Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 1966-1978, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim We propose a novel approach that considers taxonomic uniqueness, functional uniqueness and environmental uniqueness and show how it can be used in guiding conservation planning. We illustrate the approach using data for lake biota and environment. Location Lake Puruvesi, Finland.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 5, Page 1276-1287, May 2021., 2021 The authors study shows that functional traits can be used to meaningfully interpret species‐to‐species associations from joint species distribution models. It also helps to fill a research gap in macroecology by focusing on possible biotic interactions among freshwater macroinvertebrates.

Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 353-371, March 2021., 2021 This study compares DNA‐based methods and biomonitoring morphology and molecular‐based identification of freshwater macroinvertebrates at the family and mOTU level. Molecular OTU recovery was compared with historical species records. Metabarcoding of unsorted kick‐samples recovers the highest diversity.

Nutritional quality of littoral macroinvertebrates and pelagic zooplankton in subarctic lakes
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue S1, Page S81-S97, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Littoral benthic primary production is considered the most important energy source of consumers in subarctic lakes. We analyzed essential fatty acid (EFA) and amino acid (EAA) content of 23 littoral benthic macroinvertebrate taxa as well as cladocerans and copepods from pelagic and littoral habitats of 8–9 subarctic lakes to compare their ...

Benthic and interstitial habitats of a lentic spring as invertebrate refuges during supra-seasonal drought [PDF]
, 2013 Instream refuges are places where invertebrates persist during disturbances due to reduced adverse impacts. During droughts, low flows may be accompanied by elevated temperatures, and potential refuges including subsurface sediments and spring-fed ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue S1, Page S157-S168, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Retrogressive thaw slumps are areas of unstable degraded permafrost that often drain into nearby watersheds, leading to increased sediment loads and changes in water quality. Thaw slumps are prevalent across the Arctic, including western Canada, Alaska, and Russia, and high‐altitude areas of western China.

Environmental variables, pesticide pollution and meiofaunal community structure in two contrasting temporarily open/closed false bay estuaries [PDF]
, 2011 Environmental variables (including natural and anthropogenic stressors) and meiobenthic communities were sampled in a ‘natural’ (Rooiels) and a ‘disturbed’ (Lourens) estuary in the Western Cape, South Africa, bimonthly for 20 months. A primary aim of the
