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.

South American Stoneflies (Plecoptera)
Urban streams have been the focus of much research in recent years, but many questions about the mechanisms driving the urban stream syndrome remain unanswered. Identification of key research questions is an important step toward effective, efficient management of urban streams to meet societal goals.

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.

Under Pressure: Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to Agriculture in Temporary Streams
ABSTRACT Temporary streams dominate global river networks and thus often occur in catchments dominated by agricultural land uses. Drying and agriculture can exert similar stressors on aquatic communities, for example, by decreasing dissolved oxygen concentrations and increasing fine sediment deposition.

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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
