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.

Macroinvertebrates and water quality: a teaching guide [PDF]
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.

We assessed whether we can combine the advantages of both bulk and eDNA metabarcoding, that is, obtaining a local signal and being minimally invasive, to improve local invertebrate detections in streams using water samples. We quantified eDNA release over time after a short incubation in water for single species using qPCR and for bulk samples using ...

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.

Revealing hidden sources of uncertainty in biodiversity trend assessments
Idiosyncratic decisions during the biodiversity trend assessment process may limit reproducibility, whilst ‘hidden' uncertainty due to collection bias, taxonomic incompleteness, and variable taxonomic resolution may limit the reliability of reported trends.

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
