Peckarsky (1979) presents in situ studies of the movements of benthic stream invertebrates into and out of experimental cages. The conclusions drawn from these studies fall into two categories: species or species aggregates were characterized as having density-dependent or density-independent movements; and equilibrium benthic densities in cages were calculated and compared to natural densities...

Standardized experimental approaches for the quantification of bioaccumulation potential nanomaterials in general and (benthic) invertebrates particular are currently lacking. We examined suitability benthic freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca examination nanomaterials. A flow-through test system that allows generation bioconcentration biomagnification factors was applied. The feasibility confi...

A year-long research on the Mugil cephalus and M. curema diet was conducted. The food content in the cardiac portion of 192 stomachs revealed a great similarity in both species leading to two conclusions: sediments are their basic food and high levels of benthic diatoms are dominant. A total of 130 taxa were found (Nitzschia, Navicula, Amphora, and Cocconeis dominated). Other food components we...

The water quality, habitats, and biota of streams in the upper Animas River watershed of Colorado, USA, are affected by metal contamination associated with acid drainage. We determined metal concentrations in components of the food web of the Animas River and its tributaries-periphyton (aufwuchs), benthic invertebrates, and livers of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)-and evaluated pathways of...

Abstract Many benthic marine invertebrates resemble plants in being modular and either sessile or sedentary, by relying on an external vector to disperse their gametes. These shared features, along with recent evidence of inbreeding these taxa, suggest that theory practice bearing the evolutionary costs benefits for could advance our understanding ecology evolution invertebrate animals. We desc...
