared to Filamentous Mats in the Central Baltic Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study evaluates the relative importance of Submersed Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) and filamentous mats in shaping epifaunal invertebrate communities in the central Baltic Sea. Our results showed that diversity, vertical structure, and biomass of SAV were all positively associated with higher total epifaunal abundance and greater abundance of ...

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities and water quality assessment in high Andean Wetlands Callali-Oscollo, Arequipa-Cusco, Peru

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2023
High Andean wetlands are fragile systems, vulnerable to human activity and climate change. In the Arequipa region (Peru), there are high Andean lotic and lentic systems currently affected by livestock raising, fish farming, and dams.

An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

When do beetles and bugs fly? A unified scheme for describing seasonal flight behaviour of highly dispersing primary aquatic insects [PDF]

, 2013
Many authors investigated the dispersal flight of aquatic insects, but the exact length of the seasonal flying periods and its main characteristics have not been determined.

Waterborne transmission largely contributes to the epidemiology of a plankton parasite

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Understanding how parasites spread is crucial for preventing infections and predicting epidemic dynamics. These efforts are challenging for environment‐borne parasites because transmission is host density‐independent. We monitored the dynamics of Pasteuria ramosa, a common bacterial parasite of Daphnia magna with prolonged free‐living ...

Quantitative Metabarcoding Reveals the Effects of Ecological Factors and Invasive Species on Functional Diversity of Freshwater Insects

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are the most biodiverse freshwater animals. DNA metabarcoding data are increasingly used to assess variation in insect communities, but they are rarely integrated with information on the abundance or biomass of different taxa that can provide key insights into their functional responses.
