People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract A keystone species is one whose influence is disproportionate to its abundance, the absence of which would change the dynamics of an ecological or human community. Despite its widespread use in the scientific literature, there is a limited understanding of how the keystone concept is defined or measured, or applied in practice, and especially ...

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...

Extracting Additional Information From Biotic Index Samples [PDF]
, 2017 Macroinvertebrates were collected from a small midwestern stream over a 3-year period as part of a non-point source pollution study. Temporal and spatial variability in standard biotic index values (BIs) were computed and compared with variability ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Temporary streams are impacted by climate change and other anthropogenic pressures, but fluctuating water levels complicate ecological assessments. Terrestrial invertebrate communities may enable dry‐phase assessments, but their sampling can be resource intensive.

The application of predictive modelling for determining bio-environmental factors affecting the distribution of blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the Gilgel Gibe watershed in Southwest Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2014 Blackflies are important macroinvertebrate groups from a public health as well as ecological point of view. Determining the biological and environmental factors favouring or inhibiting the existence of blackflies could facilitate biomonitoring of rivers ...
