Complex effects of acidification, habitat properties and fish stock on littoral macroinvertebrate assemblages in montane standing waters

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2022
Littoral macroinvertebrates in acidified waterbodies are affected by the interaction of acidification and local environmental conditions. Understanding the interplay of these factors in the structuring of communities is essential for interpreting ...

First contingent valuation of Lake Ohrid biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yesMicro, Macro & Mezzo Geoinformation, 2016
This study is first of its kind for the region in question. It focuses on contingent valuation method evaluation of the biodiversity of Lake Ohrid. The most spectacular quality of this ecosystem is the high biodiversity and extremely high degree of ...

Beta diversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with aquatic macrophytes in shallow lakes within a tropical floodplain-dammed river [PDF]

open access: yesActa 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 ...

The effect of urban point source contamination on microplastic levels in water and organisms in a cold‐water stream

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, 2020
We examined the influence of point and nonpoint source contamination on microplastic (MP) levels in water, macroinvertebrates, and trout in a small, cold‐water stream in western Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Macroinvertebrates associated with Guzmania mitis L.B. Sm. (Bromeliaceae) in two fragments of oak grove

open access: yesColombia Forestal, 2013
The composition and abundance of macroinvertebrates associated with the terrestrial bromeliad Guzmania mitis in two fragments of oak grove with different conservation status in Arcabuco, Boyacá were studied. The study aimed to establish whether there are

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...

Building a local reference library for metabarcoding survey of lake macrobenthos: oligochaetes and chironomids from Lake Maggiore

open access: yesAdvances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2022
This study represents a first reference database of genetic diversity of macroinvertebrates for a barcoding marker for Lake Maggiore, focusing on the two dominant groups of the littoral benthic fauna (chironomids and oligochaetes), commonly used for ...

Microplastic ingestion by riverine macroinvertebrates

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2019
Although microplastics are a recognised pollutant in marine environments, less attention has been directed towards freshwater ecosystems despite their greater proximity to possible plastic sources. Here, we quantify the presence of microplastic particles (MPs) in river organisms upstream and downstream of five UK Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTWs). MPs

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Characteristic of macroinvertebrates abundance in cascade-pond system at Universitas Indonesia Campus, West Java, Indonesia

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Catchment area of cascade-pond system at Universitas Indonesia (UI) campus is an area with high population density. The high population density has led to increasing impervious cover since it has to provide the housing needs.
