DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6746
Abstract: Abstract Closely related species are often assumed to be functionally similar. Phylogenetic information is thus widely used to infer functional diversity and assembly of communities. In contrast, evolutionary processes generating functional similarity of phylogenetically distinct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3671-3
Abstract: Little is known about the impacts of diet and environment on the composition and stability of gut microbial assemblages among freshwater macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups, compared to terrestrial counterparts. In this study, we compared gut… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-018-1045-2
Abstract: Artificially drained commercial forests are hydrologically novel ecosystems, where the array of aquatic habitats consists of ditches and remnant pools. In general the network of ditches has been found to have longer hydroperiod, the knowledge,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0170638
Abstract: The establishment of no-take marine protected areas (MPAs) on coral reefs is a common management strategy for conserving the diversity, abundance, and biomass of reef organisms. Generally, well-managed and enforced MPAs can increase or maintain… read more here.

DOI: 10.3354/ab00724
Abstract: The importance of aquatic arthropods in the processing of organic matter in fluvial systems is well known, but this topic has been poorly studied in Neotropical rivers. In this research, we studied the composition of… read more here.
