Abstract:

Many benthic macroinvertebrates are associated with cultured bivalves but are normally excluded from studies on the environmental effects of bivalve aquacultures. We evaluated the hypothesis that mussel aquaculture increases overall “benthic” macroinvertebrate productivity by considering both sediment- and mussel sock-associated macroinvertebrates. It was predicted that the presence of the invasive ascidian Styela clava would increase this effect by increasing the mussel sock’s biogenic structure. Macroinvertebrates in sediments and on mussel socks were sampled in eight bays on Prince Edward I

Macroinvertebrates on immersed woods in streams in montane south-eastern Australia respond to differences in wood taxa, according to a 4-month colonization study of experimentally positioned sticks.

Where gouging elmids were abundant (in native forest streams with native riparian vegetation), immersed Eucalyptus wood supported high abundances of other macroinvertebrates; in their absence (in open grassland streams), Eucalyptus supp

To investigate the potential causes of changes to bird communities in exurban areas, we examined the relationship between bird and macroinvertebrate communities in exurbanized forest. We randomly located sampling points across a gradient of exurbanization. We used point counts to quantify bird communities and sweep netting, soil cores, pitfalls, and frass collectors to quantify macroinvertebrates. Bird communities had higher richness and abundance in exurban areas compared to undeveloped forests, and lost some species of conservation concern but gained others.

Macroinvertebrates are widely used for monitoring freshwater ecosystems. In most monitoring programs, identifications take substantial time and expense.

Body size is a key trait of species, populations, and organisms; it relates to abundance, home range, metabolic rates, and stressors.

In aquatic ecosystems, particularly for benthic macroinvertebrates, the slope value deviates from the expected value of −0.75. This variation may depend on abiotic and biotic factors as well as methods that are used to sample benthic macroinvertebrates. “Leaf-bags” and “Surber-net” are the most used methods and they provide different data about

Abstract:

Macroinvertebrates are aquatic organisms that live at the bottom of the water, have relatively slow movements, and have a relatively long life span so that they can respond to river water conditions, changes in water quality, and the substrate in which they live significantly affecting their composition and abundance. This research aims to determine the diversity value, macroinvertebrate dominance, and the river water quality based on the Family Biotic Index (FBI) in the Deket River, located in the Lamongan Regency. The sampling method used a purposive sampling method, sampling was carried out

Abstract:

Benthic macroinvertebrates have been thoroughly studied from various points of view, but our knowledge about their colonisation processes and dynamics in karstic springs is still scarce. Karst springs are stable systems that serve as an ideal experimental field site for studying the colonisation processes of benthic macroinvertebrates. Therefore, we conducted a study on the dynamics of their colonisation as a function of environmental characteristics, using artificial substrates that mimic aquatic vegetation. The substrates were placed in both open and closed canopy areas with different motili

Abstract:

The effect of hyporheic exchange on macroinvertebrates is a significant topic in ecohydraulics. A field study was conducted during May and June 2017 to investigate the impacts of magnitude and patterns of hyporheic exchange on the sediment macroinvertebrate community in the Weihe River basin. The results demonstrate that upwelling flows cause resuspension of riverbed sediment, increasing the proportion of swimmer groups (such as Baetidae) in the macroinvertebrate community. However, large resuspension of river bed sediment results in a reduced abundance of macroinvertebrates. By controlling th

Metabarcoding studies of these communities are usually performed from "bulk" samples in the case of diatoms and macroinvertebrates; and from water samples in the case of fish.Recent studies, suggest that aquatic biofilms can physically act as environmental catchers of environmental DNA (eDNA) (e.g. Mariani et al. 2019).

Among the fauna components associated with macrophytes, aquatic macroinvertebrates are important because they are an energy source for predators and fish. In six lakes and two different seasons (March and August 2009), the ecological attributes of aquatic macroinvertebrate community associated with Eichhornia azurea were compared and the controlling environmental factors were identified
