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

Limnology 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.

Connectivity, neutral theories and the assessment of species vulnerability to global change in temperate estuaries [PDF]

, 2013
One of the main adaptation strategies to global change scenarios, aiming to preserve ecosystem functioning and biodiversity, is to maximise ecosystem resilience.

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

Colombia 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

The choice of a suitable sampler for benthic macroinvertebrates in deep rivers [PDF]

, 1980
Both chemical and biological methods are used to assess the water quality of rivers. Many standard physical and chemical methods are now established, but biological procedures of comparable accuracy and versatility are still lacking.

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

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

Advances 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 ...

Rapid Assessment of Intertidal Wetland Sediments [PDF]

, 2012
Urbanization of coastal areas poses a severe threat to ecologically valuable intertidal wetlands. This paper presents a pragmatic approach called Rapid Assessment for Intertidal Wetland Sediments (RAITWS) for evaluating the sediment quality of intertidal

Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Biodiversity Monitoring of a Riparian Wetland in a Mixed-Use Watershed in the Central Appalachians, USA, before Restoration

Diversity, 2022
Wetland mitigation efforts have increased in numbers over the past two decades to combat wetland loss in the United States. Data regarding wetland function such as biodiversity are required to be collected 5–10 years after a project is complete; however,
