Targeted eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals New Populations of a Range‐Limited Stonefly
We developed new species‐specific eDNA primers to detect Zelandoperla maungatuaensis, a rare, flightless insect restricted to a 4‐km stretch of the Maungatua range (South Island, New Zealand). eDNA metabarcoding confirmed that Z. maungatuaensis has a very narrow geographic range and revealed two previously unknown populations. Subsequent manual surveys

Executive Summary: Based on just over 12,000 records for the island of Ireland, the 20 species of stonefly (Plecoptera) on the Irish checklist were evaluated against the Red List criteria produced by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This is the first time the threat status of the Irish Plecoptera has been assessed.

Retention forestry is widely considered a promising approach to conserve forest biodiversity, and beneficial effects of more heterogeneous forest structure have been shown for several taxa. However, it is often unclear if the approaches taken locally can provide connectivity for specimens over the landscape or if they lead to “biodiversity islands ...

Removal of DDT from Aqueous solution using Carbon Quantum Dots. ABSTRACT Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) pollution is an ongoing worldwide environmental hazard due to its persistence and detrimental impact on ecosystems. Carbon quantum dots (CQD) made from dried mushroom biomass using a sustainable and eco‐friendly synthesis process are ...

Surface Tension dominates Insect Flight on Fluid Interfaces
Flight on the two-dimensional air-water interface, with body weight supported by surface tension, is a unique locomotion strategy well adapted for the environmental niche on the surface of water.

The Stoneflies, or Plecoptera, of Illinois
The present paper, then, is a summary of our stonefly studies which have been more or less continuous since 1926. For completeness this report has not been limited to the spring and summer forms but includes an entire survey of the plecopteran fauna of Illinois, which makes it possible to present a classification unrestricted by the seasonal ...

Calcium carbonate and phosphorus interactions in inland waters
Abstract Phosphorus, an element essential to all life, is impacted by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) co‐precipitation and dissolution dynamics across aquatic ecosystems. Changes to climate, hydrology, and eutrophication, coupled with differences in terminology related to naming CaCO3‐producing ecosystems (i.e., chalk, carbonate, karst, travertine), point to

Differences in Thermal Tolerance Between Two Thermally Isolated and Genetically Indistinct Populations of \u3ci\u3eParagnetina Media\u3c/i\u3e (Walker) (Plecoptera: Perlodidae) [PDF]
The critical thermal maximum (CTM) of Paragnetina media (Walker) (Plecoptera: Perlodidae) was studied at two sites of the Big Sable River in northwestern Lower Michigan during summer 2013. The sites were separated by ~8 km and differed in temperature by ~
