Microplastic ingestion by riverine macroinvertebrates

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Although microplastics are a recognised pollutant in marine environments, less attention has been directed towards freshwater ecosystems despite their greater proximity to possible plastic sources. Here, we quantify the presence of microplastic particles (MPs) in river organisms upstream and downstream of five UK Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTWs). MPs

Land use and soil drainage interactions drive macroinvertebrates and diatoms composition but not their diversity [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Attaining and keeping good water quality is key to allow agriculture producing while lessening environmental impacts. Biological indicators (macroinvertebrates and diatoms) respond to diffuse pollution associated with agriculture by changes in their ...

Interaction of predatory macroinvertebrate communities with malaria vectors in aquatic habitats of three climatic zones in Burkina Faso [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background In aquatic larval habitats, Anopheles larvae are subject to the predatory activity and competition of macroinvertebrates. These macroinvertebrates may play a key role in the Anopheles population’s bioregulation in aquatic habitats and malaria ...

Effects of water temperature on freshwater macroinvertebrates: a systematic review

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2022
Water temperature is one of the main abiotic factors affecting the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems and its alteration can have important effects on biological communities. Macroinvertebrates are excellent bio‐indicators and have been used

Benthic Macroinvertebrates as Ecological Indicators: Their Sensitivity to the Water Quality and Human Disturbances in a Tropical River

Frontiers in Water, 2021
Macroinvertebrate metrics are helpful tools for the assessment of water quality and overall aquatic ecosystem health. However, their degree of sensitivity and the most reliable metrics for the bioassessment program development are very poorly studied in ...

Community structure of macroinvertebrates in protected and exploited areas of Baganga, Davao Oriental, Philippines

Davao Research Journal, 2023
Macroinvertebrates are vital in coastal marine environments, which function as ecologically (e.g., food chain) and socio-economically (e.g., income generation for coastal gleaners). Different anthropogenic activities, including unregulated gleaning, pose
