Effects of inter- and intraspecific competition and food availability on shredder invertebrates from an Amazonian stream
Shredders play an important role in leaf decomposition in headwater streams; however, their activities can be affected by irregular leaf...

Impact of light pollution on aquatic invertebrates: Behavioral responses and ecological consequences
AbstractArtificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing global problem altering the behavior of organisms and thereby community composition and...

Disentangling responses of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates to drying in saline streams and shallow lakes
In inland aquatic ecosystems, drying and salinity can co-occur as natural stressors, affecting aquatic invertebrate communities. Despite recent...

Stream Ecosystems
Many of us have spent time around and in streams and rivers but perhaps have not given much thought to the ecology and natural history of these...

Determinants of Productive Capacity for Stream Salmonids
Trout growth and production are controlled by (1) the area and quality of habitat for sequential life history stages, (2) the availability and...

Do Methodological Differences in Experiments with Stream Shredders Imply Variability in Outputs? A Microcosm Approach
Experiments are useful scientific tools for testing hypotheses by manipulating variables of interest while controlling for other factors that can...

Trophic Flexibility of Stream-Dwelling Salmonids: Disentangling Common Ontogenetic and Seasonal Patterns
This review synthesises the literature on ontogenetic and seasonal changes in feeding patterns of nine genera of the family Salmonidae (Coregonus,...

Changes in functional diversity of aquatic invertebrates across urbanization levels in a coastal island, Brazil
As the world becomes more urbanized, multiple stressors act in complex ways, but their effects remain poorly studied in coastal island streams. Due...

Reciprocal stream–riparian fluxes: effects of distinct exposure patterns on litter decomposition
Resource fluxes at the stream–riparian interface are a vital contributor to both systems’ energy budgets. The effect of distinct litter exposure...

Combined effect of stream drying and nutrient enrichment on macroinvertebrate community: experimental study from artificial stream mesocosms
Ongoing climate change and rising water demands are resulting in the increasingly frequent occurrence of stream drying, particularly in smaller...

Diet of the otter Lutra lutra inhabiting a forest stream in SW Poland
Diet of the otter inhabiting a forest stream in SW Poland was studied in order to show the impact of the otter on fish and other aquatic animals. The...
