DOI: 10.1007/s10452-017-9642-3
Abstract: Variation in biological communities is a consequence of stochastic and deterministic factors. Examining the relative importance of these factors helps to understand variation in the whole biodiversity in a region. We examined the roles of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3534-y
Abstract: Wildfire is one of the most important global agents of disturbance affecting terrestrial and riparian vegetation. Post-fire vegetation changes can alter stream resource pathways and cause channel reorganization and sediment-laden debris flows. Yet, little is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.02.013
Abstract: Abstract This study aims to assess the macroinvertebrate communities, diversity and ecological quality (expressed as BMWP-Viet) of rivers on a tropical island. Environmental factors associated with macroinvertebrate communities, diversity and ecological quality were identified to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2018.04.088
Abstract: Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North America support macroinvertebrate communities that are integral to local food webs and important to breeding waterfowl. Macroinvertebrates in PPR wetlands are primarily generalists and well adapted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fooweb.2018.e00098
Abstract: Abstract Invasive species are among the most significant threats to biodiversity. They have direct and indirect effects on the colonized environments including the alteration of food webs structure by predation. Thus, the diet of invasive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.limno.2018.03.002
Abstract: Abstract Worldwide there has been deterioration of lakeshore habitat and increasing eutrophication. These stresses have impacted littoral macroinvertebrate communities. However, bioassessment and rehabilitation have been largely carried out offshore, and the inshore macroinvertebrates have received… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15597
Abstract: Freshwater biomonitoring programmes routinely sample aquatic macroinvertebrates. These samples are time‐consuming to collect, as well as challenging and costly to identify reliably genus or species. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a surrogate to… read more here.
