DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-16327-3_16
Abstract: Ecosystems and species are disappearing fast and the conservation of isolated and fragmented landscapes is not enough to maintain healthy populations. However, populations from fragmented and impacted landscapes may be benefited if there are pathways… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-16327-3_8
Abstract: Research on territoriality has barely progressed beyond the descriptive stage in most aquatic insects, but some territorial species have been studied intensively and served as model organisms for testing certain aspects of evolutionary theory. After… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cois.2022.100885
Abstract: Metals and organic contaminants in aquatic systems affect the coupling of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through two pathways: contaminant-induced effects on insect emergence and emergence-induced contaminant transfer. Consequently, the impact of aquatic contaminants on terrestrial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c07129
Abstract: Emergent aquatic insects are important food subsidies to riparian food webs but can also transfer waterborne contaminants to the terrestrial environment. This study aimed to quantitatively assess this biodriven transfer for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances… read more here.

Size-Dependent Sensitivity of Aquatic Insects to Metals
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Environmental Science & Technology"
DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.9b04089
Abstract: Laboratory assessments of aqueous metal toxicity generally demonstrate aquatic insects tolerate relatively high concentrations of metals in aqueous exposures; however, mesocosm experiments and field biomonitoring often indicate effects at relatively low metal concentrations. One hypothesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12906
Abstract: Summary Janzen's extension of the climate variability hypothesis posits that increased seasonal variation at high latitudes should result in greater temperature overlap across elevations, and favor wider thermal breadths in temperate organisms compared to their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13156
Abstract: Ecologists studying bird foraging ecology have generally focused on food quantity over quality. Emerging work suggests that food quality, in terms of highly unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (HUFA), can have equally important effects on performance.… read more here.
