Human remains can be discovered in freshwater or marine ecosystems, circumstances
where insects and other invertebrates have infrequently been used for understanding the …

Food webs are complex ecological networks that reveal species interactions and energy
flow in ecosystems. Prevailing ecological knowledge on forested streams suggests that their …

Simple Summary Artificial reefs improve the yield of artisanal fishing grounds by creating
habitats with enhanced productivity, similar to those of natural reefs. For an adequate …

Natural abundances of stable isotopes in lotic food webs yield valuable information about
sources of organic matter for consumers and trophic structure. However, interpretation of …

Local and regional habitat conditions associated with agricultural activity can fundamentally
alter aquatic ecosystems. Increased nutrient inputs, channelization and reduced riparian …

The impact of concrete composition and roughness on the formation of microalgal biofilms
and their photobiology were studied on marine infrastructures presenting four different …

Food webs are spatially variable and temporally dynamic in heterogeneous and species-
rich river floodplains. However, empirical evidence that shows how food webs vary across …

Despite broad recognition of the importance of the Flood Pulse Concept to large river
ecology, few studies have provided empirical evidence to support a number of its …

Biofilms are a ubiquitous formation of microbial communities found on surfaces in aqueous
environments. These structures have been investigated as biomonitoring indicators for …

Plastics are one of the ubiquitous and artificial types of substrates for microbial colonization
and biofilm development in the aquatic environment. Characterizing plastic-associated …
