Effects of Goose Herbivory on Littoral Vegetation and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates During Breeding Season

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT During recent decades, increased populations of geese have raised concerns about their potential impact on the abundance and composition of shoreline vegetation through grazing, and how this may affect other organisms relying on the same vegetation for food or refuge.

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Old methane fuels modern river food web

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1721-1731, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Dominant ecological paradigms provide theoretical frameworks for two basal sources of carbon to riverine food webs: carbon fixed by algae and submerged macrophytes (autochthonous) and carbon fixed by terrestrial vascular plants that enters aquatic ecosystems as litter ...

Length–Dry Mass Relationships of Aquatic Insects: Geographic and Taxonomic Variation in a Digital Database

open access: yesFreshwater 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 ...

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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
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 ...

Diversity of Water Bugs in Gujranwala District, Punjab, Pakistan

open access: yesJournal of Bioresource Management, 2017
Water bugs fall under the order Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera, which is further divided into two types, i.e., semi-aquatic (Gerromorpha) and true water bugs (Nepomorpha). They play a vital role as biological control agents and also a source of food for
