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.

Evaluación de la calidad de las aguas del estero Limache (Chile central), mediante bioindicadores y bioensayos Water quality assessment in the Limache stream (central Chile), using bioindicators and bioassays

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2009
Se evaluó la calidad de las aguas del estero Limache en cinco estaciones de muestreo en el período de bajo caudal. En cada estación se colectaron macroinvertebrados acuáticos, se midió in situ pH, conductividad, oxígeno disuelto, y sólidos disueltos ...

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

Seasonal changes in the feeding habit of Isfahan Chub (Petroleuciscus esfahani) and Brond Snout (Chondrostoma regium) in Zayandehroud River [PDF]

بوم‌شناسی آبزیان
In this study, seasonal changes in the diet of Petroleuciscus esfahani and Chondrostoma regium were investigated by collecting 200 samples of each species seasonally in 2013 from the Zayanndehroud River.

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Dynamic of epigeous macrofauna under organic soil management in the Brazilian semi-arid region
Dinâmica da macrofauna epígea sob manejo orgânico do solo no semi-árido brasileiro

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2012
Soil macrofauna is responsible for soil fertility through cycling of nutrients, tillage and fragmentation of organic matter, as well as through the association between groups of fauna with conserved and/or degraded pedoenvironments.

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

Trophic ecology of the freshwater prawn, Pseudopalaemon bouvieri (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) in Northeastern Argentina: with remarks on population structure

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
Freshwater decapod crustaceans are important components of food webs in these environments, but little is known about the diet of species that live in tropical waters. We studied the feeding ecology of the prawn Pseudopalaemon bouvieri and its population

A Systematic Review of Biofloc Technology and Periphyton in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) Aquaculture

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.

Periphyton and Benthic Macroinvertebrate Response to Antimycin Piscicide During Brook Trout Restoration

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The piscicide antimycin has been used as an effective fish toxicant to eradicate nuisance fishes because it is not as detectable by fish as other chemical piscicides. We evaluated the effects of antimycin and its detoxicant, potassium permanganate, on periphyton and benthic macroinvertebrates during a brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis ...
