Downstream effects of hydropower production on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in two rivers in Costa Rica.
Despite the fact that little is known about the consequences of hydropower production in tropical areas, many large dams (> 15 m high) are currently under construction or consideration in the tropics. We researched the effects of large hydroelectric dams on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in two Costa Rican rivers. We measured physicochemical characteristics and sampled aquatic macroinver...
متن کاملSeasonal variability of landuse impacts on macroinvertebrate assemblages in streams of western Georgia, USA
We examined the influence of land use/land cover (LULC) on macroinvertebrate assemblages and environmental conditions in streams draining 18 small watersheds in the Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregion in Georgia, USA, over a 24-mo period of record. Specifically, we analyzed relationships among LULC categories (i.e., % impervious surface [IS], pasture, silviculture, and deciduous/evergreen forest)...
متن کاملAquatic Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to Drought Conditions in a Coastal Plains Floodplain
Coastal floodplains are productive ecosystems that depend on a regular hydrologic regime that includes a predictable flooding event. Since 2011, ~60-76% of Georgia has experienced abnormally dry to extreme drought conditions. To investigate how an extended drought affects a floodplain ecosystem, we characterized benthic macroinvertebrate communities and organic matter standing stocks on a flood...

متن کاملSeasonal home range dynamics and sex differences in habitat use in a threatened, coastal marsh bird
A comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal ecology is needed to develop conservation strategies for declining species. The king rail (Rallus elegans) is a secretive marsh bird whose range historically extended across the eastern United States. Inland migratory populations have been greatly reduced with most remaining populations inhabiting the coastal margins. Our objectives were to determ...
