Models of particle encounter efficiency borrowed from aerosol filtration theory have
revolutionised ideas about mechanisms of suspension-feeding (a form of hydrosol filtration) …

Ecohydraulics is a relatively new name for a long‐standing field investigating the
interactions between ecology and the physics of flowing water. In recent decades, a …

We used hot‐film anemometry to quantify fine‐scale spatial and temporal flow variations
near the surfaces of stones inhabited by suspension‐feeding larval blackflies (Simulium …

Increased use of artificial streams in aquatic research over the last 20 years has not been
accompanied by a systematic, critical analysis of their advantages and disadvantages. A …

To understand and predict the dynamics of a population it is necessary to determine whether
processes such as dispersal, growth and mortality are density-dependent and how these …

This chapter discusses the relationship of assimilation efficiency and food quality later. It
also discusses the capture rate and clearance rate are considered to be synonymous; this is …

The main objective of this chapter is to attempt to identify some of the major environmental
factors which influence larval simuliid distributions and population dynamics. The literature …

Human activities have long been altering the natural conditions of streams, including the
quality of their water, throughout most of Brazil. This problem is even worse in regions with …

On trouvera ici un modèle théorique qui peut prédire la répartition des différentes espèces
de mouches noires dans un bassin d'après la structure de l'éventail labral. Le modèle est …

Flume experiments were carried out to examine whether larval blackflies (Simulium ornatum
complex, Diptera: Simuliidae) use microhabitats with a highvelocity current to reduce the risk …
