Temporal niche dynamics of spreading native invertebrates underlie doubling of richness in pristine temperate streams [PDF]
Expanding native species of river macroinvertebrates mainly retained their original niches, with little evidence of niche shifts over the last 25 years. This suggests that species richness in pristine rivers increases due to enhanced ecosystem energy flow, relaxing interspecific competition and allowing it to carry more individuals and species ...

Targeted eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals New Populations of a Range‐Limited Stonefly [PDF]
We developed new species‐specific eDNA primers to detect Zelandoperla maungatuaensis, a rare, flightless insect restricted to a 4‐km stretch of the Maungatua range (South Island, New Zealand). eDNA metabarcoding confirmed that Z. maungatuaensis has a very narrow geographic range and revealed two previously unknown populations. Subsequent manual surveys

Additions and Corrections to the Stoneflies (Plecoptera) of Iowa, U.S.A. [PDF]
(exerpt) Until recently, Iowa’s stonefly fauna was poorly documented. Heimdal et al. (2004) published a comprehensive report on stonefly distributions within the state, reporting seven families and 43 species. Five species, Allocapnia pygmaea (Burmeister)

Sperm models in European Plecoptera
Systematic issues regarding Plecoptera are still debated, and the molecular data seem to be unable to definitively clarify the relationships within the order. Spermatozoa are under constant evolutionary pressure, and comparative spermatology can be useful in carrying systematic and phylogenetic information.

Life Cycle of \u3ci\u3eIsoperla Lata\u3c/i\u3e (Plecoptera: Perlodidae) in a Central Wisconsin Trout Stream [PDF]
Monthly qualitative samples of Isoperla lata Frison were made from January 1992 to June 1993 in Ripley Creek, a small second order trout stream in Lincoln County Wisconsin. Additional collecting and an in-stream hatching experiment were conducted in 1994.
