Benthic macroinvertebrates in Italian rice fields

Journal of Limnology, 2013
Rice fields can be considered man-managed temporary wetlands. Five rice fields handled with different management strategies, their adjacent channels, and a spring were analysed by their benthic macroinvertebrate community to i) evaluate the role of rice ...

Facilitating the recovery of insect communities in restored streams by increasing oviposition habitat

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 2, March 2024.
Abstract Recruitment limitation is known to influence species abundances and distributions. Recognition of how and why it occurs both in natural and in designed environments could improve restoration. Aquatic insects, for instance, rarely reestablish in restored streams to levels comparable to reference streams even years after restoration.

A nemertean excitatory peptide/CCHamide regulates ciliary swimming in the larvae of Lineus longissimus

Frontiers in Zoology, 2019
Background The trochozoan excitatory peptide (EP) and its ortholog, the arthropod CCHamide, are neuropeptides that are only investigated in very few animal species. Previous studies on different trochozoan species focused on their physiological effect in
