The range of resources that a species uses (ie its niche breadth) might determine the
geographical area it can occupy, but consensus on whether a niche breadth–range size …

Under global change, the ion concentration of aquatic ecosystems is changing worldwide.
Many freshwater ecosystems are being salinized by anthropogenic salt inputs, whereas …

The CIPRES Science Gateway (CSG) provides browser-based access to computationally
demanding phylogenetic codes run on large HPC resources. Since its release in December …

Dispersal is an essential process in population and community dynamics, but is difficult to
measure in the field. In freshwater ecosystems, information on biological traits related to …

Inland waters cover less than 1% of Earth's surface but harbor more than 6% of all insect
species: Nearly 100,000 species from 12 orders spend one or more life stages in freshwater …

Recent biological analyses suggest that reductions in dispersal ability have been key drivers
of diversification across numerous lineages. We synthesise emerging data to highlight …

Despite claims of an insect decline worldwide, our understanding of extinction risk in insects
is incomplete. Using bionomic data of all odonate (603 dragonflies and damselflies) North …

Aim We hypothesized that mechanisms underlying beta diversity in rivers would differ
between gradients where (1) natural stressors result in progressive species turnover with …

Insects do not live in isolation. They interact with the abiotic environment and are major
components of the terrestrial and freshwater biotic milieus. They are crucial to so many …

The article focuses on the current state-of-the-art conditions of water beetle systematics,
including description of water beetle taxa, their evolutionary relationships and their use as …
