Macroinvertebrates are an important component of stream ecosystems and are a link in the
transfer of material and energy from producers to top level consumers and also act as …

Perturbations in ecosystems consist of a sequence of 2 events: the disturbance, marked by
the application of the disturbing forces, and the response shown by the biota to the damage …

To better integrate lotic ecosystems into global cycles and budgets, we provide
approximations of the size-distribution and areal extent of streams and rivers. One approach …

1. Structure and diversity of the macroinvertebrate fauna were studied in relation to altitude
and latitude among three groups of streams from Ecuador (lowland: 100–600 m, Central …

Tributary confluences are sites along a main channel where, because of the introduction of
water and (or) sediment, the water volume, bed sediment character, and water quality of the …

Invertebrate diversity patterns were examined in 11 freshwater habitats (10 streams and a
windswept lake shore) of similar physicochemical nature but different thermal and …

Appropriate tests of disturbance theory require that disturbance is defined and measured in
an organism-related sense. We quantified 7 measures of disturbance, 3 dealing with the …

Eight mesohabitats, visually distinct units of habitat withinthestream, were sampled
seasonally in a lowland chalkstreamreach. Theaim of the study was to test if mesohabitats …

This study used germination methods to examine the density, species composition and
functional composition of propagule banks in a series of riverine wetland aquatic habitats …
