Abstract Predicted increases in stream temperature are expected to accelerate organic matter decomposition in rivers. In detrital stream food webs, carbon use efficiency (CUE)—the proportion of consumed carbon (C) retained as biomass—determines whether C is stored in organisms or rapidly lost as CO2.

Faunistical results of the Trichoptera investigations carried out in the frames of the ecological survey of the surface waters of Hungary (ECOSURV) in 2005 [PDF]
In 2005 caddisfly larvae were collected at 317 sites in Hungary. 88 caddisfly species belonging 15 families were identified (3 Rhyacophilidae, 3 Glossosomatidae, 1 Philopotamidae, 11 Hydropsychidae, 9 Polycentropodidae, 3 Psychomyidae, 1 Ecnomidae, 3 ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Effect of riverbed morphology, stream order and season on the structural and functional attributes of caddisfly assemblages (Insecta: Trichoptera) [PDF]
We tested the individual and joint effects of stream order, riverbed morphology (i.e. pool-riffle sequence), and season on the structural (i.e. species composition, density and richness) and functional (i.e.

ABSTRACT Various anthropogenic disturbances affect the succession of aquatic habitats along dendritic river networks. Bioindicator taxa, such as fish, can be used to assess the effects of these disturbances on habitat quality. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a novel approach to complement traditional sampling and analysis of bioindicator ...

Comparison of species richness of light trap-collected caddisfly assemblages (Insecta: Trichoptera) using rarefaction [PDF]
ConselVation value of light trap-collected caddisfly assemblages(Insecta: Trichoptera) was evaluated on the basis of their species richness. The assemblage coming from an artificial stream showed a higher conservation value based on species richness than

Methane‐Derived Carbon Contributes to Fish Biomass in a Deep, Eutrophic Reservoir
ABSTRACT Methanotrophic bacteria oxidise large amounts of biogenic methane produced in freshwater and bind the original methane carbon in their biomass. When these bacteria are consumed by other organisms, methane‐derived carbon enters food webs. Methane‐derived carbon can support a substantial part of invertebrate biomass in some freshwater ecosystems.

A curious case: caddisfly cases built from brick and sewage overflow microplastics
Caddisflies larvae have been constructing cases made from vegetation or sediment grains for millions of years, but in the Anthropocene many alternative building materials have become available for caddisfly larvae.
