Some like it hot: Thermal preference of the groundwater amphipod Niphargus long...
Di Cicco, Mattia; Di Lorenzo, Tiziana; Fiasca, Barbara; Galmarini, Emma; Vaccarelli, Ilaria; Cerasoli, Francesco; Tabilio Di Camillo, AgostinaGroundwater is a crucial resource for humans and the environment, but its global human demand currently exceeds available volumes by 3.5 times. Climate change is expected to exacerbate this situation by increasing the frequency of droughts along with human impacts on groundwater ecosystems. Despite prior research on the quantitative effects of climate change on groundwater, the direct impacts on groundwater bio...
Effectiveness of Biomass/Abundance Comparison (ABC) Models in Assessing the Res...
Di Lorenzo, Tiziana; Fiasca, Barbara; Di Cicco, Mattia; Vaccarelli, Ilaria; Tabilio Di Camillo, Agostina; Crisante, Simone; Galassi, Diana Maria PaolaAbundance–Biomass Comparison (ABC) models, first described for marine benthic macrofauna, have been applied successfully to other marine and terrestrial/freshwater fauna but never to ecotonal communities. In particular, to our knowledge, ABC models have not been applied to hyporheic communities. This study represents the first application of ABC models to hyporheic assemblages. We aimed at testing the effective...
