All fishery food webs are ultimately underpinned by organic matter produced by algae and plants, some of it supplied by primary producers at the fringes of fish habitats. This is no …
Connectivity between habitats and ecological communities is a critical component of trophic structure. Coral reef systems include reef, seagrass, and mangrove habitats, and the …
Agriculture and urbanisation, the two forms of land use, represent serious threats to the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems, especially in the case of small streams at low …
The exchange of nutrients and organic material that occurs along the riparian zones of stream ecosystems is vital to providing energetic subsidies for both aquatic and terrestrial …
Associating anthropogenic effects with variations in biodiversity is key to understanding how anthropogenic impacts are extrapolated in public supply micro-watersheds. The structure …
While a variety of anthropogenic impacts on lotic biodiversity have been documented, food- web responses to catchment development are poorly understood. We selected 27 stream …
Terrestrially-derived carbon (C) and organic matter (OM)—often of significant age— dominate in many streams and rivers, yet little is known about their potential nutritional …
