Effects of Engineered Dam Releases on Benthic Assemblages During Drought and Comparison With Unregulated Reaches

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River regulation following damming is often associated with deleterious downstream effects, in large part due to reduced total discharge and disruption of seasonal flooding. These effects would be expected to be exacerbated by drought, particularly extended drought.

Criação e Transporte de Ninfas de Ephemeroptera (Insecta) em Campo

open access: yesEntomoBrasilis, 2013
Muitas espécies de Ephemeroptera são conhecidas somente em um estágio, normalmente adulto ou ninfa. Nesse estudo é proposto uma metodologia para transporte e criação de ninfas em campo Rearing and Transport of Mayfly Nymphs in the Field Abstract ...

The first complete mitochondrial genome of Hexagenia rigida Mc Dunnough, 1924 (Ephemeroptera: Ephemeridae) and its phylogeny

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
The phylogenetic relationship of Ephemeridae (Insect: Ephemeroptera) remains hotly debated using mitochondrial (mt) genomes. All previously reported mt genomes of Ephemeridae belong to the genus Ephemera.

Development and Improvement of Habitat Suitability Criteria for Instream Habitat Assessments Conducted in Support of Environmental Flows in Florida

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

Oxidative Damage, Energy Imbalance, and Behavioral Disruptions in Girardia tigrina Exposed to Treated Sewage Effluents

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the ecotoxicological effects of treated sewage on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, integrating biochemical, energetic, and behavioral biomarkers. Planarians were exposed for 48 h to different concentrations of treated sewage (12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) and compared to controls using commercial water and water from

Dietary differentiation of two co‐occurring common bat species (Eptesicus nilssonii and Pipistrellus pygmaeus)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Sympatric bat species can co‐exist and avoid interspecific competition via niche differentiation e.g. diet. Detecting dietary differences can be achieved by comparing dietary niches of sympatric and allopatric populations. If dietary overlap is higher in sympatry versus allopatry, co‐occurrence may be altering the dietary niche of the species.

Diurnal variations in the diet of 0 to 3 years old Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. under semiarctic summer conditions in the Alta River, Northern Norway

open access: yesFauna Norvegica, 1986
The stomach contents of 0 to 3 year old salmon were investigated throughout a single 20 hour period in each of July, August and September 1981. There was no marked diurnal variation in stomach content of fry, while that of parr indicated nocturnal ...

Fauna of Ephemeroptera in the running waters of west Serbia [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2002
During the period 1988 - 1996 the Ephemeroptera diversity in West Serbia was studied. These investigations included 124 springs, considerable number of spring regions, as well as rivers: the Sušica, Djetinja, Skrapež Pocibrava, Banja, Gradac, Jablanica ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) of Kosovo: conservation status, key threats, and management priorities

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica
Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are among the most ecologically sensitive and conservation-relevant components of freshwater ecosystems, yet they remain insufficiently integrated into conservation planning in Kosovo. This study presents an initial conservation-
