The impacts of experimental discharge reduction on fish and invertebrate communities in a groundwater-dependent trout stream
Groundwater withdrawal has increased on multiple continents which poses risks for groundwater-dependent ecosystems. Few studies have simultaneously...
-
Regional impacts of warming on biodiversity and biomass in high latitude stream ecosystems across the Northern Hemisphere
Warming can have profound impacts on ecological communities. However, explorations of how differences in biogeography and productivity might reshape...
-
Canopy development influences early successional stream ecosystem function but not biotic assemblages
Determining how streams develop naturally, particularly the ecological role of newly developed riparian canopy cover, is essential to understanding...
-
A suction pump sampler for invertebrate drift detects exceptionally high concentrations of small invertebrates that drift nets miss
Invertebrate drift is a key process in riverine ecosystems controlling aquatic invertebrate distribution and availability to fish as prey. However,...

Effects of incomplete sampling on macroinvertebrate secondary production estimates in a forested headwater stream
Estimates of secondary production depend on the efficiency of sampling methods in capturing abundances and body lengths of the entire...

Native amphibian toxin reduces invasive crayfish feeding with potential benefits to stream biodiversity
BackgroundBiodiversity is generally reduced when non-native species invade an ecosystem. Invasive crayfish, Procambarus clarkii , populate California...

Assessing a standardized method to identify optimal baselines for trophic position estimation in stable isotope studies of stream ecosystems
Nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ 15 N) are widely used to quantify trophic position in aquatic ecosystems. Comparing trophic position across space...

Habitat use by white-spotted charr in a stream reach with sequential low-head dams in the Daiya River, central Japan
In recent years, the population of white-spotted charr ( Salvelinus leucomaenis ) has been declining in the upper reaches of the Daiya River, Nikko...

Riparian detritus vs. stream detritus: food quality determines fitness of juveniles of the highly endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera)
Detritus is an important energy source of stream food webs. Being a mix of allochthonous and autochthonous sources, it is often unknown, which...

Potential of Utilizing Allochthonous Invertebrates by Gammarus koreanus Uéno (Amphipoda)
AbstractIn an isolating experiment on feeding only on arthropods of terrestrial origin, the potential of their consumption by amphipods from a...

Coastal freshwater stream fish fauna from a threatened estuarine lagoon complex in northeastern Brazil
Freshwater ecosystems play a vital role in sustaining human populations; however, these environments are increasingly subject to human interference,...

Use of stable isotopes to document lake to stream movements of brook charr Salvelinus fontinalis: a case study from southern Lake Superior
Migrations between spawning, growth and refuge habitats are critical for many fish species. Partially migratory populations of brook charr Salvelinus...

Determination of water quality profile of an urban stream in Gediz River Basin (West Anatolia, Türkiye) and comparative analysis of biotic indices
This study was carried out to determine water quality of the Kum Stream and to compare the performance of the Saprobe Index (SI), several...

Canopy cover influences food resources for stream grazers and filter feeders on a reach scale
Food webs in ecosystems are mainly considered on a large spatial scale, but in forest streams, canopy cover in riparian forests might shape the food...
-
Identifying Stream Invertebrates as Plant Litter Consumers
Many stream invertebrates consume substantial amounts of plant litter at some time during their life cycle and thus play a key role in plant litter...

Advancing potential of diatom indicators for stream and lake water quality assessment against nutrient-induced pollution
Algae have a long history of use in indicating ecological condition of streams and lakes. Various algae-based indicators have been developed and used...

The significance of riparian communities in the energy flow of subtropical stream ecosystems
There is a frequent energy flow connection between streams and riparian zones. However, riparian communities have been limited in studies of stream...

Exploring macroinvertebrate biodiversity in the dynamic southern Balkan stream network of the Vjosa using preservative-based DNA metabarcoding
Reliable biodiversity data are crucial for environmental research and management. Unfortunately, data paucity prevails for many regions and...
