DOI: 10.1007/s00267-017-0938-9
Abstract: We investigated the influence and relative importance of insecticides and other agricultural stressors in determining variability in invertebrate communities in small streams in intensive soy-production regions of Brazil and Paraguay. In Paraguay we sampled 17… read more here.

From headwaters into the estuarine zone: changes in processes and invertebrate communities in response to abiotic conditions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Aquatic Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10452-020-09820-7
Abstract: We analysed the relationship between functional and structural variables (leaf litter decomposition, biofilms growth, primary productivity, invertebrate communities’ taxonomic structure, and biological traits) and environmental conditions from headwaters into the estuary, which remains under-investigated. Six… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2021.101847
Abstract: Abstract Although fisheries for invertebrates are increasing rapidly worldwide, many of them lack the rigid assessments and regulations that are typical of finfish fisheries. We report nektonic invertebrate communities of the Yangtze River estuary in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00288330.2017.1330273
Abstract: ABSTRACT Invasive fish eradication is a key management strategy in aquatic ecosystems, and is often accomplished using piscicides such as rotenone. However, the effects of piscicides on aquatic invertebrate communities are poorly understood, particularly over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.13070
Abstract: The physical characteristics of biogenic habitats and environmental conditions are important determinants of biodiversity, yet their relative importance can change across spatial scales. We aimed to understand how relationships between the physical characteristics of macroalgal… read more here.

Climatic and trophic processes drive long‐term changes in functional diversity of freshwater invertebrate communities
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecography"
DOI: 10.1111/ecog.02701
Abstract: When investigating the fields of biogeography and macroecology, climate- and productivity-related variables are frequently identified as the strongest correlates of species-diversity patterns. These variables have been usually merged under the climate/productivity hypothesis and describe the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.05349
Abstract: Climate change is altering the water cycle globally, increasing the frequency and magnitude of floods and droughts. An outstanding question is whether biodiversity responses to hydrological disturbance depend on background climatic context – and if… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0269938
Abstract: Over the last 60 years, Arctic goose populations have increased while many sympatric tundra nesting bird populations have declined. Hyperabundant geese have well-documented effects on tundra habitats, which can alter habitat use by sympatric bird… read more here.
