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

Rapid Assessment of Intertidal Wetland Sediments

open access: yes, 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

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

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

The comparison of macroinvertebrates and diatoms as two biotic indices of water pollution [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The value of macroinvertebrates and diatom communities as monitors of water quality was studied at 25 sites in the North East of England. The aim was to compare and contrast the two methods on their benefits as environmental quality indicators.

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

open access: yesEcography, 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.

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

open access: yesDiversity, 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,

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 ...

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.
