Our study shows that the landscape‐scale environmental gradient represented as ecotone and as local environmental factors can alternately determine the spatial structures of the floodplain biota across seasons. The study highlights the understudied yet important linkages of spatial and temporal biotic assemblages and advance understanding of ecology ...

Abstract Subsidy–stress gradients offer a useful framework for understanding ecological responses to perturbation and may help inform ecological metrics in highly modified systems. Historic, region‐wide shifts from bottomland hardwood forest to row crop agriculture can cause positively skewed impact gradients in alluvial plain ecoregions, resulting in ...

Estimating Rapid Diversity Changes During Acute Herbicide Contamination Using Environmental DNA
This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA metabarcoding to examine rapid changes in aquatic invertebrate communities following exposure to glyphosate‐based herbicide (GBH) in mesocosms under contrasted nutrient levels. We show a shift in community composition induced by GBH, and different impacts on zooplankton and insect family richness.

Morphology of follicle cells of Libellulidae (Odonata)
In libellulids, mature oocyte size varies within and between individual ovaries. The regulating mechanism is not yet understood. Variations in the contents of the follicle cells, and thereby their ability to secrete material into the oocyte, might explain some of the observed differences in oocyte size.
