Facilitation of benthic assemblages by Bluehead Chubs: Testing the stress‐gradient hypothesis in streams

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Ecosystem engineers facilitate beneficiary species by ameliorating physical habitat. The stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts the importance of facilitation in communities should increase with physical stress but has rarely been tested in freshwater.

The effects of land‐use change on semi‐aquatic bugs (Gerromorpha, Hemiptera) in rainforest streams in Sabah, Malaysia

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 556-572, April 2024.
Abstract Land‐use change and agricultural expansion have caused marked biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia, but impacts on freshwater communities have been very little studied. Semi‐aquatic bugs are abundant in streams, provide prey for many other animals, and are sensitive to environmental change, making them a relevant group for studying land‐use ...

Effects of river regulation on aquatic invertebrate community composition: A comparative analysis in two southern African rivers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
This study compared aquatic invertebrate communities between a regulated and unregulated river and sought to determine whether the largest inland lake of the region, which receives water from both rivers, resembles the aquatic invertebrate communities of either river.

Conservation implications of isotopic variation in nails and blood with wetland quality in three species of Australian freshwater turtle

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Australian freshwater turtles are declining, reflecting global turtle trends. Understanding variation in turtle diets and habitat requirements can guide protection and restoration of ecosystems. Diet and niche overlap were investigated in three co‐existing species of turtle—the broad‐shelled turtle Chelodina expansa, the eastern long‐necked ...

Longitudinal patterns in an Arkansas River Valley stream: an Application of the River Continuum Concept [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The River Continuum Concept (RCC) provides the framework for studying how lotic ecosystems vary from headwater streams to large rivers. The RCC was developed in streams in eastern deciduous forests of North America, but watershed characteristics and land
