ABSTRACT Aim The relationships between environmental variables and macroinvertebrate assemblages depend on spatial extent, but the relative importance of local and regional factors remains unclear. Understanding these scale‐dependent relationships is crucial for improving biodiversity assessments and ecosystem management.

3.1.3. Mollusca The members of the phylum Mollusca (gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods) are economically important due to their consumption as food and the wide variety of species they encompass. In this review, we considered a total of 52 species from 36 articles. The concentration of MPs in these organisms was mostly observed in their soft tissues,

Agricultural pond restoration enhances species richness in non‐biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Agricultural ponds are biodiversity hotspots, especially when restored to open‐canopy conditions. Studies comparing pre‐ and post‐restoration pond diversity are rare, however, and have widely focused on “easy‐to‐identify” taxa. Chironomids have so far been neglected in pond restoration studies, but are a highly speciose group critical to aquatic ...

Lacustrine mollusc radiations in the Lake Malawi Basin : experiments in a natural laboratory for evolution [PDF]
In terminal Pliocene-early Pleistocene times, part of the Malawi Basin was occupied by paleo-lake Chiwondo. Molluscan biostratigraphy situates this freshwater lake either in the East African wet phase between 2.7-2.4 Ma or that of 2.0-1.8 Ma.

Restoration using flow deflectors: a question of fine‐scale spatial layout in headwater stream beds
Current European Union objectives for 2030 aim to restore ecosystems to halt biodiversity loss. Here, we studied the consequences of headwater stream restoration by placing large wood in the streambed to act as flow deflectors. We hypothesized that these flow deflectors would create a fine‐scale spatial arrangement of habitats, fostering a diverse and ...

Biodiversity study of Southern Biscayne Bay and Card Sound 1968-1973 [PDF]
A multi-disciplinary investigation was conducted in southern Biscayne Bay and Card Sound from 1968 to 1973. The purpose of the investigation was to conduct an integrated study of the ecology of southern Biscayne Bay with special emphasis on the effects ...

Self-fertilisation in Mollusca [PDF]
As the question of self-fertilisation in the more highly organised invertebrates is of considerable importance from the genetic point of view, I would like to direct the attention of readers of NATURE to a publication (Acta Soc. pro Fauna et Flora Fennica, vol. 40, No. 2, 1915), a copy of which I have just received from the author, Dr. A. Luther.
