Aquatic macroinvertebrates are involved in numerous processes within aquatic ecosystems.
They often have important effects on ecosystem processes such as primary production (via …

The present study examined the effects of pulse exposures of the insecticide imidacloprid on
the mayfly, Epeorus longimanus Eaton (Family Heptageniidae), and on an aquatic …

Biomass is one of the most fundamental measurements made in ecology. In stream ecology,
biomass is frequently used to estimate the abundance of benthic primary producers, both …

Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed to serve as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference source for …

Heavy shade presents serious challenges for primary producers and food—limited
herbivores in forest streams. In this study, we examined the response of periphyton and …

In this paper we suggest a conceptual model for the evaluation of periphyton communities in
unshaded temperate streams based on the primary habitat variables of flood disturbance …

This review summarizes the state of knowledge regarding herbivory in stream ecosystems
by quantitatively analyzing the results of 89 experimental studies published between 1972 …

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can reduce the photosynthesis and growth of benthic
diatom communities in shallow freshwater. Nevertheless, greater amounts of algae …

Le métabolisme global du cours d'eau dans un cours d'eau de premier ordre a été mesuré
en utilisant les changements amont–aval de la concentration d'oxygène dissous (OD) …

To assess the principal factors regulating periphytic algal communities, I conducted a field
study along a productivity gradient of Swedish and Antarctic lakes ranging from extremely …
