Imidacloprid (IM) has emerged as a contaminant of concern in several areas within the
United States due to its frequent detection in aquatic ecosystems and its pseudo …

Thiamethoxam is a commonly used neonicotinoid insecticide that acts as a nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist. Although vertebrates are less sensitive to …

Determining the relative importance of niche‐and dispersal‐based processes in the
structuring of animal communities is central in ecology. Freshwater fish and crustacean …

Populations exposed to sustained differences in predation pressure often diverge in
morphological, behavioural or physiological features. However, predation pressures can …

Relationships between body shape and escape performance are well established for many
species. However, organisms can face multiple selection pressures that might impose …

Freshwater streams on oceanic islands serve critical ecological and economic functions.
However, these are underrepresented in assessments of pollution from contaminants of …

The morphology of an individual can affect functional performance and, ultimately, survival
and fitness. To study these links, a first step is to evaluate the relationship between …

Introduction: Considerable use of neonicotinoid insecticides has resulted in their detection in
surface waters globally, with imidacloprid (IM) and thiamethoxam (TM) frequently found …

Many animals migrate across regions of their geographic range as part of extended events,
with groups of individuals proceeding through areas of travel on several successive days …
