Seasonal aquatic macrophytes reduce water temperatures via a riverine canopy in a spring-fed stream
Maximum water temperatures in streams throughout the western USA typically occur in late summer and early autumn, coinciding with low stream flow. However, in the spring-fed Big Springs Creek in northern California, where constant-temperature groundwater springs provide relatively stable stream flow throughout the year, peak water temperatures and maximum diurnal variability occur in spring. We...
متن کاملDiversity and Community Composition of Vertebrates in Desert River Habitats
Animal species are seldom distributed evenly at either local or larger spatial scales, and instead tend to aggregate in sites that meet their resource requirements and maximise fitness. This tendency is likely to be especially marked in arid regions where species could be expected to concentrate at resource-rich oases. In this study, we first test the hypothesis that productive riparian sites i...
متن کاملCascade of ecological consequences for West Nile virus transmission when aquatic macrophytes invade stormwater habitats.
Artificial aquatic habitats are ubiquitous in anthropogenic landscapes and highly susceptible to colonization by invasive plant species. Recent research into the ecology of infectious diseases indicates that the establishment of invasive plant species can trigger ecological cascades which alter the transmission dynamics of vector-borne pathogens that imperil human health. Here, we examined whet...
متن کاملExploring riverine zooplankton in three habitats of the Illinois River ecosystem: Where do they come from?
We sampled three habitats (main channel, side channels, and backwater lakes) during 2 yr along 32 km of the Illinois River to compare zooplankton distribution and dynamics, as well as evaluate the possible effects of hydrology on taxonomic abundance and distribution. Zooplankton assemblages displayed both spatial and temporal variation. Whereas the riverine zooplankton assemblage was dominated ...
