A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 696-715, December 2024.Abstract Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass. However, published body weight data are limited to few taxa in a limited number of systems. Here we present mean individual weights for common

True metabolizable energy of foods consumed by lesser scaup (Aythya affinis)
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 4, December 2024.Estimating true metabolizable energy (TME) of available foods has become a common way for resource managers to increase reliability in energetic carrying capacity estimates and precision of management actions. We estimated nitrogen adjusted TME of five common foods of lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) by conducting feeding trials with wild birds.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 1672-1685, November 2024.Abstract Invasive zebra and quagga (dreissenid) mussels have disrupted nutrient cycling and benthic macrofauna communities in the Laurentian Great Lakes and other invaded ecosystems. Dreissenids are now the dominant benthic macroinvertebrate in the Great Lakes, replacing the formerly dominant native bioturbating amphipod Diporeia spp.

Salamander loss alters montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure through top‐down effects
Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 722-735, October 2024.Salamanders are seriously declining worldwide and, despite being important predators in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, their effects on freshwater ecosystems are virtually unknown. We demonstrated that salamander loss could alter montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure by reducing periphyton accrual, altering algal communities ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.ABSTRACT Understanding how invasive species affect the stability and function of ecosystems is critical for conservation. Here, we quantified the effect of an actively suppressed invasive species on the Yellowstone Lake ecosystem using a food web energetics approach.

Optimizing eDNA Replication for Standardized Application in Lotic Systems in Aotearoa, New Zealand
Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 5, September–October 2024.The objective of this study was to optimize eDNA sample replication for the consistent characterization of freshwater fish and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in flowing New Zealand waters, and ultimately, to inform the development of robust national monitoring standards. Results indicated that six replicates were needed to consistently detect 89.
