Oligochaeta (Annelida: Clitellata) associated to aquatic macrophytes in Brazil
Oligochaeta are still characterized as a poorly studied group among the aquatic macroinvertebrates and few studies about their ecology were conducted in Brazil.

Avaliando a interrupção da conectividade longitudinal em assembleias de macroinvertebrados em um rio semi-árido [PDF]
Aim: Our aim in this study was evaluate the effects of flow regulation for irrigation on the macroinvertebrate assemblages in a semiarid river. Methods:We sampled two reaches in Dulce River; one placed upstream a weir that diverts flow into a network of ...

Resilience of riparian spiders to floods: evidence from a mesocosm study
Mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of flood duration on flood‐naïve riparian spider communities. In May, spider richness decreased with flood duration, while in June, flood duration increased abundance, richness and promoted wetland specialists. Flood‐naïve riparian spiders unexpectedly appear highly resilient to flooding.

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.

ABSTRACT Diverse invertebrate communities inhabiting carbonate rocks at methane seeps may rely on a mix of local chemosynthetic production and sinking photosynthetic organic matter, with relative importance shaped by environmental conditions. We investigate the contribution of chemosynthetic carbon to macrofaunal diets at six Southern California ...

Effect of woodstack structure on invertebrate abundance and diversity [PDF]
Reduced quantities of dead wood in managed forests have resulted in a reduction in the abundance and diversity of saproxylic invertebrates to the extent that many are now considered red list species.

ABSTRACT Within river corridors, hydrological connectivity drives the local abiotic and biotic processes, shapes ecosystem functioning and promotes biodiversity. However, hydrological cycling is changing due to climate change, and drought is intensifying and becoming more frequent in many regions of the world, making it critical to understand the ...
