Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 21, Page 14988-15003, November 2021., 2021 This paper proves that it is feasible to build artificial ecological islands in open water to increase the microhabitat heterogeneity and water‐level gradient as a means of ecological restoration, so as to provide more suitable habitats for aquatic organisms and thus increase the biological diversity of the ecosystem. Macrobenthos are the main food for

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 614-640, September 2020., 2020 Abstract Clitellata is a major clade of Annelida comprising nearly all freshwater and terrestrial annelids as well as several marine species. We investigated clitellate phylogenetic relationships using transcriptomes sampled from 74 taxa (64 clitellates and 10 polychaetes), including multiple representatives of nearly all major clitellate higher taxa ...
