Taxonomic and functional trait variation along a gradient of ammonium contamination in the hyporheic zone of a Mediterranean stream

Taxonomic and functional trait variation along a gradient of ammonium contamination in the hyporheic zone of a Mediterranean stream

Ammonium has detrimental effects on the survival and physiology of freshwater invertebrates, however, the effects of ammonium on the functionality of hyporheic invertebrate assemblages have never been investigated. In this study, we applied a mixed (taxonomy- and trait-based) approach to explore the...
