Patch size drives colonization by aquatic insects, with minor priority effects of a cohabitant. [PDF]
Patch size had strong effects on colonizing insect communities with some species preferring large patches and other species preferring small patches. Treefrog larvae have little direct effect on insect colonization, but when they had high densities in large patches, some of the insect colonization spilled over into adjacent small patches.

Development of a flow‐sensitive macroinvertebrate index for Australian rivers
Abstract Hydrologically sensitive macroinvertebrate indices have been developed in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand to serve many purposes such as monitoring ecological responses to drought, flow regulation, water extraction and the provision of environmental flows.

The proposed methodology combines local habitat surveys across sites of various degrees of disturbance with species‐level metabarcoding, as a model for biological evaluation of water bodies in poorly known and inaccessible places across the world. Implemented here for the Indo‐Burmese hotspot, the approach will have great value for applied conservation
