DOI: 10.3390/insects15050308
Abstract: Simple Summary Water colour is an important physicochemical property of water that affects aquatic communities. Land-use change has led to water colour darkening in lotic habitats, such as streams and rivers. Here, I evaluate whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.3996/112016-jfwm-085
Abstract: Abstract Surveying for rare animals can be difficult but using models to predict suitable habitat can guide sampling efforts. We used models to predict suitable habitat for the Narrow-footed Hygrotus Diving Beetle Hygrotus diversipes (diving… read more here.
