Sensitive and cost‐effective indicators of aquatic ecosystem condition in A mazon streams
are necessary to assess the effects of anthropogenic disturbances on those systems in a …

Despite the fundamental dependence of human populations on water resources, a range of
anthropogenic impacts, in particular the removal of riparian vegetation, threaten freshwater …

Community assembly theory is founded on the premise that the relative importance of local
environmental processes and dispersal shapes the compositional structure of …

The accumulation of scientific knowledge is far outstripped by the rate of environmental
disturbance from human activities in aquatic habitats. This highlights the need to develop …

This study showed that the main impact on Odonata species of removal of riparian
vegetation for road building was on community composition, since species richness …

The presence of riparian vegetation provides microclimatic regulation of stream conditions
[eg luminosity (lux), air temperature (° C) and relative humidity (%)], which varies naturally …

AIM: Here we assess the effects of habitat degradation on individuals of the two suborders of
Odonata community of Borecaia river sub-basin. More specifically, we tested the hypothesis …

Generally, habitat loss and fragmentation negatively affect biota, often in nonlinear ways.
Such nonlinear responses suggest the existence of critical limits for habitat loss beyond …

Riparian zones are among the most threatened natural ecosystems, being greatly affected
by land use changes across the world. Working in a savanna landscape in the Central-West …

Riparian vegetation is an important determinant of the physical, chemical, and biological
condition of streams, and odonates are useful indicators of riparian condition. To identify …
