There has been a marked increase in the distribution, intensity and frequency of
proliferations of some species of the benthic mat-forming, toxin-producing genus …

Surface area measurement is a common component of benthic research, especially in the
quantification of chlorophyll. Multiple techniques are available and 10 are described …

Consumer-producer dynamics are critical for ecosystem functioning. In marine
environments, primary production is often subject to strong consumer control, and on coral …

We studied the Piburja stream, a high‐altitude tropical stream in Ecuador. Our main goals
were to determine whether the macroinvertebrate community composition and abundance …

The physical properties of substrata significantly influence benthic algal development. We
explored the relationships among substratum surface texture and orientation with epilithic …

Heterogeneity generated by irregularities on the surface of streambed substrates is an
important determinant of local species diversity of algae. However, few investigators have …

Assessing effects of herbivory across broad gradients of varying ocean climate conditions
and over small spatial scales is crucial for understanding its influence on primary producers …

Global warming is facilitating the range expansion of tropical herbivores, causing a
tropicalization of temperate marine ecosystems, where tropical herbivores can suppress …

Proliferations of the benthic anatoxin-producing cyanobacterium Phormidium are increasing
in prevalence in cobble-bed rivers worldwide. This proliferation is of particular concern when …

Some local communities contribute more to beta diversity than others, which has been
known as compositional uniqueness or local contribution to beta diversity. Compositional …
