Bayesian analysis of the multivariate dependence of three transition water ecosystem classifications [PDF]
, 2013 The Water Framework Directive (WFD) recognizes benthic macroinvertebrates as a good biological quality element for transitional waters as they are the most exposed to natural variability patterns characteristic of these ecosystems, due to their life ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Predicted increases in stream temperature are expected to accelerate organic matter decomposition in rivers. In detrital stream food webs, carbon use efficiency (CUE)—the proportion of consumed carbon (C) retained as biomass—determines whether C is stored in organisms or rapidly lost as CO2.

Common construction materials do not deter turtles from nesting in roadside habitat
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.We used a before‐during‐after study to evaluate rock rip‐rap at wetland crossings as a mitigation strategy to deter female turtles from nesting in unsafe roadside habitats. Although females did not nest in the rip‐rap, they continued to nest in roadside habitat, indicating the strategy was unsuccessful and required further research.

Use of habitat suitability modeling in the integrated urban water system modeling of the Drava River (Varazdin, Croatia) [PDF]
, 2012 The development of practical tools for providing accurate ecological assessment of rivers and species conditions is necessary to preserve habitats and species, stop degradation and restore water quality.

Signatures of Wild Animal Life in Earth's Landscapes
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Animals shape Earth surface processes and landforms by displacing Earth surface materials and by making them more or less susceptible to geophysical processes. Despite increased recognition of the global significance of animal landscape “signatures”, analysis of their magnitude and generality has not been possible until now.

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Groundwater discharge plays an important role in the hydrologic and ecologic functioning of rivers including sustaining streamflow and related habitat year‐round. Simultaneously, groundwater supports the increasing demands of people as the global population continues to grow.

Validating COI eDNA Metabarcoding Primers for Detection of Subterranean Fauna
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Subterranean ecosystems host a diverse range of ancient fauna, but studying these ecosystems is challenging due to significant sampling difficulties. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a promising approach for monitoring subterranean biodiversity, yet issues such as primer bias and non‐target amplification can complicate its ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Various anthropogenic disturbances affect the succession of aquatic habitats along dendritic river networks. Bioindicator taxa, such as fish, can be used to assess the effects of these disturbances on habitat quality. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a novel approach to complement traditional sampling and analysis of bioindicator ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.This study used sedimentary eDNA analysis and field‐based microcosms to assess the impacts of three major aquatic contaminants on bacterial assemblage structure. Our results showed significant but varied impact depending on exposure to which contaminant; we suggest five phyla, 13 families, and three species as potential bacterial bioindicators and ...

estar: An R package to measure ecological stability
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1090-1100, April 2026.Abstract Assessing ecological stability is a key task in biodiversity monitoring and conservation. Quantifying stability is not trivial because its different aspects can be measured with various properties. However, to date, no software enables measuring different stability properties on ecological time‐series data.
