Mercury levels in sediment, fish and macroinvertebrates of the Boroo River, northern Mongolia, under the legacy of gold mining

Gold mining is currently one of the main anthropogenic sources of mercury in the environment. In this study, the total mercury content was measured in bottom sediments, benthic macroinvertebrates (mayfly larva...

Riparian hunting spiders do not rely on aquatic subsidies from intermittent alpine streams

Drying in alpine streams might decrease aquatic-terrestrial trophic linkages by reducing terrestrial predation on aquatic prey. We tested this hypothesis by investigating whether a common riparian predator (hu...

Changes in macroinvertebrate trophic structure along a land-use gradient within a lowland stream network

Running waters are among the most threatened ecosystems globally, having altered hydrological regimes, homogenized habitat, and impaired water quality. These multiple stressors impact aquatic biodiversity and ...

Spatio-temporal relationships between habitat types and microbial function of an upland floodplain

Natural floodplains comprise a spatial mosaic of habitat types that vary in successional development. The physical–chemical properties of soils and sediments in these habitats vary spatio-temporally with chang...

Shifts in isotopic signatures of animals with complex life-cycles can complicate conclusions on cross-boundary trophic links

Stable isotopes (¹³C and ¹⁵N) are widely applied in studies of trophic links. We used this method to investigate the contribution of aquatic and terrestrial prey to the diet of riparian predatory arthropods in tw...

Spatial patterns in macroinvertebrate assemblages in surface-flowing waters of a glacially-influenced floodplain

We examined the spatial structure of macroinvertebrate assemblages in surface-flowing waters of a glacially-influenced floodplain. The floodplain main-channel responded longitudinally to changes in hydrology w...

Invertebrate and microbial responses to inundation in an ephemeral river reach in New Zealand: effects of preceding dry periods

Inundation marks the shift from a terrestrial ecosystem to an aquatic ecosystem in ephemeral rivers. The forms and rates of responses by aquatic invertebrates and sediment microbes to inundation depend on desi...

Macroinvertebrate diversity in fragmented Alpine streams: implications for freshwater conservation

Lakes and reservoirs disrupt the longitudinal connectivity of streams, considerably affecting benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages and diversity. Changes in assemblage composition within fragments can result ...

Benthic diatoms of an Alpine stream/lake network in Switzerland

We compared the benthic diatom composition of lakes, and lake inlet and outlet streams in a high elevation catchment (∼2600 m a.s.l.) in the Swiss Alps. The catchment consisted of a southern basin mostly fed b...

Longitudinal effects of experimental floods on stream benthos downstream from a large dam

We examined the longitudinal effects of 3 experimental floods on seston, periphyton, and macroinvertebrates in a regulated river downstream from a large reservoir in the Swiss Alps. In addition, suspended orga...

Effects of a multi-year experimental flood regime on macroinvertebrates downstream of a reservoir

We examined the response of stream macroinvertebrates to a multiple-year experimental flood regime downstream of a large reservoir. Benthic samples were collected from the River Spöl prior to the initial flood...
