Testing the Optimal Foraging Theory in a Generalist Feeder: The Case of Reintroduced European Pond Turtles and Its Impact on Macroinvertebrates Communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study we investigated the macroinvertebrate (MI) communities in two newly created, man‐made ponds concurrently with the diet of captive‐bred European pond turtles that were translocated there. We aimed at assessing whether turtles were operating as generalist feeders, and if successive reintroductions of turtles would affect the overall MI ...

Length–Dry Mass Relationships of Aquatic Insects: Geographic and Taxonomic Variation in a Digital Database

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
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 ...

Species Richness and Abundance of Benthic Invertebrates Are Multiplied by Beaver (Castor sp.) Activities in Small Floodplains

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Beaver activities modify floodplains of small streams fundamentally. Prevailing lotic sections are supplemented with several additional habitats (e.g., ponds, dams and side channels). While there are several investigations into the invertebrate fauna of single beaver‐induced habitats, the ways beavers modify aquatic invertebrate assemblages of
