Stream habitat structure influences macroinvertebrate response to pesticides.
Agricultural pesticides continue to impair surface water ecosystems, although there are few assessments of interactions with other modifications such as fine sediment and physical alteration for flood drainage. We, therefore, surveyed pesticide contamination and macroinvertebrates in 14 streams along a gradient of expected pesticide exposure using a paired-reach approach to differentiate effect...
متن کاملStream Macroinvertebrate Response to Clearcut Logging
Why study response of stream invertebrates to watershed disturbances such as clearcut logging? Stream invertebrates can be excellent integrators of changes in such ecosystem phenomena as changes in the food base of ecosystems. For example, a number of invertebrate taxa appear to track changes in food resources (Hawkins et al. 1982; Fuller et al. 1986; Wallace and Gurtz 1986; Feminella and Hawki...
متن کاملFlow Regime: habitat and macroinvertebrate response
Introduction: Rivers are complex linear features, (Petts, 1994). Assessing habitat quality and composition has traditionally focused on reaches of 10s metres, recently interest has moved to the mesoscale (100s of metres) e.g. Paraseiwicz (2001); Maddock and Bird (1996). Assessment at the catchment scale is the ultimate goal, e.g. European Water Framework Directive (Bragg et al, 2005) and will p...
متن کاملStream macroinvertebrate response to catchment urbanisation (Georgia, U.S.A.)
1. The effects of catchment urbanisation on water quality were examined for 30 streams (stratified into 15, 50 and 100 km ± 25% catchments) in the Etowah River basin, Georgia, U.S.A. We examined relationships between land cover (implying cover and use) in these catchments (e.g. urban, forest and agriculture) and macroinvertebrate assemblage attributes using several previously published indices ...
متن کاملQuantifying Macroinvertebrate Responses to In-Stream Habitat Restoration: Applications of Meta-Analysis to River Restoration
The assumption that restoring physical habitat heterogeneity will increase biodiversity underlies many river restoration projects, despite few tests of the hypothesis. With over 6,000 in-stream habitat enhancement projects implemented in the last decade at a cost exceeding $1 billion, there is a clear need to assess the consistency of responses, as well as factors explaining project performance...
