1. The structure of lotic macroinvertebrate communities may be strongly influenced by land‐
use practices within catchments. However, the relative magnitude of influence on the …

Summary 1 We used 94 sites within the Northern Lakes and Forests ecoregion spanning
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan to identify environmental variables at the catchment …

Aim We examined the relative contributions of spatial gradients and local environmental
conditions to macroinvertebrate assemblages of boreal headwater streams at three …

The effects of catchment urbanisation on water quality were examined for 30 streams
(stratified into 15, 50 and 100 km2±25% catchments) in the Etowah River basin, Georgia …

More than one‐half of the world's population lives in urban areas, so quantifying the effects
of urbanization on ecological communities is important for understanding whether …

Headwater streams are ubiquitous in the landscape and are important sources of water,
sediments and biota for downstream reaches. They are critical sites for organic matter …

Summary 1 Multiscale determinants of diversity and the relationship between regional
(RSR) and local richness (LSR) have recently attracted increased attention, yet such studies …

Macroinvertebrate communities were examined in conjunction with landuse and water-
chemistry variables at 60 sites in the NYC drinking-water-supply watersheds over a 3-y …

SUMMARY 1 Patterns of macroinvertebrate community composition were examined in
streams within a 40000‐km2 catchment in central Michigan, USA, to identify the major …

The effects of changes in the landscape and alteration of natural flow process on aquatic
macroinvertebrate assemblages were investigated in 67 small‐to‐medium sized (15–526 …
