Patch size drives colonization by aquatic insects, with minor priority effects of a cohabitant. [PDF]
Patch size had strong effects on colonizing insect communities with some species preferring large patches and other species preferring small patches. Treefrog larvae have little direct effect on insect colonization, but when they had high densities in large patches, some of the insect colonization spilled over into adjacent small patches.

Anticipating where are unknown aquatic insects in Europe to improve biodiversity conservation
Abstract Aim Understanding biodiversity patterns is crucial for prioritizing future conservation efforts and reducing the current rates of biodiversity loss. However, a large proportion of species remain undescribed (i.e. unknown biodiversity), hindering our ability to conduct this task.

Abstract Coastal wetlands provide critical habitat for aquatic organisms and important ecosystem services for the terrestrial and aquatic landscapes that they bridge, but increasingly common invasive macrophytes disrupt plant communities, food webs, habitat structure and littoral–pelagic linkages.

Development of a flow‐sensitive macroinvertebrate index for Australian rivers
Abstract Hydrologically sensitive macroinvertebrate indices have been developed in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand to serve many purposes such as monitoring ecological responses to drought, flow regulation, water extraction and the provision of environmental flows.

Abstract Artificial channels are common features in lowland agricultural catchments, and are a potentially significant habitat for aquatic species. Recent studies have suggested communities in managed rivers and artificial channels are broadly similar, but with some compositional differences.

Life History of \u3ci\u3eMesovelia Mulsanti\u3c/i\u3e (Hemiptera: Mesoveliidae) in Southern Illinois [PDF]
The life history of Mesovelia mulsanti was studied during 1983-1986. This species was apparently trivoltine with a partial 4th generation at the end of the year. It overwintered as eggs. First ins tars appeared in mid-April followed by marked overlapping
