Beta diversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with aquatic macrophytes in shallow lakes within a tropical floodplain-dammed river [PDF]
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia: Aims We assessed the beta diversity of macroinvertebrates associated with aquatic macrophytes in a dam-regulated river floodplain. We tested two hypotheses: (1) macroinvertebrates associated with aquatic macrophytes have higher beta diversity (higher ...

Measuring changes in consumer resource availability to riverine pulsing in Breton Sound, Louisiana, USA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Resource pulses are thought to structure communities and food webs through the assembly of consumers. Aggregated consumers represent a high quality resource subsidy that becomes available for trophic transfer during and after the pulse.

Flood Pulsing in Restoration : A Feasible Alternative for India?
Journal of Ecological Society, 2021 The full restoration of natural flood pulsed conditions has only been attempted in a few places in the world because the politics behind the original destruction of the wetland generally impedes full restoration. Often the desire to restore wetlands for wildlife and other purposes is not strong enough to alter or eliminate the engineering projects such
