Consumer‐driven nutrient dynamics in freshwater ecosystems: From individuals to ecosystems
The role of animals in modulating nutrient cycling [hereafter, consumer‐driven nutrient
dynamics (CND)] has been accepted as an important influence on both community structure …

Joint effects of warming and salinization on instream leaf litter decomposition assessed through a microcosm experiment
Stream ecosystem functioning is often impaired by warming and salinization, but the joint
effect of both environmental stressors on key processes such as leaf litter decomposition is …

Detrital nutrient content determines growth rate and elemental composition of bromeliad‐dwelling insects
In many aquatic ecosystems, detritus is the main basal resource and is able to support
highly productive food webs. However, detritus is a relatively poor‐quality resource …

Environmental determinants of chironomid communities in remote northern lakes across the treeline–Implications for climate change assessments
Abstract Chironomids (Diptera: Chironomidae) in northern lakes are especially sensitive to
climate change impacts. In addition, environmental factors other than direct temperature …

Leaf litter traits drive community structure and functioning in a natural aquatic microcosm
Leaf litter fuels secondary production in many aquatic ecosystems. Although the identity and
species richness of leaf litter have been shown to influence ecosystem functioning and food …

Thresholds of acidification impacts on macroinvertebrates adapted to seasonally acidified tropical streams: potential responses to extreme drought-driven pH declines
C Ganong, MH Oconitrillo, C Pringle - PeerJ, 2021 - peerj.com
Background Drought-driven acidification events of increasing frequency and severity are
expected as a consequence of climate change, and these events may expose …

Stoichiometric homeostasis in the food web of a chronically nutrient-rich stream
The theory of ecological stoichiometry holds that heterotrophs are mostly homeostatic and
exhibit less variation in body stoichiometry than do autotrophs. Most studies of stream …
