Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying assimilation of sewage-derived organic matter by riverine benthos
TL;DR: Using stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, this article detected the influence of a nearby primary sewage treatment plant on the benthic food web of a large temperate river, despite the low concentration of wastewater and the absence of accumulated sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of sewage in a large river food web
TL;DR: The role of sewage as a resource for the littoral food web of the fluvial St. Lawrence River near Montreal, Quebec is evaluated and stable isotope analysis indicated that macroinvertebrate primary con...
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered body size distributions in a large river fish community enriched by sewage
TL;DR: Two approaches were used to study size distributions in a littoral fish community across a natural gradient of epiphytic primary production and at sites enriched by primary-treated sewage to reveal substantial variation in size distributions at a local scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration supports uneven consumer control in a sewage-enriched river food web
TL;DR: It is argued that the food web model described an energetically favourable state, and that migration provided a ‘shortcut’ for the system to approach this state within a short growing season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative ecology of two species of hydroporus (coleoptera: dytiscidae) in a high arctic oasis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed habitat measurements of a temporary and a permanent pond and revealed a more complex and extensive organic substrate and vegetation community, longer developmental time, and greater thermal budget in the permanent pond.
