• Anthropogenically impacted lake catchments in Denmark reveal low microplastic pollution 

      Kallenbach, Emilie; Friberg, Nikolai; Lusher, Amy; Jacobsen, Dean; Hurley, Rachel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Microplastics have been detected in lake environments globally, including in remote regions. Agricultural and populated areas are known to congregate several inputs and release pathways for microplastic. This study ...
    • Effects of pollution-induced changes in oxygen conditions scaling up from individuals to ecosystems in a tropical river network 

      Eriksen, Tor Erik; Jacobsen, Dean; Demars, Benoît O.L.; Brittain, John E; Søli, Geir; Friberg, Nikolai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Anthropogenic inputs of nutrients and organic matter are common in tropical lowland rivers while little is known about the pollution-induced changes in oxygen availability and respiratory performance of ectotherms in these ...

      Motivation Aquatic insects comprise 64% of freshwater animal diversity and are widely used as bioindicators to assess water quality impairment and freshwater ecosystem health, as well as to test ecological hypotheses. ...
    • A global perspective on the application of riverine macroinvertebrates as biological indicators in Africa, South-Central America, Mexico and Southern Asia 

      Eriksen, Tor Erik; Brittain, John E; Søli, Geir; Jacobsen, Dean; Goethals, Peter; Friberg, Nikolai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The aim of this study is to generate a first global overview of pressures and methods used to assess the environmental quality of rivers and streams using macroinvertebrates. In total, 314 peer-review studies were reviewed, ...
    • Macroinvertebrate communities along the main stem and tributaries of a pre-Alpine river: composition responds to altitude, richness does not 

      Jacobsen, Dean; Wiberg-Larsen, Peter; Brodersen, Klaus P.; Hansen, Søren Birkholm; Lindegaard, Claus; Friberg, Nikolai; Dall, Peter C.; Kirkegaard, Jørn; Skriver, Jens; Toman, Mihael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We collected quantitative macroinvertebrate samples and measured environmental and geographical parameters at 13 sites: six along the main stem and seven in tributaries close to the main channel over a 700 m gradient in ...
    • Plastic recycling plant as a point source of microplastics to sediment and macroinvertebrates in a remote stream 

      Kallenbach, Emilie; Eriksen, Tor Erik; Hurley, Rachel; Jacobsen, Dean; Singdahl-Larsen, Cecilie; Friberg, Nikolai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Microplastic is now ubiquitous in freshwater, sediment and biota, globally. This is as a consequence of inputs from, for example, waste mismanagement, effluents from wastewater treatment plants and surface runoff from ...
    • Temperature and spatial connectivity drive patterns in freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity across the Arctic 

      Lento, Jennifer; Culp, Joseph M; Levenstein, Brianna; Aroviita, Jukka; Baturina, Maria A.; Bogan, Daniel; Brittain, John E; Chin, Krista; Christoffersen, Kirsten S.; Docherty, Catherine; Friberg, Nikolai; Ingimarsson, Finnur; Jacobsen, Dean; Lau, Danny Chun Pong; Loskutova, Olga A.; Milner, Alexander; Mykrä, Heikki; Novichkova, Anna A.; Ólafsson, Jón S.; Schartau, Ann Kristin; Shaftel, Rebecca; Goedkoop, Willem (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      1. Warming in the Arctic is predicted to change freshwater biodiversity through loss of unique taxa and northward range expansion of lower latitude taxa. Detecting such changes requires establishing circumpolar baselines ...
