Differences in Larval Microhabitat Between Two Cryptic, Sympatric Salamander Species (Desmognathus folkertsi and D. amphileucus) in Northeastern Georgia, USA [PDF]
AnimalsSympatric species often exhibit habitat differences that promote coexistence. Two cryptic, sympatric salamander species, Desmognathus folkertsi and D. amphileucus, occupy streams across the Appalachian Mountains of northeastern Georgia, USA.

Winter dynamics of functional diversity and redundancy of riffle and pool macroinvertebrates after defoliation in a temperate forest stream [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Headwater streams are highly heterogenous and characterized by a sequence of riffles and pools, which are identified as distinct habitats. That higher species richness and density in riffles than in pools is considered a general pattern for ...

Discussion on the change rule of different characteristic parameters with depth in expansion soil graben slopes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsExpansive soil due to wet expansion and dry contraction of engineering properties, resulting in the stability of the riffle slope, has been one of the key issues in the expansion of soil area earthworks; this paper, through the three representative ...

Riffle shuffles with biased cuts [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2012 The well-known Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds model for riffle shuffles assumes that the cards are initially cut `about in half' and then riffled together. We analyze a natural variant where the initial cut is biased. Extending results of Fulman (1998), we show a

The genome sequence of a riffle beetle, Elmis aenea (Müller, 1806) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Elmis aenea (a riffle beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Elmidae). The genome sequence is 516.5 megabases in span.

New distributional records of rare riffle beetles (Coleoptera: Elmidae) from the Balkan Peninsula [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2020 We present new data on rare riffle beetle findings (Coleoptera: Elmidae) from the Balkan Peninsula. Larvae and adult elmid beetles were collected during 2007-2018.

Considering mesohabitat scale in ecological impact assessment of sediment flushing
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2022 Benthic macroinvertebrates respond to several factors characterizing the physical habitats, as water depth, current and streambed substrate. Thus, anthropogenic disturbances altering these factors may have different effects on benthos, also depending on ...

Determinantal formula for generalized riffle shuffle [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics, 2021 We consider a generalized riffle shuffle on the colored permutation group $G_{p, n}$ and derive a determinantal formula for the probability of finding descents at given positions, proof of which is based on the bijection between the set of shuffles in question and that of non-intersecting lattice paths.

Coupling between downstream variations of channel width and local pool–riffle bed topography [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2023 A potential control of downstream channel width variations on the structure and planform of pool–riffle sequence local bed topography is a key to the dynamics of gravel bed rivers.
