Astronotus ocellatus (Cichlidae: Pisces) and Macropodus opercularis (Anabatidae: Pisces) as predators of immature Aedes fluviatilis (Diptera: Culicidae) and Biomphalaria glabrata (Mollusca: Planorbidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1991
Two fish species, Astronotus ocellatus (Cichlidae) and Macropodus opercularis (Anabatidae) were tested for predacious behavior toward immature mosquitoes (Aedes fluviatili9s, Diptera: Culicidae) and schistosomiasis snail hosts (Biomphalaria glabrata ...

Structure and composition of the benthic macroinvertebrate community on wetland and irrigated rice cultivation. [PDF]

, 2014
Wetlands are environmentally and economically important ecosystems. The irrigated rice crops are considered artificial wetlands, because they offer food and refuge to different aquatic communities.

The Nature of Oceanic Dispersal in the Diversification Process on Insular Systems in Asia

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To clarify the characteristics and contribution of oceanic dispersal (OD), a representative of long‐distance dispersal, to phylogenetic diversification on insular systems. Location Eastern Eurasia. Time Period Post‐Neogene. Major Taxa Studied Freshwater snails of the genus Gyraulus (Mollusca: Gastropoda). Methods We conducted comprehensive

Investigating the Effects of Flow Regulation Combining Stream Geomorphology With Macroinvertebrate Ecology: A Case Study in the Orobic Alps (Italy)

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 5, July‐August 2025.
ABSTRACT Mountain streams exhibit hydrogeomorphological heterogeneity, which is further intensified by the presence of hydraulic infrastructure. Despite extensive research on the influence of hydrological conditions and flow regulation on ecology, there is a notable absence of holistic studies investigating stream dynamics from both geomorphologic and ...

Local environment and sampling bias drive parasite prevalence estimates in freshwater fish communities

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Parasite occurrence and infection estimates vary through time and space, making understanding the underlying drivers highly complex. Comparative studies based on empirical data must consider the factors of variation involved in estimating infection metrics in natural populations to make appropriate and reliable comparisons. Using a multi‐scale approach,

Unexpected Shifts in Bivalve Function From Filtration to Transmission Risk

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the complex interactions between filter‐feeding species and zoonotic disease transmission in aquatic environments is crucial for accurately quantifying the ecosystem services provided by these organisms. This study explores for the first time the roles of freshwater bivalves in the transmission dynamics of emerging zoonotic ...

Revealing hidden sources of uncertainty in biodiversity trend assessments

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
Idiosyncratic decisions during the biodiversity trend assessment process may limit reproducibility, whilst ‘hidden' uncertainty due to collection bias, taxonomic incompleteness, and variable taxonomic resolution may limit the reliability of reported trends.

Stream Invertebrate Responses to Fine Sediment Depend on the Organic and Inorganic Components

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Excess fine sediment ( < 2 mm) is a pervasive stressor of aquatic systems at a global scale. To date, most research quantifying ecological response to deposited fine sediment has been conducted without distinguishing between the organic and inorganic components of fine sediment, leaving mechanistic understanding of how fine sediment affects ...
