Sampling effort to characterize estuarine macroinfaunal communities in patchy habitats

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Estuarine benthic macroinfauna have aggregated, patchy distributions, making accurate community measurements dependent upon sampling scales. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate core sizes and sampling effort needed to characterize benthic infaunal communities in Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, USA.

Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1022-1037, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that

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

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 997-1010, June 2026.
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.

Macroinvertebrate Communities Vary With Surface Water Permanence but Not Land Management in a Tallgrass Prairie Stream Network [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Konza Prairie Biological Station, located within one of the largest remaining areas of native tallgrass prairie, is unique in that grazing and prescribed burn treatments, as well as surface water permanence, vary spatially. We found that aquatic macroinvertebrate communities vary with streamflow permanence, but not grazing presence or prescribed burns ...

Allochthonous chemical cues drive predation by a top carnivore

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1698-1708, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Identifying the mechanisms by which mobile predators detect and select prey remains a central challenge in sensory biology and functional ecology. This study provides the first direct evidence that chemical cues associated with allochthonous organic matter (e.g.
