Invertebrates play vital roles in maintaining biodiversity and food web structure. However, it
is difficult to identify invertebrate taxa across complex habitats due to the limitation of …

Stable isotopes are increasingly used to detect and understand the impacts of
environmental changes on riverine ecological properties. The δ 13 C and δ 15 N signatures …

Tropical and subtropical rivers are being subjected to multiple stressors from human
disturbance (eg, water pollution and habitat degradation). Understanding the relationship …

The utilization of food resources by aquatic consumers reflects the structure and functioning
of river food webs. In lotic water systems, where food availability and predator–prey …

The rice-fish co-culture system (RFS) is a traditional cooperative farming model employed in
southern China that can achieve doubling the harvest of rice (Oryza sp.) and fish. Most …

Fish are vital in river ecosystems; however, traditional investigations of fish usually cause
ecological damage. Extracting DNA from aquatic environments and identifying DNA …

Invertebrates can store carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and other elements in their
body tissues at theoretically homeostatic rates, thus playing an important role in the …

Isotopic niches reflect the basic structure and functioning of river food webs; however, their
response to riverine environments remains unclear. We used stable isotope analysis and …

Aquatic ecosystems can harbour more than one non-native fish species and this can
represent a threat due to trophic interactions with native fishes. However, research on …

Understanding the trophic discrimination (∆ 13C and∆ 15N) between consumers and diets in
fluvial systems remains difficult because of the variable food sources and complex predator …
