Over 50 years ago nymphs of the Plecoptera species, Paraperla frontalis Banks, 1906
(Plecoptera: Chloroperlidae), were shown to exist in a shallow floodplain aquifer of the …

Deciphering the timing of lineage diversification and extinction has greatly benefited in the
last decade from methodological developments in fossil-based analyses. If these advances …

Like all taxa, populations of aquatic insects may respond to climate change by evolving new
physiologies or behaviors, shifting their range, exhibiting physiological and behavioral …

Many aquatic insects are exposed to the dual stressors of heavy metal pollution and rising
water temperatures from global warming. These stresses may interact and have stronger …

Little is known about the ecology of insect species in the hyporheic zone of rivers, despite its
importance in understanding how species survive in specialized habitats. We report on the …

Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) provides detailed measures of dissolved 28, 29,
30N2, O2, and argon (Ar) for estimating important gas fluxes and concentrations in aquatic …

Ambient hypoxia can pose a major threat to the survival of metazoan organisms, especially
insect embryos. Hemocyanin exhibits dominant expression in insect embryos, but its specific …

Many freshwater ecosystems worldwide undergo hypoxia events that can trigger
physiological, behavioral, and molecular responses in many organisms. Among such …

Fluctuations in temperature are recognized as a potent driver of selection pressure, fostering
genomic variations that are crucial for the adaptation and survival of organisms under …

Aquatic insects cope with hypoxia and anoxia using a variety of behavioral and
physiological responses. Most stoneflies (Plecoptera) occur in highly oxygenated surface …
