  1. 1. Gradients of time and complexity : understanding how riparian and instream ecosystems recover after stream restoration

    Författare :Eliza Maher Hasselquist; Christer Nilsson; Stewart Rood; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioassessment; biodiversity; boreal; bryophyte; chronosequence; complexity; diatom; geomorphology; habitat heterogeneity; hydromorphological; macroinvertebrate; macrophyte; nitrogen cycling; river restoration; riparian buffer; stable isotopes; succession; Sweden; Environmental Science; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Why evaluations of the ecological outcomes of stream and river restoration have largely reported inconclusive or negative results has been the subject of much debate over the last decade or more. Understanding the reasons behind the lack of positive results is important for bettering future restoration efforts and setting realistic expectations for restoration outcomes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Structuring factors for macroinvertebrate communities and the importance for ecosystem processing

    Författare :Pia Hertonsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ephemeroptera; competition; Predation risk; brownification; invasive sp.; decomposition; grazing; growth; gastropoda; mortality; amphipoda; isopoda;

    Sammanfattning : Aquatic macroinvertebrates play important roles in our ecosystems and are essential for the ecosystem processing. An improved knowledge of structuring factors, such as competition and predation, and the way in which they operates in the macroinvertebrate community is crucial for our understanding of not only the macroinvertebrates but also the ecosystem in general.

  4. 3. The Macroinvertebrate Community in a Nature-like Fishway with Habitat Compensation Properties

    Författare :Stina Gustafsson; Olle Calles; Martin Österling; Jostein Skurdal; John Brittain; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nature-like fishway; biodiversity; macroinvertebrates; functional feeding groups; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Nature-like fishways are often constructed to restore connectivity in streams exploited for hydropower. They also have the potential to compensate for important habitats that have been degraded or lost. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Effects of morphometric isolation and vegetation on the macroinvertebrate community in shallow Baltic Sea land-uplift bays

    Författare :Joakim Hansen; Lena Kautsky; Erik Bonsdorff; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lagoons; macrofauna; macrophytes; hydrophytes; charophytes; ecological succession; structural complexity; habitat complexity; habitat selection; species composition; biodiversity; stable isotopes; food web; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestrisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Shallow sheltered Baltic Sea bays are ecologically important habitats that harbour a unique vegetation community and constitute vital reproduction areas for many coastal fish species. Knowledge about the invertebrate community in these bays is, however, limited. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Habitat compensation in nature-like fishways : Effects on benthos and fish

    Författare :Stina Gustafsson; Olle Calles; Martin Österling; Jostein Skurdal; Paul Giller; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biocanal; biodiversity; brown trout; freshwater pearl mussel; functional feeding groups; habitat heterogeneity; large woody debris; macroinvertebrates; PIT-tag; salmonids; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : The construction of nature-like fishways has become an increasingly common measure to restore longitudinal connectivity in streams and rivers affected by hydroelectric development. These fishways also have the potential to function as habitat compensation measures when running waters have been degraded or lost. LÄS MER
