Microbial Biofilms: from Ecology to Molecular Genetics
Mary E. Davey,George A. O'Toole +1 more
TL;DR: The recent explosion in the field of biofilm research has led to exciting progress in the development of new technologies for studying these communities, advanced the authors' understanding of the ecological significance of surface-attached bacteria, and provided new insights into the molecular genetic basis ofBiofilm development.

Landscape filters and species traits: Towards mechanistic understanding and prediction in stream ecology
TL;DR: Multi-scale, mechanistic understanding of species-environment relations will likely contribute to better predictions about large scale problems, such as the establishment and spread of exotic species or alterations in community composition with changing land use or climate.

PRIMARY CONSUMER δ13C AND δ15N AND THE TROPHIC POSITION OF AQUATIC CONSUMERS
TL;DR: In this paper, the variation in baseline δ15N values in 14 lakes in Ontario and Quebec was investigated and it was shown that habitat-specific variation in lake habitat can explain 72% of the variability in primary consumers δ13C.

Length-mass relationships for freshwater macroinvertebrates in North America with particular reference to the southeastern United States
TL;DR: A compilation and analysis of length-mass regressions using the power model, M (mass) = a L (length)b, are presented from 30 y of data collected by the authors, primarily from the southeastern USA, along with published regressions from the rest of North America.

Temporal succession in a desert stream ecosystem following flash flooding
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of temporal succession in lotic ecosystems is described, where a late summer flood in Sycamore Creek, Arizona, virtually eliminated algae and reduced invertebrate standing crop by 98% and the biota recovered in 2-3 wk.
