various ways. Here, we review the contemporary literature on how alterations in aquatic …

Aquatic ecosystems around the world are contaminated with a wide range of anthropogenic
chemicals, including metals and organic pollutants, that originate from point and nonpoint …

Cross‐ecosystem subsidies move substantial amounts of nutrients between ecosystems.
Emergent aquatic insects are a particularly important prey source for riparian songbirds but …

There is growing concern over the health of North American birds, with evidence suggesting
substantial population declines. Spiders are prominent dietary items for many bird species …

Riparian spiders are used in ecotoxicology as sentinels of bioavailable contaminants that
are transferred from aquatic to terrestrial habitats via emergent aquatic insects. Spiders in …

Tetragnathid spiders have been used as sentinels to study the biotransport of contaminants
between aquatic and terrestrial environments because a significant proportion of their diet …

Riparian tetragnathid spiders are used as biosentinels of aquatic contamination because
they are specialized feeders of aquatic emergent insects and are also prey items for …

As top consumers and generalist predators, spiders are ideal organisms to study food webs
and complex ecological functions using stable isotopes. Most researchers use whole‐body …

Riparian systems are critical ecological interfaces that have a significant impact on the
surrounding aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The riparian and surrounding systems have …

The movement of organisms and material between adjacent ecosystems is a ubiquitous
process. Over the last three decades, many works have uncovered factors that influence the …
