Spatial stoichiometry: cross‐ecosystem material flows and their impact on recipient ecosystems and organisms

J Sitters, CL Atkinson, N Guelzow, P Kelly, LL Sullivan - Oikos, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Cross‐ecosystem material flows, in the form of inorganic nutrients, detritus and organisms,
spatially connect ecosystems and impact food web dynamics. To date research on material …

Resource subsidies across the land–freshwater interface and responses in recipient communities

JS Richardson, Y Zhang… - River Research and …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Fluxes of resource subsidies, such as terrestrial leaf litter to streams and adult aquatic
insects to riparian predators, are examples of important links between adjacent ecosystems …

Metamorphosis and the impact of contaminants on ecological subsidies

J Wesner, JM Kraus, B Henry, J Kerby - Contaminants and Ecological …, 2020 - Springer
Animals with complex life histories such as aquatic insects and amphibians link freshwater
and terrestrial ecosystems when they transition from water to land during development. This …

Cross‐ecosystem impacts of stream pollution reduce resource and contaminant flux to riparian food webs

JM Kraus, TS Schmidt, DM Walters… - Ecological …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The effects of aquatic contaminants are propagated across ecosystem boundaries by
aquatic insects that export resources and contaminants to terrestrial food webs; however, the …

The fire pulse: wildfire stimulates flux of aquatic prey to terrestrial habitats driving increases in riparian consumers

RL Malison, CV Baxter - Canadian Journal of Fisheries and …, 2010 - cdnsciencepub.com
We investigated the midterm effects of wildfire (in this case, five years after the fire) of varying
severity on periphyton, benthic invertebrates, emerging adult aquatic insects, spiders, and …

The effect of habitat structure on prey mortality depends on predator and prey microhabitat use

J Klecka, DS Boukal - Oecologia, 2014 - Springer
Structurally complex habitats provide cover and may hinder the movement of animals. In
predator–prey relationships, habitat structure can decrease predation risk when it provides …

Low-cost floating emergence net and bottle trap: comparison of two designs

P Cadmus, JPF Pomeranz, JM Kraus - Journal of Freshwater …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Sampling emergent aquatic insects is of interest to many freshwater ecologists. Many
quantitative emergence traps require the use of aspiration for collection. However, aspiration …

The energetic contributions of aquatic primary producers to terrestrial food webs in a mid‐size river system

A Kautza, SMP Sullivan - Ecology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Rivers are increasingly recognized as providing nutritional subsidies (ie, energy and
nutrients) to adjacent terrestrial food webs via depredation of aquatic organisms (eg …

Multiple stressors in north temperate streams: lessons from linked forest–stream ecosystems in northern Japan

KD Fausch, CV Baxter, M Murakami - Freshwater Biology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Streams are highly connected to their landscapes and so are easily altered by multiple
stressors that affect both uplands and riparian zones, and the streams themselves. These …

Effects of wildfire of varying severity on benthic stream insect assemblages and emergence

RL Malison, CV Baxter - Journal of the North American …, 2010 - journals.uchicago.edu
The effects of wildfire can alter the structure of stream insect assemblages. Post-fire shifts to
dominance by r-strategist taxa could drive increases in productivity of primary consumer and …
