Temporal niche dynamics of spreading native invertebrates underlie doubling of richness in pristine temperate streams

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 693-705, April 2025.
Expanding native species of river macroinvertebrates mainly retained their original niches, with little evidence of niche shifts over the last 25 years. This suggests that species richness in pristine rivers increases due to enhanced ecosystem energy flow, relaxing interspecific competition and allowing it to carry more individuals and species ...

Freshwater Macroinvertebrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to sample, identify, and count macroinvertebrates at a Hydrology Site. Students collect, sort, identify, and count macroinvertebrates from habitats at their site.

A Scientometric Approach to the Taxonomy of Brazilian Plecoptera: An Overview of Data [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Entomologia
The order Plecoptera comprises nearly 4,400 species of freshwater insects known for their specific temperature requirements. In Brazil, there are 207 valid extant species, with 172 (83%) being endemic, and particularly the genus Anacroneuria is well ...

Disturbance drives concordant functional biodiversity shifts across regions: new evidence from river eDNA

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 4, April 2025.
Major disturbance events can profoundly influence biodiversity patterns, although the extent to which such shifts are predictable remains poorly understood. We used environmental DNA (eDNA) to compare forested versus recently deforested stream insect communities across disjunct regions of New Zealand, to test for parallel shifts in response to ...

Ecology of the regulated river Storelva in western Norway 50 years after regulation

open access: yesFauna Norvegica, 1985
The river Storelva, situated in Sauda, Rogaland in western Norway has been regulated for hydroelectric power since 1914 and about 80% of the water-flow is transferred through tunnels to the various power stations and then to the fjord.

A Landscape Genetics Approach Reveals Species‐Specific Connectivity Patterns for Stream Insects in Fragmented Habitats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
We conducted a landscape genetics study using mtDNA and SNP markers to examine the connectivity and dispersal of three stream insect species, Coloburiscus humeralis, Zelandobius confusus and Hydropsyche fimbriata, in a fragmented, pasture‐dominated landscape on the North Island of New Zealand.

Macroinvertebrates and water quality: a teaching guide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Streams support a diverse community of plants and animals on or in the stream bed. These organisms comprise the benthos. Among the benthos are worms, molluscs, crustaceans, and larval insects.

Functional macroinvertebrate diversity stabilizes decomposition among leaf litter resources across a river network

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity underpins the functional integrity of ecosystems. At present, our understanding of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) is essentially based on manipulative experiments. Compelling data at large spatial scales are scarce, especially for river networks.

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.
