Ecological indicators for qualitative assessment of Ojarud River: A case study. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
The results of this study exposed a sizable alteration in the diversity and abundance of macro‐invertebrate from the sensitive families to resistant and tolerant taxa under the contamination stress resulting from the point source pollution in the Ojarud River.

Effects of short-term exposure to Pomacea canaliculata secretions on Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and Propsilocerus akamusi: A study based on behavior, intestinal microbiota, and antioxidant system. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Pomacea canaliculata affected bioturbators' behavior, antioxidant system, and gut microbiota; Secretions changed the intestinal microbiota community structure of bioturbators; Limnodrilus hoffmeister is a more sensitive bioturbator to the invasion of P. canaliculata.

Effect of Pomacea canaliculata on Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri: Behavior, Oxidative Stress, and Microbiota Alterations. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Behavior pattern changes of L. hoffmeisteri exposed to non‐free Pomacea canaliculata (PC) were found PC caused oxidative stress in L. hoffmeisteri PC changed the intestinal microbiota community structure of L. hoffmeisteri Aeromonas from the intestinal tract of P. canaliculata (As) had similar effects. As is the main stress source.

COVID-19 Lockdown Pandemic Period Effects in Highly Impacted Aquatic Ecosystems. [PDF]

Environ Toxicol Chem, 2023
Abstract Human activities severely affect aquatic ecosystems: the lockdown restrictions due to SARS‐CoV‐2 (COVID‐19) have proved that reducing anthropogenic activities can positively influence the environment and mitigate atmospheric pollution. In addition, studies on aquatic ecosystems have highlighted the decrease in suspended matter and pollutant ...

Response of macroinvertebrate communities to land use and water quality in Wudalianchi Lake. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Our study indicated that both the independent effects of land use and within‐lake water quality can explain the influence in macroinvertebrate assemblages, with significant interactions between the two. This is rather important to notice that changes in buffer land use generally may alter nutrient inputs and thus severely affect abiotic conditions ...

Determination of the ecological water quality in the Orienco stream using benthic macroinvertebrates in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 615-625, May 2023., 2023
Abstract In recent years, pollution of watercourses in nearby protected ecosystems has increased due to urbanization. Standard physiochemical methods and probes are one way to monitor watercourses for quality. However, they often do not provide the full ecological status of the body of water.

Declines in prey production during the collapse of a tailwater Rainbow Trout population are associated with changing reservoir conditions

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, Volume 152, Issue 1, Page 35-50, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Understanding how energy moves through food webs and limits productivity at various trophic levels is a central question in aquatic ecology and can provide insight into drivers of fish population dynamics since many fish populations are food limited.

Freshwater macroinvertebrate traits assessment as complementary to taxonomic information for mining impact detection in the northern Peruvian Andes

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 1582-1596, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim We studied the distribution of freshwater macroinvertebrate taxa and traits to distinguish ecological gradients among the mining‐controlled and natural headwaters, and rural and urban economic activity influences. Location In 2016’s dry season, macroinvertebrate samples were collected at 40 locations in the Mashcon watershed, northern ...

Impacts of shelter on the relative dominance of primary producers and trophic transfer efficiency in aquatic food webs: Implications for shallow lake restoration

Freshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 1107-1122, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Wind‐induced turbulence can strongly impact ecological processes in shallow lake ecosystems. The creation of shelter against wind can be expected to affect both primary producers and herbivores in aquatic food webs. Shelter may benefit particular primary producers more than others by changing relative resource availabilities for different ...
