Invertebrates on isolated peaks in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site, South Africa

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2012
A survey to document and describe the alpine flora and various focal faunal taxa on six isolated inselberg-like peaks (total area of 31.9 ha), all 3000 m or higher, located in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site, South Africa, was ...

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1366-1382, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

Lessons Learnt From Long‐Term Monitoring of River Restoration in an English Chalk Stream

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1209-1222, July 2026.
ABSTRACT River restoration can be difficult to evaluate due to insufficient monitoring over timescales too short to adequately capture physical and ecological response. To better understand restoration outcomes, this study quantified changes in physical habitat (depth, velocity, substrate composition) and macroinvertebrates at two restoration projects ...

Biofilms, Bugs, and the Built Environment: Exploring Local and Landscape Drivers of Diatom and Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Urban Stormwater Ponds

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
Urban stormwater ponds support pollution‐tolerant diatom and macroinvertebrate assemblages that are shaped more by local water quality, contaminants, and habitat features than by surrounding land use. Integrating biological monitoring can better inform stormwater management and urban biodiversity planning.

Impact of Al-Rasheed Power Plant Effluents on Biodiversity of Benthic Fauna in Tigris River, Southern Baghdad

Ibn Al-Haitham Journal for Pure and Applied Sciences, 2017
  Quantitative and qualitative composition of benthic invertebrate communities was studied during the period from January to December2012 at four stations that were selected on the Tigris River at Baghdad Province. One of the stations S2 located near Al-

Climate Warming Drives Northward Contraction and Genetic erosion in a Cold‐Adapted Soil Worm Species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate‐driven range fluctuations since the Pleistocene have repeatedly reshaped species distributions and population structures, with lasting consequences for genetic diversity. Contemporary warming causes similar pressures, yet most work emphasizes range shifts and gives less attention to genetic outcomes.

Sucessão de invertebrados durante o processo de decomposição de duas plantas aquáticas (Eichhornia azurea e Polygonum ferrugineum) = Succession of invertebrates during the decomposition process of two aquatic plants (Eichhornia azurea and Polygonum ferrugineum)

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2006
A colonização de invertebrados durante o período de 56 dias de decomposição de duas espécies de plantas aquáticas (Eichhornia azurea e Polygonum ferrugineum) foi investigada para determinar o papel de macroinvertebrados no processo de fragmentação da ...

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

Colonisation of leaf litter by aquatic invertebrates in an Atlantic Forest stream

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Riparian vegetation along streams in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil contributes to the formation of a highly heterogeneous leaf litter in streambeds. To investigate the structure and composition of the aquatic invertebrate community during the process of ...

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.
