The Individual and Interactive Effects of Climate, Land Use and Nutrient Enrichment on Macroinvertebrate Dynamics in South African Rivers. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study uses macroinvertebrate data from 30 streams in South Africa to understand how multiple climate‐ and anthropogenic‐related stressors shape their distribution. Both single and interactive terms shaped community composition, with stressor interactions dominating responses.

Spatial and temporal variability of macroinvertebrates in spawning and non-spawning habitats during a salmon run in Southeast Alaska. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Spawning salmon create patches of disturbance through redd digging which can reduce macroinvertebrate abundance and biomass in spawning habitat. We asked whether displaced invertebrates use non-spawning habitats as refugia in streams.

Beta diversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with aquatic macrophytes in shallow lakes within a tropical floodplain-dammed river [PDF]
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia: Aims We assessed the beta diversity of macroinvertebrates associated with aquatic macrophytes in a dam-regulated river floodplain. We tested two hypotheses: (1) macroinvertebrates associated with aquatic macrophytes have higher beta diversity (higher ...
