Results of the Austrian-Ceylonese hydrobiological mission 1970 of the 1st Zoological Institute of the University of Vienna (Austria) and the Department of Zoology of the Vidyalankara University of Ceylon, Kelaniya. Pt. 1. Preliminary report: introduction and description of the stations [PDF]
The Austrian-Ceylonese hydrobiological mission of 1970 investigated and made collections from 36 flowing water systems (brooks, torrents, rivers); of these, 34 water systems were in the mountains regions of south-west and south-east of Sri Lanka.

Self‐Propelled Morphing Matter for Small‐Scale Swimming Soft Robots
Bioinspired morphing swimmers are designed integrating chemical protein motors and photoresponsive liquid crystal networks. This approach gives access to five interchangeable modes of locomotion within a single swimming robot via shape‐morphing of the soft structure. The proposed design, which mimics the mechanisms of surface gliding and posture change

Co‐Occurrence Patterns of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Laurentian Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands
We investigated community structure and species co‐occurrence patterns in Great Lakes coastal wetlands benthic macroinvertebrates using null models. We developed a framework and approach to address recent controversy over the use of presence‐absence matrices and null models to infer ecological interactions from non‐random co‐occurrence patterns using ...

A biological tool to assess flow connectivity in reference temporary streams from the Mediterranean Basin [PDF]
Many streams in the Mediterranean Basin have temporary flow regimes. While timing for seasonal drought is predictable, they undergo strong inter-annual variability in flow intensity.

Water striders (Hemiptera: Gerridae) are well known to prey mainly on insects that fall on the water surface but also feed on other organisms. Here, we report on the predation on egg sacs of Hynobius nigrescens (Caudata: Hynobiidae) by Gerris (Macrogerris) insularis from field observation and a rearing experiment.

ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels are a globally threatened taxon, but little is known about population trajectories for species outside Europe and North America. To contribute to understanding of mussel conservation status outside these regions, we surveyed mussel and other invertebrate populations in waterbodies across Dhaka, Bangladesh, to assess ...

Limnology of Four Bauxite Open-Pit Lakes [PDF]
The aquatic flora and fauna and 18 physicochemical characteristics of four bauxite open-pit lakes were studied from September 1969 to August 1970. The least acid lake (pH 3.4-4.4) supported 49 different aquatic insects, plankton, and higher aquatic ...
