Assessing the freshwater quality of a large-scale mining watershed : the need for integrated approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Water quality assessments provide essential information for protecting aquatic habitats and stakeholders downstream of mining sites. Moreover, mining companies must comply with environmental quality standards and include public participation in water ...

Ontogeny of escape response and body shape in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Escape responses in fishes provide insight into accelerative motions and behavioural response times of these animals, linking numerous fitness‐related traits. We sought to connect escape response performance to genotype and phenotype across ontogenetic stages within a single population of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) to ...

Feeding ecology of an Amazonian electric knifefish under altered flood‐pulse dynamics caused by hydroelectric damming

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of the controlled flood pulse on diet composition, trophic niche breadth and feeding intensity of Archolaemus janeae, an electric knifefish species with a restricted distribution in the Amazon Basin. Monthly samples were collected from December 2020 to November 2021 in the Volta Grande stretch of the Xingu ...

Non‐native pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha carcasses benefit native benthic macroinvertebrates

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The invasion of the North Atlantic by pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha has raised concerns regarding their impact on coastal rivers. Although the influence of marine‐derived nutrients from returning adult O. gorbuscha on rivers in their native range has received much attention, the ecological consequences of invasive O.

Biotic and abiotic interactions in temporary summer pools of southern Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In the south of Portugal, the summer season is characterized by reduced precipitation and high air temperatures, which causes the disruption of surface flow and subsequent formation of disconnect pools that may dry out entirely.

Ecological succession of a Jurassic shallow-water ichthyosaur fall. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
After the discovery of whale fall communities in modern oceans, it has been hypothesized that during the Mesozoic the carcasses of marine reptiles created similar habitats supporting long-lived and specialized animal communities.

Ecological restoration hierarchy as a lens to reveal the foundational economic and legal structures impeding restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to habitat destruction, economic expansion, and insufficient conservation efforts. Traditional mitigation strategies, which focus on minimizing harm rather than reversing damage, are inadequate for achieving net biodiversity gain. Objectives This article introduces the restoration hierarchy, a

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

open access: yes, 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.
