The Role of the Soundscape in the Behavioral Ecology of Stream-Dwelling Salmonids
Stream salmonids inhabit areas impacted by aerial, terrestrial, and underwater sounds which make up the holo-soundscape. Components of the...
-
Aquatic organic matter decomposition in the terrestrial environments of an intermittent headwater stream
Rivers and their riparian zones are linked by reciprocal subsidies such as leaf fall or the emergence of biphasic aquatic organisms. Transfers of...

Stream macroinvertebrate community responses to an agricultural gradient alter consumer-driven nutrient dynamics
Although macroinvertebrate communities play a key role in the cycling of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in streams, this process may be disrupted...

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...

Biological assessment of Demirci Stream in Gediz River Basin (West Anatolia of Turkey) and comparative performance of benthic macroinvertebrate-based metrics
Conserving freshwaters in West Anatolia requires biomonitoring tools to assess the ecological status of surface water bodies threatened by...

Comparative Performance of the Indices Used for Bioassessment of Water Quality of Sangı Stream (West Anatolia, Turkey)
AbstractThis study has been carried out to determine water quality of Sangı Stream (West Anatolia, Turkey) and to compare the performance of indices...

Effects of relic low-head dams on stream denitrification potential: seasonality and biogeochemical controls
The majority of dams in the contiguous United States are small, low-head dams that are no longer operational but can influence the water quality of...

Stream morphology, water dynamics, and agrochemicals are important drivers of periphyton biomass in subtropical streams
Several factors affect periphyton biomass by acting at local and landscape levels simultaneously. Thereunder, we quantified local and land-use...

Communities of Soil Invertebrates near Iska-Shor Hydrogen Sulfide Springs in the Adak Nature Reserve (Komi Republic)
Abstract—The results are presented of studies on soil invertebrate communities (nematodes, springtails, and large invertebrates) in shore ecosystems...

Evaluation of the Water Quality of the Ilke Stream According to Biotic Indices Based on Benthic Macroinvertebrates (West Anatolia, Turkey)
AbstractBenthic macroinvertebrates can provide an integrated picture of environmental changes. Health of freshwaters can be assessed based on...

Cross-species coprophagy in small stream detritivores counteracts low-quality litter: native versus invasive plant litter
Understanding how stream detritivores can cope with riparian plant invasions is relevant to predict future impacts on detritivore assemblages and the...

A multi-year analysis of factors affecting ecosystem metabolism in forested and meadow reaches of a Piedmont stream
Studies of stream ecosystem metabolism over decades are rare and focused on responses to a single factor, e.g., nutrient reduction or storms....

Application of the biotic indices for water quality and resilience assessment of a disturbed stream (Casablanca, Morocco)
The ecological integrity of the Hassar Stream (suburban of Casablanca city, Morocco) is monitored using aquatic indicators (macroinvertebrates). In...

Stream Macroinvertebrates and Carbon Cycling in Tangled Food Webs
The annual global loss of organic carbon from terrestrial ecosystems into rivers is similar to the organic carbon stored in soils each year....
-
Stream environmental conditions are homogenised outside a protected area, but fungal beta diversity remains unchanged
Matter and energy fluxes and ecosystem services in streams rely on fungi associated with leaf litter. However, the species diversity of this...

Cigarette butt effects on diatom health in a stream ecosystem
Cigarette butts are a prevalent form of litter containing numerous toxic chemicals. Because cigarette butts are frequently deposited on the ground...
-
Do legacy effects of deposited fine sediment influence the ecological response of drifting invertebrates to a fine sediment pulse?
The deposition of excess fine sediment and clogging of benthic substrates is recognised as a global threat to ecosystem functioning and community...
-
Evaluating the impact of Permethrin on non-target invertebrates in an urban stream
Insecticides are broadly applied in many urban areas of the western United States to control mosquito populations and reduce the prevalence of...

Invertebrates in small shallow lakes and ponds: a new sampling method to study the influence of environmental factors on their communities
Small shallow lakes (SSL) are reservoirs of biodiversity and provide numerous ecosystem services. Therefore, tools to easily and rapidly assess the...

Response of stream ecosystem structure to heavy metal pollution: context-dependency of top-down control by fish
The stress-gradient hypothesis predicts that biotic interactions within food webs are context dependent, since environmental stressors can attenuate...
