Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Riffles are heterogeneous habitats that support diverse assemblages in natural streams. They are often constructed as part of stream restoration practice, including in degraded urban stream ecosystems, despite larger scale limits to ecological state.

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 1457-1472, November 2023., 2023 Abstract A better understanding of how soil organic matter (OM) content influences pesticide toxicity to soil invertebrates is needed to improve the ecological relevance of risk assessment approaches. In the current study, soil invertebrate toxicity data (LC50 and EC50 values) were collected from studies determining the toxicity of organic chemicals in

Pesticide effects on soil fauna communities—A meta‐analysis
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 1239-1253, July 2023., 2023 Our study highlights that pesticide use has significant detrimental non‐target effects on soil biodiversity, eroding a substantial part of global biodiversity and threatening ecosystem health. This provides crucial evidence supporting recent policies, such as the European Green Deal, that aim to reduce pesticide use in agriculture to conserve ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3497-3512, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite being the most important source of liquid freshwater on the planet, groundwater is severely threatened by climate change, agriculture, or industrial mining. It is thus extensively monitored for pollutants and declines in quantity. The organisms living in groundwater, however, are rarely the target of surveillance programmes and little ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Urban‐induced habitat conversion drastically changes soil life in a variety of ways. Soil sealing, human disturbance, habitat fragmentation, industrial and vehicular pollution are the main causes of urban soil degradation. Soil arthropods, as one of the most abundant and diverse group of soil fauna, are involved in many soil processes that are

Diesel exhaust particles alter gut microbiome and gene expression in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 Here we studied if airborne particulate matter from traffic is a potential driver of insect decline. We exposed workers of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris to sublethal doses of diesel exhaust particles and brake dust, orally or via air. Oral exposure to diesel exhaust particles changed microbiome composition and altered gene expression. Abstract Insect

The role of glacier mice in the invertebrate colonisation of glacial surfaces: the moss balls of the Falljökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2012 Glacier surfaces have a surprisingly complex ecology. Cryoconite holes contain diverse invertebrate communities while other invertebrates, such as Collembola often graze on algae and windblown dead organic on the glacier surface.

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite the ecological significance of desert springs, little is known about relationships between spring hydrogeochemistry and ecology, particularly over multiple trophic levels. Here, we surveyed microbial communities (bacteria and archaea) and benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) communities in springs that recharge through granitoid bedrock in ...

Soil Organisms, 2019 Enchytraeids are an important component of Arctic ecosystems both as decomposers and part of the foodchain. Compared to other regions of the High Arctic, the enchytraeid fauna of Spitsbergen and some other islands of the Svalbard archipelago have been ...
