Abstract In addition to the hydromorphological pressure on ecological conditions of free‐flowing river courses, increasing water temperature is affecting bodies, particularly by changing freshwater community compositions. The low discharge numerous European rivers in dry and hot hydrological year 2022 proves this relevance. Therefore, assessment tools such as habitat modeling should take these ...

Glyphosate based herbicides, including Roundup , are frequently used in the chemical control of weeds and invading alien plant species in South Africa. These herbicides ultimately get into water courses directly or indirectly through processes such as drifting, leaching, surface runoff and foliar spray of aquatic nuisance plants. Despite their widespread use, no water quality guideline exists t...

Fungicides pose a risk for crustacean leaf shredders serving as key-stone species litter breakdown in detritus-based stream ecosystems. However, little is known about the impact of strobilurin fungicides on shredders, even though they are presumed to be most hazardous fungicide class aquafauna. Therefore, we assessed azoxystrobin (AZO) survival, energy processing (leaf consumption and feces pro...
