Combining taxonomy and function in the study of stream macroinvertebrates
, 2016 Over the last fifty years, research on freshwater macroinvertebrates has been driven largely by the state of the taxonomy of these animals. In the great majority of studies conducted during the 2000s macroinvertebrates have been operationally defined by ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to habitat destruction, economic expansion, and insufficient conservation efforts. Traditional mitigation strategies, which focus on minimizing harm rather than reversing damage, are inadequate for achieving net biodiversity gain. Objectives This article introduces the restoration hierarchy, a

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Hydrologic wetland restoration in the Prairie Pothole Region is a common management practice to facilitate habitat and ecosystem recovery after degradation or drainage. Little is known about the recovery of sediment microbial communities relative to other organisms, such as vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrates, even though they are critical for ...

The Colonization of Newly Built Fishponds by the Macroinvertebrate Assemblages
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2016 The succession of standing waters by aquatic macroinvertebrates is a present and insufficiently surveyed topic. This study is addressed to the issue of colonisation of newly created small standing waters.

Effects of macrobenthos on sediment-water oxygen and ammonium fluxes. Final Report. [PDF]
, 1997 Sediments are an important location in determining the fate of nutrients entering the estuary. Role of sediments needs to be incorporated into water quality models.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.

Untersuchungen zur Renaturierung von Feuchtgebieten im Tijuana Ästuar unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von brackwasserhaltigen und salinen Teichen [PDF]
, 2013 This study represents the first comprehensive biological and hydrochemical investigation of small coastal ponds in the saltmarsh dominated Tijuana Estuary, southern California (U.S.). Special attention is given to the brackish water biotopes.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Habitat restoration is applied to promote ecological recovery in degraded freshwater systems. However, it remains unclear whether stream restoration measures enhance Water Framework Directive (WFD) ecological status and biodiversity.
