Weiss M, Leese F
Biodivers Data J . 2025 Mar; 13:e141997. PMID: 40026901
Background: In urban river systems, fragmentation of habitats and in-stream dispersal barriers play a major role in shaping the population genetic structure of freshwater macroinvertebrate species. In small, fragmented populations,...

Schreiner V, Link M, Amelung G, Ohler K, Salis R, Leese F, et al.
Glob Chang Biol . 2025 Feb; 31(2):e70085. PMID: 39945359
Fungal communities are critical for leaf decomposition, a central ecosystem function in streams. A wide range of anthropogenic stressors can alter their structure and function (i.e., leaf decomposition). Additionally, fungal...

Macher T, Beermann A, Arle J, Foerster J, Greyer M, Mora D, et al.
Water Res . 2024 Dec; 272:122987. PMID: 39708381
The ecological state of aquatic ecosystems is systematically monitored using various bioindicators in many countries worldwide. In the European Union, freshwater biomonitoring is the central component of the EU Water...

Sinclair J, Buchner D, Gessner M, Muller J, Pauls S, Stoll S, et al.
Conserv Biol . 2024 Dec; :e14425. PMID: 39628456
Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing...

Weiss M, Lorenz A, Feld C, Leese F
Ecol Evol . 2024 Nov; 14(11):e70575. PMID: 39559469
Worldwide, humans have strongly altered river networks. Key changes resulted in modified hydromorphology, poor habitat quality and availability, migration barriers, and pollution. Restoration measures aim at mitigating anthropogenic stressors and...

Macher T, Arle J, Beermann A, Frank L, Hupalo K, Koschorreck J, et al.
PeerJ . 2024 Oct; 12:e18016. PMID: 39465159
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a promising approach to assess biodiversity and derive ecological status classes from water samples. However, a limitation of eDNA surveys is that detected...

Buchner D, Sinclair J, Ayasse M, Beermann A, Buse J, Dziock F, et al.
Mol Ecol Resour . 2024 Oct; 25(1):e14023. PMID: 39364584
Mitigating ongoing losses of insects and their key functions (e.g. pollination) requires tracking large-scale and long-term community changes. However, doing so has been hindered by the high diversity of insect...

David G, Pimentel I, Rehsen P, Vermiert A, Leese F, Gessner M
Sci Total Environ . 2024 Jun; 943:173669. PMID: 38839005
A multitude of anthropogenic stressors impact biological communities and ecosystem processes in urban streams. Prominent among them are salinization, increased temperature, and altered flow regimes, all of which can affect...

Pimentel I, Baikova D, Buchner D, Burfeid Castellanos A, David G, Deep A, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2024 Mar; 926:171849. PMID: 38537828
Urban streams are exposed to a variety of anthropogenic stressors. Freshwater salinization is a key stressor in these ecosystems that is predicted to be further exacerbated by climate change, which...

Hempel C, Buchner D, Mack L, Brasseur M, Tulpan D, Leese F, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2023 Dec; 14:1217750. PMID: 38075934
Introduction: Microbes are increasingly (re)considered for environmental assessments because they are powerful indicators for the health of ecosystems. The complexity of microbial communities necessitates powerful novel tools to derive conclusions...
