Development of a flow‐sensitive macroinvertebrate index for Australian rivers

River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 846-862, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Hydrologically sensitive macroinvertebrate indices have been developed in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand to serve many purposes such as monitoring ecological responses to drought, flow regulation, water extraction and the provision of environmental flows.

Chironomid‐inferred summer temperature development during the late Rissian glacial, Eemian interglacial and earliest Würmian glacial at Füramoos, southern Germany

Boreas, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 496-516, April 2022., 2022
We present a new chironomid record from southern Germany that covers the mid‐Eemian to the end of the first Würmian stadial (roughly 125‐105 ka) and also parts of the late Rissian glaciation and early Brörup interstadial of the early Würmian glaciation.

Hydroclimate Variability Affects Habitat‐Specific (Open Water and Littoral) Lake Metabolism

Water Resources Research, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Lakes integrate the signals of changing hydroclimate in their surrounding basin, which substantially influence gross primary production (GPP), respiration (R), and net ecosystem production (NEP). Most research focuses only on the changes to the open water habitat despite the littoral habitat's importance to lakes and its sensitivity to ...

Comparative study of larval head structures of Megaloptera (Hexapoda)

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
External and internal head structures of the larva of Neohermes are described in detail. The results are compared to conditions found in other representatives of Corydalidae, in Sialidae, and in Raphidioptera and Neuroptera.

A review of the alderfly genus Leptosialis Esben-Petersen (Megaloptera, Sialidae) with description of a new species from South Africa

ZooKeys, 2012
The monotypic South African alderfly genus Leptosialis Esben-Petersen, 1920 is reviewed and Leptosialis africana Esben-Petersen, 1920 is redescribed. In the process a new species of alderfly Leptosialis necopinata sp. n. from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-

A new genus of alderflies (Megaloptera: Sialidae) in Upper Cretaceous Burmese amber [PDF]

Cretaceous Research, 2016
A new genus and species of Mesozoic alderfly is described as Haplosialodes liui gen. et sp. nov., and from an adult male preserved in Cretaceous Burmese amber. The new genus is closely related to the genera Haplosialis Navás (Recent fauna of Madagascar), Indosialis Lestage (Recent fauna of Southeast Asia), and Eosialis Nel et al.

Experimental droughts in mesocosms reveal a gradient of tolerance in Alpine stream macroinvertebrates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S352-S363, December 2025.
Abstract Prolonged droughts, driven by climate change and human pressures on water resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity, particularly impacting Alpine rivers. Benthic macroinvertebrates are one of the most important structural and functional components of Alpine lotic ecosystems.

Agricultural pond restoration enhances species richness in non‐biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae)

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, September 2025.
Agricultural ponds are biodiversity hotspots, especially when restored to open‐canopy conditions. Studies comparing pre‐ and post‐restoration pond diversity are rare, however, and have widely focused on “easy‐to‐identify” taxa. Chironomids have so far been neglected in pond restoration studies, but are a highly speciose group critical to aquatic ...

18S rRNA metabarcoding diet analysis of a predatory fish community across seasonal changes in prey availability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 1410-1430, February 2019., 2019
Predator–prey relationships are important ecological interactions, affecting biotic community composition and energy flow through a system. This study used sequences from the 18S V9 rRNA barcoding region to identify prey items in the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts of predators taken from the Black River, Cheboygan Co., MI (n = 367 samples, 12 predator ...
