Fluvial Denitrification Rates in an Agricultural River and Its Tributary Vary Due To Size and Season Open
Anthropogenic impacts such as land use change are increasing dissolved nitrogen (N) loading to streams and rivers, degrading downstream water quality. Denitrification, where nitrate (NO 3 − ‐N) is converted to dinitrogen gas (N 2 ), serves…

Decomposition of periodical cicada carcasses influences nutrient uptake rates in experimental streams Open
Every 17 years, Cicadidae Magicicada emerges in forests across the eastern USA, and their subsequent die-off provides a pulsed subsidy to streams, with unknown impacts on stream ecosystem function. To explore the impact of cicada subsidies…

Warming Increases Environmental <span>DNA</span> (<span>eDNA</span>) Removal Rates in Flowing Waters Open
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) for aquatic conservation is emerging, but its value is limited by our understanding of how environmental factors like temperature impact eDNA persistence. Although elevated temperatures are known to incr…

Confirming the Primacy of Light Controlling Ammonium Removal in Response to Biofilm Colonization and Shade Using Experimental Streams Open
The removal of riparian shading alters stream biogeochemical cycling by stimulating algal biofilms through the release of light limitation. Few studies have examined the combined effects of shading and biofilm growth on ammonium (NH 4 + –N…

Spatial heterogeneity in sediment phosphorus pools and phosphatase activity in a eutrophic reservoir Open
Agriculture is necessary for food production, but agricultural inputs of phosphorus (P) to waterways can lead to harmful algal blooms in downstream reservoirs. Some of the P that enters these water bodies can be stored in reservoir sedimen…

Biofilm Development, Senescence, and Benthic Substrate Influence Hyporheic Transport in Streams Open
Understanding fate and transport within fluvial systems requires accurate modeling of breakthrough curve (BTC) tails, which often display non-Fickian behaviors. However, it is unclear how anomalous processes relate to the physical and biol…

You are welcome here: A practical guide to diversity, equity, and inclusion for undergraduates embarking on an ecological research experience Open
As we build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture in the ecological research community, we must work to support new ecologists by empowering them with the knowledge, tools, validation, and sense of belonging in ecology to succee…

<strong>You are Welcome Here: Considerations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Embracing New Ecologists</strong> Open
Ecology is working to face its colonial roots and institutional inequities. As we build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) institutions we must work to support new ecologists by empowering them with the knowledge and tools to suc…

Variation in Stream Chemistry Across the Kansas Precipitation Gradient Open
How do stream order, land use, and stream position within the precipitation gradient across Kansas affect stream chemistry? Land use will drive changes in stream chemistry that are biologically driven (e.g., DOC, NO3-), whereas stream orde…
