Seasonal sampling was conducted in seven small hilltop streams, their downstream large streams, and groundwater from surrounding areas. Stream waters were oxygenated (dissolved oxygen percentage = 30–136), favouring aerobic remineralisation of organic matter within the streams. DIC concentrations varied seasonally, ranging from 6 to 2838 µM in small streams and 44 to 2165 µM in large streams, with HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> identified as the dominant DIC species. In intermittent streams, DIC levels were primarily regulated by carbonate rock weathering, as indicated by ΔDIC/ΔCa<sup>2+</sup> ratios, with evidence for enhanced weathering during the post-monsoon period. DIC concentrations were largely independent of stream size. Analysis of concentration-discharge relationships revealed chemostatic behaviour during the monsoon and chemodynamic patterns during the dry season. Isotopic analysis (δ<sup>13</sup>C-DIC) in large streams during the post-monsoon period highlighted significant DIC inputs from aerobic organic matter respiration, driven by terrestrial C<sub>3</sub> plant material and sewage. These findings underscore the complex interplay of hydrological, geochemical, and biogeochemical processes governing DIC dynamics in tropical mountainous catchments.

The long-term population responses of the stonefly <i>Nemoura cinerea</i> (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) to heat and drought are assessed by linking antecedent seasonal meteorological data to 42 years of abundance data from streams in the Netherlands. The mechanisms of resilience that enable <i>N. cinerea</i> to withstand these stressors during its transition from juvenile to adult stages are studied in a microcosm experiment on late-stage nymphs. Results from modelling long-term population responses to antecedent climate variables and observed responses in experimental microcosms show that temperature, and to a lesser extent drought, have negative impacts on <i>N. cinerea</i> fitness and abundance. Nonetheless, the species’ abundance has still modestly increased over the last four decades. This discrepancy may result from general water quality improvements, an increase in intermittent sites or altered biotic interactions due to increased intermittency, reducing competition and predation by less resilient species. Thus, even species apparently less sensitive to climate change experience harmful effects, though these appear to be offset by altered biotic and abiotic conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55489,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Sciences","volume":"87 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00027-025-01230-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145170185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These results highlight the importance of multilevel modeling in water quality assessments, demonstrating that watershed characteristics can amplify or constrain land use impacts on stream ecosystems.

There has been increased interest in using biofilm FAs as a proxy for characterizing food webs, dietary sources, energy transfer, trophic relationships within ecosystems, and stream integrity assessment. However, new knowledge is required to validate the use of fatty acids as biomarkers of water quality. The objective of this study was to determine whether stream water quality degradation, in particular nutrient enrichment, affects the fatty acid composition of periphytic biofilms. We conducted a large-scale field study in 56 natural streams across Southern Quebec (Canada) in the summers of 2019 and 2020. The studied streams represented a water quality gradient as indicated by 5-year historical physico-chemistry data collected during the summer seasons. Overall, we did not observe strong relationships between nutrients or general water quality indices and periphytic biofilm fatty acid composition. However, proportions of total polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) and long-chain PUFAs (LC-PUFAs) gradually increased with nutrients and as a function of general water quality degradation. In addition, we observed decreased proportions of heterotrophic marker fatty acids and increased proportions of diatom marker fatty acids with increased nutrient concentrations and general water quality degradation. Our results suggest nutrient enrichment and water quality may shape stream periphytic biofilm fatty acid composition and thereby have an impact on the nutritional quality of the basal resources in natural streams. However, our findings suggest that, although periphytic fatty acid composition may represent a valuable tool to explore changes in the nutritional quality of basal resources as a response to stress, nutrient effects on FA composition may be masked or affected by interactions with multiple environmental factors. More research is thus required to effectively account for natural environmental variations before recommending and/or considering FAs as a complementary tool for routine stream biomonitoring.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55489,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Sciences","volume":"87 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145057712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the impacts of two invasive species, the Chinese mystery snail (<i>Cipangopaludina chinensis</i>) and northern crayfish (<i>Faxonius virilis</i>), in Alberta’s reservoir ecosystems. These species, originally from Asia and Canada’s eastern regions, respectively, have established populations in Alberta, raising concerns about their effects on local aquatic food webs. Using stable isotope analysis across five reservoirs with varying invasive species’ presence, we assessed shifts in trophic structure, resource use, and isotopic niche overlap among native and invasive species. We show that reservoirs with invasive species had significant changes in food web length, trophic diversity, and isotopic niche overlap, especially in systems where both species coexisted. Notably, both invasive species reduced macrophyte availability, or availability of isotopically similar resources, leading to shifts in fish diets toward higher trophic levels and affecting their trophic positions. Additionally, niche overlap between the two invasive species suggests potential competition for resources, with northern crayfish possibly predating on Chinese mystery snail in resource-scarce environments. These results indicate that invasive species’ presence can significantly impact trophic structures, leading to competitive exclusion, changes in fish feeding strategies, and broader ecosystem productivity alterations.
