Stream and terrestrial ecosystems are intimately connected by riparian zones that support high biodiversity but also vulnerable to human impacts. Landscape disturbances, overgrazing, diffuse pollution of agrochemicals threaten the delivery ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes. We assessed how invertebrate communities respond changes vegetation Romanian catchments, with a focus on role ...

The thirteen species of Phaneropterinae here studied can be arranged in four different groups according to their basic karyological traits. All of them share the same kind of chromosomal sex determining mechanism with X0♂ and XX♀. The X chromosome differs among species and always appears heteropycnotic during prophase I, it is the largest in the set and segregates precociously during anaphase I...
