Archived Historical Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Specimens Suggest Connections Between Microplastic Abundance Patterns, Trophic Traits, and Land Use [PDF]

Insects
Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in the environment, with microplastics (particles < 5 mm) a worldwide emergent contaminant of concern; however, no studies have explored historical patterns in freshwater macroinvertebrates in connection to species traits ...

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 ...

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

Effects of trace elements on benthic macroinvertebrate distribution in the sediments of two rivers in the Olifants River Basin, South Africa

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2023
Many freshwater ecosystems are facing ecological challenges such as influx of trace elements from human activities, and sediments behave as a sink for trace elements in these environments.
