Influence of salinity on the thermal tolerance of aquatic organisms

This study investigates how salinity affects thermal tolerance in aquatic organisms through a meta-analysis of 90 publications, finding that lower salinity increases lower temperature limits and decreases upper limits across most groups.

Metacollinia emscheri n. sp., a novel sanguicolous apostome ciliate of freshwater amphipods (Gammarus spp.)

The paper describes a new parasitic ciliate, Metacollinia emscheri, found in freshwater amphipods and confirms its placement in the Collinidae family through phylogenetic analysis.

Global thermal tolerance of freshwater invertebrates and fish

The paper compiles a thermal tolerance database for freshwater fish and invertebrates, including 5000+ records from 800+ species, to assess thermal risks under current and future environmental conditions.

Global-scale quantification of responses to anthropogenic stressors in six riverine organism groups

The paper quantifies how six riverine organism groups respond to seven anthropogenic stressors using meta-analysis across 143 datasets.
