Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 21, Page 14988-15003, November 2021., 2021 This paper proves that it is feasible to build artificial ecological islands in open water to increase the microhabitat heterogeneity and water‐level gradient as a means of ecological restoration, so as to provide more suitable habitats for aquatic organisms and thus increase the biological diversity of the ecosystem. Macrobenthos are the main food for

Invertebrate zoogeomorphology: A review and conceptual framework for rivers
WIREs Water, Volume 8, Issue 5, September/October 2021., 2021 Invertebrates affect the transport of sediment in rivers but are often overlooked due to their small size. Diverse behaviors result in significant effects on fluvial geomorphology. Abstract Invertebrates are important sediment engineers, making up for their small body size with abundance and behavioral diversity.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 2, Issue 3, July–September 2021., 2021 The Marker Wadden project shows how forward‐looking sustainable development of lake ecosystems using a rewilding approach can enhance natural processes and attract birds and fish, without conflicting with existing ecosystem services. This inspires new directions for halting and reversing the degradation of other vital ecosystems worldwide.

The effect of temperature on the reproduction of Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Oligochaeta: Tubificidae)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009 The tubificid worm Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparede, 1862 is widely used as an indicator of organic pollution in aquatic environments. Nevertheless, little is known about its biology.

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 614-640, September 2020., 2020 Abstract Clitellata is a major clade of Annelida comprising nearly all freshwater and terrestrial annelids as well as several marine species. We investigated clitellate phylogenetic relationships using transcriptomes sampled from 74 taxa (64 clitellates and 10 polychaetes), including multiple representatives of nearly all major clitellate higher taxa ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 14, Page 7431-7444, July 2020., 2020 I believe you will enjoy reviewing this work because our resource polymorphism in Schizopygopsis thermalis results present a good example to understand the important intermediate stages of ecological speciation. Abstract Resource polymorphism is a ubiquitous phenomenon in vertebrates and may represent a critical intermediate stage in speciation ...
