Absence of species replacements between permanent and temporary lentic communities in New Zealand
(North American Benthological Society (Society for Fresh Water Science), 2009)The species composition of lentic communities often shifts along hydroperiod gradients, in part because temporary-habitat specialists replace closely related permanent-habitat specialists. These replacements reflect tradeoffs ... -
Caddisfly behavioral responses to drying cues in temporary ponds: Implications for effects of climate change.
(The University of Chicago Press, 2016-02-11)Aquatic organisms that live at high latitudes and elevations are especially vulnerable to climate-change-induced alterations in snowpack, snowmelt, and evaporation rates, all of which affect basin filling and drying dates. ... -
Caddisfly life histories along permanence gradients in high-altitude wetlands in Colorado (U.S.A.)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003-01-17)1. Larvae of cased caddisflies (Limnephilidae and Phryganeidae) are among the most abundant and conspicuous invertebrates in northern wetlands. Although species replacements are often observed along permanence gradients, ... -
Effects of drying regime on microbial colonization and shredder preference in seasonal woodland wetlands
(Blackwell, 2008-03)1. Energy budgets of wetlands in temperate deciduous forests are dominated by terrestrially derived leaf litter that decays under different drying conditions depending on autumn precipitation. We compared decay rates and ... -
Foraging trade-offs along a predator-permanence gradient in subalpine wetlands
(Ecological Society of America, 1999-09)We conducted a series of field and laboratory experiments to determine the direct and indirect effects of a top predator, the tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum), on larvae of two species of limnephilid caddisflies ... -
High interspecific variation in nutrient excretion within a guild of closely related caddisfly species
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-05-21)Understanding the amount of variation in functional traits between closely related species within guilds is critical for understanding links between community composition and ecosystem processes. Nutrient excretion is an ... -
High interspecific variation in nutrient excretion within a guild of closely related caddisfly species
(ESA Journals, 2018-05)Understanding the amount of variation in functional traits between closely related species within guilds is critical for understanding links between community composition and ecosystem processes. Nutrient excretion is an ... -
Intraguild predation and cannibalism among larvae of detritivorous caddisflies in subalpine wetlands
(Ecological Society of America, 1996-12-01)Comparative data from subalpine wetlands in Colorado indicate that larvae of the limnephilid caddisflies, Asynarchus nigriculus and Limnephilus externus, are reciprocally abundant among habitats–Limnephilus larvae dominate ... -
Nonlinear effects of consumer density on multiple ecosystem processes
(British Ecological Society, 2012)1. In the face of human-induced declines in the abundance of common species, ecologists have become interested in quantifying how changes in density affect rates of biophysical processes, hence ecosystem function. We ... -
Role of animal detritivores in the breakdown of emergent plant detritus in temporary ponds
(University of Chicago Press, 2018-10-17)Few in situ studies have investigated the biological drivers of detritus processing in shallow lentic systems, despite abundant evidence that vascular plant detritus is a primary source of nutrients and energy. In particular, ...
