Fungal Antagonists and their Effectiveness to Manage the Rice Root-knot Nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola
Meloidogyne graminicola, the rice root-knot nematode (RRKN), is becoming an increasing problem worldwide for rice farming, especially in intensive...

Effects of water salinization and substrata quality on the performance of the shredder Schizopelex festiva (Trichoptera; Sericostomatidae)
Secondary salinization is a growing concern for freshwaters worldwide. The lethal and sub-lethal effects on shredders are known, but not whether...

Exploring the mycobiota of bromeliads phytotelmata in Brazilian Campos Rupestres
The phytotelmata is a water-filled tank on a terrestrial plant, and it plays an important role in bromeliad growth and ecosystem functioning. Even...

Joint effects of warming and salinization on instream leaf litter decomposition assessed through a microcosm experiment
Stream ecosystem functioning is often impaired by warming and salinization, but the joint effect of both environmental stressors on key processes...

Phytotherapy and combined nanoformulations as a promising disease management in aquaculture: a review
AbstractAquaculture-based foods have enriched nutritional and medicinal value to meet the needs of the global population. Recently, improper...

Wildfires alter stream ecosystem functioning through effects on leaf litter
BackgroundWildfires have strong impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, whose frequency, severity, and intensity are increasing with climate...

Salt Modulates Plant Litter Decomposition in Stream Ecosystems
Human activities are altering ion composition and concentrations in streams around the globe. This has implications for aquatic biota and for key...
-
Intra-specific leaf trait variability controls leaf decomposition of Vitis vinifera L. cultivars in streams
The decomposition of leaf litter is a key ecological process in stream ecosystems. Leaf traits, variable across species and within species,...

Decomposition of leaf litter mixtures in streams: effects of component litter species and current velocity
The effects of mixing different leaf litter species on litter decomposition in streams have received considerable attention in recent years. However,...

Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) to Estimate Fungal Diversity
The identification of aquatic hyphomycetes associated with decomposing leaves in streams has been traditionally based on inducing sporulation, but...

Chemistry Matters: High Leaf Litter Consumption Does Not Represent a Direct Increase in Shredders’ Biomass
Changes in riparian vegetation can alter the input and quality of leaf litter in aquatic ecosystems, but the effects of these changes on litter...

Responses of Aquatic Hyphomycetes to Temperature and Nutrient Availability: a Cross-transplantation Experiment
Aquatic hyphomycetes represent a large component of the microbial assemblage that decomposes submerged leaf-litter in fluvial ecosystems. The...

Utilization of basal resources in a forested headwater stream: a combined stable isotope and fatty acid approach
In mountainous areas, forest headwater streams are characterized by a predominantly heterotrophic functioning resulting from massive seasonal...

Techniques for Handling Ingoldian Fungi
Ingoldian fungi or aquatic hyphomycetes are the dominant fungal group colonizing and decomposing leaf litter in streams. Mycelia of these fungi...

When Nutrients Become Contaminants in Aquatic Systems: Identifying Responses to Guide Terrestrial-Derived Detrital Endpoint Development for Managers
This chapter evaluates the case for inclusion of terrestrial-derived detrital endpoints, which are those metrics that describe changes to detrital...
