Spatiotemporal metacommunity structures and beta diversity of macroinvertebrates in stream and lake systems
Understanding how metacommunity organization is structured in space and time is a long-standing challenge in community ecology. We aimed to explore the spatiotemporal beta diversity of macroinvertebrate metaco...

Open AccessThe relationships between biotic uniqueness and abiotic uniqueness are context dependent across drainage basins worldwide
Global change, including land-use change and habitat degradation, has led to a decline in biodiversity, more so in freshwater than in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the research on freshwaters lags behind te...

Relationship between exposure to an insecticide and fluctuating asymmetry in a damselfly (Odonata, Coenagriidae)
In this study, we explored the effects of pesticide on fluctuating asymmetry (FA) levels and mortality of Ceriagrion sp. larvae. The results showed that the mortality of larval damselflies treated with pesticide ...
