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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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

Modeling nature‐based restoration potential across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries
Abstract Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact in restoring biodiversity and

Where Do You Fly From? Assessing Aerial Dispersal in Temporary Rivers Using Stable Isotopes
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a crucial ecological process that facilitates gene flow and species exchange within ecosystems. In temporary rivers (TRs), dispersal is a key driver of community assembly because it determines the ability of the organisms to adapt to seasonal drying and maintain stable populations.
