The role of the environment and connectivity with large rivers and streams on local fish diversity of tropical headwater streams
The aim of this investigation was to determine whether fish diversity in headwater streams is influenced by environment, connectivity with large...

DOM optical properties reflected land use cover in open-canopy streams
Our study aimed to analyze the effects of land use coverage (agricultural, cattle breeding, natural vegetation, and others) on the concentration and...

Investigating the effects of dreissenid mussel shells in streams post-invasion
The ecological impact of dreissenid mussel (e.g., quagga and zebra) populations and their empty shells on native fauna in large rivers and lakes has...

Riparian wetlands of low-order streams in Brazil: extent, hydrology, vegetation cover, interactions with streams and uplands, and threats
Low-order streams and riparian wetlands are important contributors to the drainage network in the landscape. However, there has been little research...

Ecosystem services provided by small streams: an overview
Small streams constitute the majority of the water courses in a catchment and have specific characteristics that distinguish them from larger streams...

Extreme drought conditions interact with urbanisation, affecting hydrological regimes and water quality in temperate lowland streams
Since 2020, the Pampas ecoregion, a highly productive area of Argentina, has endured its most severe drought in the past century. Our understanding...

The overlooked margins: how cities impact diversity of plants and terrestrial invertebrates along urban streams
The effect of different urbanization levels on terrestrial biodiversity associated with riparian zones remains poorly studied, despite the important...

Trichoptera Life Stages Present Distinct Responses to Environmental Conditions in Amazonian Streams
Biological communities have their biodiversity patterns affected by environmental, spatial, and biogeographic factors that vary from taxa to taxa,...

Mine reclamation does not restore leaf processing in low-order streams
In the United States, mine reclamation has been regulated under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) since 1977; however, there is...

Chironomidae functional traits in Atlantic Forest streams: spatial and temporal patterns
We used Chironomidae functional attributes to assess how spatial and temporal scales influence assemblage structure. We collected Chironomidae larvae...

Reprocessing of side-streams towards obtaining valuable bacterial metabolites
AbstractEvery year, all over the world, the industry generates huge amounts of residues. Side-streams are most often used as feed, landfilled,...

Small Streams and Big Rivers
Big rivers are made up of many small streams and, if some of these act in concert, they can have a measurable impact on the big river....

Aquatic hyphomycetes and litter decomposition in tropical streams: insights from the first study in Guadeloupe
Aquatic hyphomycetes are key organisms that perform the decomposition of plant organic matter in streams. They are strongly influenced by nitrogen...

Heterogeneity in altered streams does not increase the richness of stream specialist species of Odonata in the Maranhense Cerrado
The Brazilian Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot that has suffered significant vegetation loss in the states that make up the so-called MATOPIBA...

Growth of fungi and yeasts in food production waste streams: a feasibility study
Food production produces nutrient-rich waste streams which, depending on local legislation, are either sent to wastewater treatment plants or...

Agricultural land use affects the beta diversity of fish assemblages in subtropical headwater streams in China
Headwater streams, located upstream of the river network, play a crucial role in river ecosystems. However, the increasing conversion of natural...

Effects of environmental factors and ecological integrity on semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) diversity in Cerrado streams
AbstractOur study evaluated the effects of environmental factors and ecological integrity on the communities of semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera:...

Decomposition rates appear stable despite elevated shrimp abundances following hurricanes in montane streams, Puerto Rico
Leaf litter decomposition is a key ecosystem process in headwater streams, influenced by physical fragmentation, microbial degradation and feeding...

Does environmental variability in Atlantic Forest streams affect aquatic hyphomycete and invertebrate assemblages associated with leaf litter?
We aimed to understand how the environmental variability produced by water parameters, land use, and land cover in small streams affects aquatic...

Land use types determine environmental heterogeneity and aquatic insect diversity in Amazonian streams
The Amazon forests are under threat from multiple human land uses, but the effect of the different types of land uses on environmental heterogeneity...
