Abstract Food webs are not static over time, but our knowledge of their dynamics is extremely scarce due to methodological challenges. In turn, this significantly limits our ability to mechanistically understand the temporal changes that trophic networks annually undergo.

Seasonal variations of diversity and abundance of the benthic Annelida in coastal sediments of the southern Caspian Sea (Mazandaran-Sari) [PDF]
In order to investigate seasonal variation of diversity and abundance of Annelida, seasonal sediment sampling was performed on 10 stations with depths of 1, 5, 10 and 20 meters in the coastal area of Sari, Iran in 2015-2016.

This study examines the invasion dynamics of the predatory invertebrate flatworm Kontikia andersoni, and its impacts on the invertebrate communities of sub‐Antarctic Macquarie Island. Our findings indicate that at higher elevations where K. andersoni is present there are significant reductions in invertebrate richness.

Differential responses of coolwater fishes to a whole‐lake reduction of a warmwater thermal guild
Abstract Climate change is transforming the ecology of lakes at a rapid pace, shifting some lakes toward warmwater‐dominant habitats. As a result, warmwater fishes are increasingly becoming more prevalent in lakes where they already existed, altering the patterning and strength of species interactions. Understanding shifting species interactions (e.g.,

Influence of human pressures on large river structure and function [PDF]
A large river study was conducted as part of the Cross Departmental Research Pool (CDRP) ecological integrity project to (i) provide an overview of the macroinvertebrate faunas of large rivers, including those in deep-water habitats, and (ii) to ...

The present study shows that the reason for isolation of Glossiphonia complanata from these aquatic plants was firstly founding of aquatic oligochaeta, snails and chironomidae that settled on aquatic plants as food.

The response of perennial and temporary headwater stream invertebrate communities to hydrological extremes [PDF]
The headwaters of karst rivers experience considerable hydrological variability, including spates and streambed drying. Extreme summer flooding on the River Lathkill (Derbyshire, UK) provided the opportunity to examine the invertebrate community response

Numerous factors may affect the pattern of distribution of benthic fauna in a river mouth region and, among the macroinvertebrates, Chironomidae and Oligochaeta are the most abundant groups and most tolerant to environmental changes. Aim The aim of this
