Meta-analysis reveals declines in terrestrial but increases in freshwater insect abundances
Recent case studies showing substantial declines of insect abundances have raised alarm,
but how widespread such patterns are remains unclear. We compiled data from 166 long …

Long-term abundance trends of insect taxa are only weakly correlated
Changes in the abundances of animals, such as with the ongoing concern about insect
declines, are often assumed to be general across taxa. However, this assumption is largely …

[HTML][HTML] Long-term impacts of nutrient control, climate change, and invasive clams on phytoplankton and cyanobacteria biomass in a large temperate river
Recent studies suggest that climate change, with warmer water temperatures and lower and
longer low flows, may enhance harmful planktic cyanobacterial growth in lakes and large …

Heterogeneity of ecosystem function in an “Anthropocene” river system
Physical heterogeneity is a strong driver of ecosystem function in rivers, but it is not clear
whether this relationship persists in “Anthropocene” rivers: those affected by pronounced …

Morphological diversity increases with decreasing resources along a zooplankton time series
Biodiversity is studied notably because of its reciprocal relationship with ecosystem
functions such as production. Diversity is traditionally described from a taxonomic, genetic or …

River habitat homogenisation enhances trophic competition and promotes individual specialisation among young of the year fish
In large rivers, fish ontogenic development success is mainly influenced by resource
availability and by the possibility of species to adapt their diet (ie trophic niche). Humans …
