Mitigating ongoing losses of insects and their key functions (eg pollination) requires tracking
large‐scale and long‐term community changes. However, doing so has been hindered by …

Urban streams are exposed to a variety of anthropogenic stressors. Freshwater salinization
is a key stressor in these ecosystems that is predicted to be further exacerbated by climate …

Field observations form the basis of the majority of studies on microphytobenthic algal
communities in freshwater ecosystems. Controlled mesocosm experiments data are …

The rapid advancement of molecular biodiversity monitoring tools, particularly DNA
metabarcoding, has improved specimen identification in bulk samples, such as those from …

Insects are unique in terms of their high species diversity and deliver key ecological
functions. Despite this importance, we know little about true species numbers and …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a promising approach to
assess biodiversity and derive ecological status classes from water samples. However, a …

Rivers face constant anthropogenic stressors, resulting in significant changes in microbial
community composition. What remains unclear is whether these changes render the …

Microorganisms play a key role in the functioning of healthy river ecosystems because they
consume carbon and nutrients from dead biomass derived from algae and other higher …
