Restoration ecology that considers biotic interactions is essential if goals include restoring species. Constructed wetlands complement adjacent streams by supplying emergent aquatic insect subsidies asynchronously, extending the foraging window for terrestrial consumers #foodweb #landscapediversity

#MarineEcology #FreshwaterEcology #IntegratedAssessments #WFD #MSFD #SynthesisResearch #BigData

Why aren't more researchers publishing in society journals? Two potential reasons: 1) They're often unfamiliar to early-career researchers, and/or 2) they need better promotion, a task for all of us.
