Because it is only possible to test chemicals for effects on a restricted range of species and
exposure scenarios, ecotoxicologists are faced with a significant challenge of how to …

Owing to the substantial consumption of caffeinated food, beverages, and medicines
worldwide, caffeine is considered the most representative pharmaceutically active …

Riparian zones ensure freshwater ecosystem processes such as microclimate regulation,
organic matter inputs, and fine substrate retention. These processes illustrate the importance …

Urbanisation of riverine landscape is an increasing threat to the functionality of river
ecosystems. In this study, we identify and classify macroinvertebrates indicator signature …

Bridging applied ecology and ecotoxicology is key to protect ecosystems. These disciplines
show a mismatch, especially when evaluating pressures. Contrasting to applied ecology …

Headwater streams are facing increasing disturbances from human pressures worldwide,
thus better knowledge about bioindicators, particularly aquatic insect responses to various …

Ubiquitous sensing will create many opportunities and threats for urban water management,
which are only poorly understood today. To identify the most relevant trends, we conducted …

Emergent aquatic insects constitute an important food source for higher trophic levels,
linking aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems. Little is known about how land use affects the …

Seasonal hydrological variation and chemical pollution represent two main drivers of
freshwater biodiversity change in Mediterranean rivers. We investigated to what extent low …

Marine zooplankton are central components of holistic ecosystem assessments due to their
intermediary role in the food chain, linking the base of the food chain with higher trophic …
