Riparian Bryophytes: An Overlooked Yet Important Habitat for Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Interior Pacific Northwest (USA) Salmonid-Bearing Streams. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated riparian bryophytes as habitat for aquatic invertebrates in an interior Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid stream system. Our results demonstrate that bryophytes are highly productive habitat for aquatic invertebrates in interior Pacific Northwest salmonid streams.

Soil macrofauna correlations with soil chemical and physical properties and crop sequences under no-tillage [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2023 Soil macrofauna is an important indicator of soil quality, as it is sensitive to changes in the environment as a result of soil management, which includes soil chemical and physical properties and the diversity of cultivated species.

Trophic structure of the benthic invertebrate community in the littoral zone of a mountain cascade system [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2002 The cascade of Solina/Myczkowce dam reservoirs situated in the West Carpathian Mts was investigated. The cascade consists of two reservoirs, the upper one built 35 yr ago on the San and Solinka Rivers of 2100 ha area separated from another one, of 190

Zoobenthos in watercourses and water bodies in the Bolonsky State Nature Reserve (Russia)
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020 Invertebrates play a major role in food chains, being the main feed stock for many vertebrates. So far, the benthic fauna communities are still poorly studied in many water body types, including wetlands in the River Amur basin.

Assessment of earthworms activity based on eaten biomass from selected catch crops
Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2019 The trophic activity of soil mesofauna, especially earthworms (the Lumbricidae family), is a key element in increasing the fertility of agroecosystems. Thee food strategies that earthworms use as part of the trophic networks in soil, and especially their

Evidence of niche partitioning under ontogenetic influences among three morphologically similar siluriformes in small subtropical streams. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ontogenetic influences in patterns of niche breadth and feeding overlap were investigated in three species of Siluriformes (Heptapterus sp., Rhamdia quelen and Trichomycterus poikilos) aiming at understanding the species coexistence.

Macroinvertebrate colonisation associated with native and invasive leaf litter decomposition
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020 Lake and reservoir ecosystems are regarded as heterotrophic detritus-based habitats which are dependent on both autochthonous and allochthonous organic matter for the majority of energy inputs.

Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM /Brazilian Multidisciplinay Journal, 2014 Macrophytes have different morphological structural complexities, offering to animals the availability of various niches. These plants are also an important substrate for the development of periphyton, which has a high nutritional value and is one of the
