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

Freshwater 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

Stream Invertebrate Responses to Fine Sediment Depend on the Organic and Inorganic Components

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Excess fine sediment ( < 2 mm) is a pervasive stressor of aquatic systems at a global scale. To date, most research quantifying ecological response to deposited fine sediment has been conducted without distinguishing between the organic and inorganic components of fine sediment, leaving mechanistic understanding of how fine sediment affects ...

Estimating Rapid Diversity Changes During Acute Herbicide Contamination Using Environmental DNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–February 2025.
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.

Diptera‐dominated generalist pollination systems in Eurya japonica and Eurya emarginata (Pentaphylacaceae)

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 70-85, January 2025.
Eurya japonica and Eurya emarginata exhibited Diptera‐dominated pollination systems. The composition of flower visitors on the two Eurya species was not explained by their floral traits. These findings indicate that the floral traits are not specifically adapted to their local pollinators.

Arthropod diversity in constructed wetlands is affected strongly by shoreline properties but only weakly by grazing

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 12, Page 2323-2333, December 2024.
Abstract Aim Aquatic‐terrestrial transition zones contain features essential for many species that often benefit wetland biodiversity. Shallow flood‐zone areas and reed beds are indicative of natural wetland habitats; however, how such features affect the native arthropod biodiversity in constructed wetlands is scarcely investigated. We asked how these

New aquatic insects from the Miocene of Australia with notes on the ecology and ontogeny of a new species of Chaoborus (Diptera, Chaoboridae)

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract We describe a diverse aquatic insect assemblage from McGraths Flat, a Miocene Lagerstätte in central New South Wales, Australia that includes representatives of Sialidae, Limoniidae, Chironomidae and Chaoboridae. The aquatic insect fossils from this deposit consist predominantly of larvae.

Chewing through challenges: Exploring the evolutionary pathways to wood‐feeding in insects

BioEssays, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Decaying wood, while an abundant and stable resource, presents considerable nutritional challenges due to its structural rigidity, chemical recalcitrance, and low nitrogen content. Despite these challenges, certain insect lineages have successfully evolved saproxylophagy (consuming and deriving sustenance from decaying wood), impacting ...
