▪ Abstract Studies of the production of stream insects are now numerous, and general factors
controlling the secondary production of stream communities are becoming evident. In this …

The boreal biome is rich in running waters suitable for the development of black flies. Here
we review the ecological roles of black flies and the options available for their management …

Species invasions are of global significance, but predicting their impacts can be difficult.
Introduced ecosystem engineers, however, provide an opportunity to test the underlying …

Invertebrate secondary production, or the formation of invertebrate biomass through time,
has been estimated in many freshwater benthic habitats. It has been a major research theme …

Abstract Ecological features of Lake Myvatn and the outflowing River Laxá show a wide
range of spatial and temporal variations. The physical division of the lake into three main …

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 …

Studies on diet preferences of stream-dwelling salmonids have mostly been limited to a
relatively small range in body size. This study examined the influence of salmonid body size …

The 2‐years production dynamics of major taxa (family/order) and functional feeding groups
was synthesised from detailed production analyses previously published for all major …

Wetland management by the Eastern Habitat Joint Venture (EHJV) has focused primarily on
water level control to increase the amount of available brood-rearing habitat for waterfowl …

Metabolic theory predicts that warming will increase the energetic demands of organisms,
with especially strong effects on larger individuals. Mean individual body size should …
