Estimating sample representativeness in a survey of stream caddisfly fauna [PDF]

, 2006
Obtaining an adequate and representative sample is a continuing challenge of community ecology. The present study focuses on what sample area represents adequately the structural composition of the caddisfly fauna of a riffle, at a given sampling ...

Inter‐Annual Variation in Alpha and Beta Diversity of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities in Agricultural Ditches

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.

Ecological Significance of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Headwater Streams

Journal of Tropical Forestry and Environment
Headwater streams are the starting points of river ecosystems, that consist of an array of unique microhabitats. Most of these stream segments are first-order streams and these aquatic ecosystems provide habitats for many macroinvertebrates including ...

Comparison of a wood sampler for macroinvertebrate bioassessment of non-wadeable streams in the southeastern coastal plain

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2020
Aquatic macroinvertebrates are often the subject of biomonitoring efforts because they are ubiquitous in most systems and are known to be suitable indicators of water quality.

The classification and prediction of macroinvertebrate communities in British rivers [PDF]

, 1985
This article describes the progress of the River Communities Project which commenced in 1977. This project aimed to develop a sensitive and practical system for river site classification using macroinvertebrates as an objective means of appraising the ...

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.

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Soil Macroinvertebrate Presence Alters Microbial Community Composition and Activity in the Rhizosphere

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Despite decades of research, our understanding of the importance of invertebrates for soil biogeochemical processes remains incomplete. This is especially true when considering soil invertebrate effects mediated through their interactions with soil ...

Evaluación de la calidad del agua mediante un enfoque múltiple en arroyos de la llanura templada (Argentina, América del Sur) [PDF]

, 2012
We assessed the water quality in two pampean lotic systems (Argentina), the Juan Blanco and Buñirigo streams, subjected to different land uses (i. e., the UNESCO Biosphere Nature Reserve versus industry and agriculture, respectively) through measurements
