Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

ABSTRACT Stream ecosystem functioning and community structure are influenced by local and catchment land use. In mosaic landscapes, agricultural activities can also affect leaf breakdown and detritivore assemblages in downstream forest reaches. We evaluated the combined effects of upstream deforestation and the input of a nonnative crop species on leaf

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 ...

Palaeoendemic invertebrates weakly reflect palaeoendemic plants across a 52‐year‐old fire boundary
Palaeoendemic invertebrates are associated with palaeoendemic vascular plants more than could be expected by chance in alpine/subalpine ecosystems on either side of a 52‐year‐old fire boundary. However, some palaeoendemic invertebrates are generalists in their associations with plant species.

eDNA Is a Useful Environmental Monitoring Tool for Assessing Stream Ecological Health
Ecosystem health assessments made by traditional biomonitoring techniques were compared to those made using eDNA at 53 sites throughout New Zealand. We found a high degree of correlation and convergence between biotic indices calculated from traditional biomonitoring techniques and from eDNA.

Long‐term environmental flows restore benthic invertebrate communities in a highly regulated river
The construction of dams and other in‐stream structures for human use has altered river ecosystems worldwide. Dams degrade rivers, and environmental flow releases aim to mitigate flow alterations and restore rivers downstream of dams by returning elements of the pre‐regulation flow regime, resulting in an ecosystem that resembles a more natural state ...

Preenchendo lacunas na taxonomia de Gripopterygidae (Plecoptera) com foco na morfologia reprodutiva [PDF]
The phylogenetic relationships and species delimitation within Gripopteryginae, which includes Neotropical Gripopterygidae, remain poorly understood regarding morphological characters. This thesis advances the understanding of Neotropical Gripopterygidae
