Low flow controls on benthic and hyporheic macroinvertebrate assemblages during supra-seasonal drought [PDF]

, 2009
Despite the widely accepted importance of the hyporheic zone as a habitat for stream macroinvertebrates during floods, few data exist regarding community composition and distribution during periods of low flow or drought in perennial streamsi ...

A global estimator of C and N isotope baselines for fresh waters

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Baselines are the pebbles in the shoes of isotope ecologists. The extreme variability of the isotope composition of resources at the base of food webs governs the spatial differences of consumers' isotope composition, so that isotope‐inferred trophic properties can be compared across ecosystems only after correction for baseline effects ...

Using Macroinvertebrates to Test the Water Quality of Lake Nacogdoches [PDF]

, 2019
The target of this assessment was to conduct a water quality test on Lake Nacogdoches in Nacogdoches TX. Lake Nacogdoches is operated by the city of Nacogdoches for municipal water supply and recreation.

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Ecological integrity of boreal streams [PDF]

, 2007
Running waters provide a number of services for humans, such as drinking water and food resources and many freshwater animals are confined and specialised to this environment.

Environmental factors affect the condition of critically endangered freshwater pearl mussels by disrupting terrestrial–aquatic resource connectivity

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This regional‐scale field study shows that critically threatened freshwater pearl mussels rely substantially on terrestrial organic matter, indicating strong connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, human pressures at the catchment scale reduced this resource connectivity.

Height and phytotelm size affect the invertebrate communities of epiphytic bromeliads in the Amazon rainforest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Driver-pressure-impact and response-recovery chains in European rivers: observed and predicted effects on BQEs [PDF]

, 2011
The report presented in the following is part of the outcome of WISER’s river Workpackage WP5.1 and as such part of the module on aquatic ecosystem management and restoration. The ultimate goal of WP5.1 is to provide guidance on best practice restoration

Flooding affects fluctuating asymmetry but not growth of a riparian orbweaving spider

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
In a mesocosm experiment we assessed the impact of flood on aquatic insect emergence and on spider development using geometric morphometric analysis of fluctuating asymmetry. We observed 45% higher emergence in flooded mesocosm throughout the season. Spiders did not grow bigger but exhibited ~15% lower fluctuating asymmetry than in controls.
