The stoneflies (Insecta, Plecoptera) of the Talladega Mountain region, Alabama, USA: distribution, elevation, endemism, and rarity patterns

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2018
Background The Talladega Mountain region of eastern Alabama is the southernmost outlier of the ancient Appalachian Mountains, including the highest peaks and ranges in the state. Collections of stoneflies (Plecoptera) previously here have been sporadic

Fish predation cues induce drifting and emergence in an experimental stream mesocosm system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue S2, Page S364-S376, December 2025.
Abstract Predator–prey interactions are important drivers of adaptation in aquatic communities, shaping the behavior of invertebrates with cascading effects on community dynamics. Behavioral responses, such as moving with the downstream current (drift) or altering the timing of emergence, are strategies that reduce the risk of predator encounters ...

Ohio USA stoneflies (Insecta, Plecoptera): species richness estimation, distribution of functional niche traits, drainage affiliations, and relationships to other states

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
Ohio is an eastern USA state that historically was >70% covered in upland and mixed coniferous forest; about 60% of it glaciated by the Wisconsinan glacial episode. Its stonefly fauna has been studied in piecemeal fashion until now.

Tracking the phenology of riverine insect communities using environmental DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
We assessed if and how environmental DNA can capture the phenology of freshwater insects, iconic and ecologically highly relevant inhabitants of riverine ecosystems. By carrying out monthly eDNA sampling, we could show pronounced cyclic phenological trends in three major insect orders, with the insect communities diverging from spring to summer and ...

Riparian Vegetation and Arthropod Responses to Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration Along the Kalamazoo River, Michigan, USA

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2017-2031, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

The classification and prediction of macroinvertebrate communities in British rivers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
This article describes the progress of the River Communities Project which commenced in 1977. This project aimed to develop a sensitive and practical system for river site classification using macroinvertebrates as an objective means of appraising the ...

Do freshwater insect assemblages in exotic plantations resemble those from native forest? Evidence from environmental DNA

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Widespread deforestation has impacted biodiversity patterns globally, but the potential for forest plantations to restore biodiversity remains unclear. Here we used environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis to compare freshwater insect assemblages between native and exotic forests in New Zealand, a region that has experienced heavy deforestation over recent ...

Biological report - fish mortality, River Conder, 21.7.79 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Following a large scale fish mortality caused by a considerable spillage of a pentachlbrophenol-based disinfectant from a mushroom farm, a biological survey of the river Conder was undertaken on 23.7.79.

Experimental evidence that predator range expansion modifies alpine stream community structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Climate change is projected to facilitate altitudinal range expansions of ‘lowland’ taxa, creating novel species interactions. However, how range shifts will alter biotic interactions and community structure in alpine streams is not well understood.
