1. ___We summarized previously published mass–length relationships for aquatic insects,
and determined the relationship between dry body mass and body length for eight genera …

Our knowledge about land-use impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is mostly
limited to single trophic levels, leaving us uncertain about whole-community biodiversity …

Estimation of invertebrate biomass is a critical step in addressing many ecological questions
in aquatic environments. Length-dry mass regressions are the most widely used approach …

We collected 541 invertebrate specimens in riparian and upland habitats of the South Fork
(SF) Eel River, California, USA, representing 12 orders and 55 families, and including adults …

Diverse biochemical and physiological adaptations enable different species of ectotherms to
survive and reproduce in very different temperature regimes, but whether these adaptations …

Do large organisms occupy higher trophic levels? Predators are often larger than their prey
in food chains, but empirical evidence for positive body mass–trophic level scaling for entire …

In seasonal environments, breeding events must be synchronized with resource peaks to
ensure production and growth of offspring. As changes in climate may affect trophic levels …

Eutrophication has become one of the most widespread anthropogenic forces impacting
freshwater biological diversity. One potentially important mechanism driving biodiversity …

The aim of this work is to analyse the use and applicability of different series of equations
published for estimating biomass from length data in Arthropoda. A set of length-weight …

The non-indigenous perennial grass, Arundo donax, is an aggressive invader of riparian
areas throughout California and many sub-tropical regions of the world, and is hypothesized …
