“…In the sediments, these trace metals become bioavailable, and bioaccumulation of metals in C. bellicosus could be related to the feeding habits of the species, the rates of absorption and depuration, the environmental conditions, the bioavailability of the metals, the fine texture of the sediments, CaCO 3 content, and organic matter content (Jerome and Chukwuka, 2016;Álvaro et al, 2016;Chuan et al, 2017;Genç and Yilmaz, 2017;Çoğun et al, 2017;Annabi et al, 2018;Baki et al, 2018;Durmus et al, 2018;Saber et al, 2018;Hao et al, 2019;Cruz et al, 2021). C. bellicosus is an omnivorous species that induces bioturbation of sediments by mixing and resuspending the organic matter associated with the sediment, improving the bioavailability of trace metals (Andrade et al, 2020;Truchet et al, 2020), which are ingested and bioaccumulated in different tissues of this crab.…”

This study was carried out in the Navachiste coastal lagoon, Mexico, surrounded by intensive agricultural and aquaculture activities that cause environmental pollution by the deposition of trace metal residues in the sediments of this coastal lagoon. The trace metals are bioaccumulated by benthic organisms such as the blue swimming warrior crab, Callinectes bellicosus, which inhabits this lagoon and is consumed by humans. Ninety-five C. bellicosus edible tissue samples were collected (April 2014–January 2015). The extraction procedure of the trace metals in edible tissue samples was carried out by acid digestion with nitric acid. Based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States, two indices were used to measure health risk: the estimated daily intake (EDI) and the target hazard quotient (THQ). The hazard index (HI) was used to calculate the probability of adverse carcinogenic risk and the target hazard quotient per sample (MHI) to calculate the probability of developing a carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic risk. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences among trace metal concentrations (p < 0.01), but all trace metal concentrations in the edible tissues of C. bellicosus were higher than the maximum residual limits (MRLs). The highest EDI was for Zn, Fe, and Cu, showing that the consumption of these crabs might represent health risks. The THQ >1 was for Ni, Zn, Cd, and Cu, and the HI = 16 revealed the risk of C. bellicosus for high-level consumers. The MHI showed that 98% of samples presented a THQ >1, implying a high rate of bioaccumulation of trace metals by the crabs independent of the sampling site in the NAV. The presence of trace metals in the edible tissue of crabs reflects contamination by trace metals, and the indices results mean that the NAV lagoon is constantly polluted with trace metal residues by neighboring agriculture and aquaculture activities. These trace metal residues are being bioaccumulated in the edible tissues of C. bellicosus due to its feeding habits, resulting in a health risk if its consumption is high, including carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks.

“…The free carbohydrate and glycogen contents were assayed with the Anthrone method. Additionally to Andrade et al (2020), we assayed the free carbohydrates as suggested by Foray et al (2012). Briefly, we collected 150 μl of the initial supernatant of each insect sample into a microplate well and evaporated the well contents for 120 min at room temperature until a volume of approximately 10 μl was reached.…”

“…The insects were placed in phosphate buffer (300 and 600 μl for replicates below and above 500 μg, respectively), homogenised in a bead-beating tube for 1 min 30 s at 25 Hz, and centrifuged for 5 min at 500 g and 4°C. Protein and glycogen assays were realised according to Andrade et al (2020). The total protein content was assayed with the Bradford method (Bradford, 1976) using bovine serum albumin as a standard.…”

Dispersal is a determining step in the life cycle of insects and a key factor of their energy budget. If the body stores of terrestrial insects are relatively well‐documented, those of merolimnic insects (i.e., with aquatic larvae and terrestrial winged adults) remain poorly investigated. We assayed the body stores (protein, carbohydrate and lipid contents) of 18 families of merolimnic insects, encompassing a wide diversity of biological and ecological traits. We highlighted allometry between body stores and mass. The proportion of triglyceride and free carbohydrate relatively decreases with an increase in absolute insect mass, whereas protein and glycogen contents are proportional. We found a significant effect of insect order, Diptera having relatively more proteins than Trichoptera. For swarming taxa, males have relatively more triglycerides than their conspecific female. Passive dispersers are characterised by higher protein and glycogen contents Each body store was associated with specific life‐history traits, emphasising the importance of considering each body store independently to better understand the associated functions. Dispersal strategies seem to be the main structuring factor underlying body store patterns of merolimnic insects, being significantly associated with the variation in adjusted triglycerides (30%), proteins (21%), glycogen (29%) and free carbohydrates (17%). However, our study estimated the role of flight only indirectly through the biological traits of insects. Future works should focus on identifying which substrates are used for flight, by comparing the proportion of body stores before and after flight, as well as protein identification to distinguish proteins associated with flight or reproduction. These further studies will help researchers in understanding the link between body stores of emerging merolimnic insects and the various facets of their ecology.

“…The amount of fine sediments stored in the 2 dam reservoirs was estimated as 1,800,000 m 3 (IDRA, 2012). A small part of the reservoir was contaminated with heavy metals (Andrade et al, 2020), but these sediments were dredged and safely stored outside the riverbed before the removal. The most upstream dam-Vezins Dam (36 m height)was removed in 2019 after 1 year of regular decrease of the water level in the reservoir, whereas the second dam-Roche-qui-Boit Dam (16 m height)-was completely removed in 2022 (see Dézerald et al, 2023 for details).…”

The removal of the two dams on the Sélune River since 2019 has led to profound changes in the aquatic ecosystem. Lentic habitats bordered by forest had shifted to new conditions (running water and sparsely vegetated riverbanks) therefore shaping organisms’ assemblies. We studied how the reestablishment of aquatic lotic habitats in interaction with riparian vegetation could mediate the restoration of important ecological functions in the new river. Six stations located along the river continuum were surveyed for 3 years after dam removal: two control stations upstream the former reservoir, three restored stations within the former reservoir, and one control station downstream. We monitored physico-chemical characteristics, phytobenthos biomass and the river’s benthic metabolism, and assessed the functional composition of macroinvertebrate communities. We compared the recorded variables among upstream, downstream and restored sampling stations. We observed a rapid recolonization by invertebrates, but a still low phytobenthic primary production in restored stations. Such a low primary productivity was also reflected in the functional composition of invertebrate communities. Three years after dam removal, there was still a significant time lag between communities recovery and expected ecosystem functioning restoration. We observed a quick colonization by aquatic running-water invertebrate communities of new lotic reaches, but a slower recovery of important ecological functions rates such as those observed in control stations.
