Two new species in the subfamily Perlinae (Plecoptera, Perlidae) from China
Two species in the genera Neoperla and Kamimuria (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from China are described as new: Kamimuria guangxia sp. n., and Neoperla mesostyla sp. n. The new species are compared to similar taxa.

ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are an abundant, yet declining, taxonomically heterogeneous group with special importance in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate estimations of insect biomass during their aquatic life stages are essential to advance our fundamental knowledge about insects, their roles in ecosystems, and their vulnerability to ...

Hyporheic zone (HZ) locates below the riverbed providing habitat for macroinvertebrates from where the winged adult insects (i.e., hyporheic insects, HIs) emerge and bring out aquatic resources to the riparian zone.

Effects of Dry‐Phase Frequency and Duration on Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in an Alpine Stream
ABSTRACT Although temporary streams are a common feature of fluvial networks, the prevalence of flow intermittency of perennial streams, especially in alpine landscapes, has increased with climate change. The fluvial network of the alpine Val Roseg catchment in eastern Switzerland experiences ca. 80% surface flow contraction over an annual cycle.

ABSTRACT River networks are meta‐ecosystems in which resources, such as leaf‐litter, and their consumers are exchanged across riparian and instream ecosystems. Consumers and leaf‐litter quality and decomposition vary depending on riparian land use and instream hydrological conditions, including intermittent drying.

Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera in springs in Trentino (south-eastern Alps)
Within the CRENODAT project (Biodiversity assessment and integrity evaluation of springs of Trentino - Italian Alps - and longterm ecological research, 2004-2008) we studied a total of 90 springs in Trentino (south-eastern Alps, Italy), 75 of which were ...

Species traits may predict extinction risk of Azorean endemic arthropods
Ground‐dwelling endemic arthropods face a higher extinction risk due to habitat degradation and invasive plants. Canopy species may seem less threatened but still face extinction risks from habitat fragmentation. Body size and trophic group did not predict species threat levels.
