Biological and ecological characteristics of invasive species: a gammarid study (2006, background): “Piscart et al. (2005) observed along a sixth-order stream section that an increase of anthropogenic salinity from 0.2 to 2.6 ‰ drastically affected the species composition of macroinvertebrate communities and promoted the establishment of salt-tolerant exotic species.”
The role of organisms in hyporheic processes: gaps in current knowledge, needs for future research and applications (2012, background): “This problem has been widely discussed for surface aquatic systems, both lakes (Gurevitch and Padilla, 2004; Nalepa et al., 2009) and rivers (Dukes and Mooney, 1999; Piscart et al., 2005, 2010, 2011; Werner and Rothhaupt, 2007; Strayer, 2010; Labat et al., in press).”
Salinisation of rivers: an urgent ecological issue. (2013, background): “Piscart et al. (2005a) registered higher diversities at intermediate (0.42e1.”
Life in the salinity gradient: Discovering mechanisms behind a new biodiversity pattern (2013, background): “…regions of the sea; however, they found strong evidence that species richness increased significantly below salinity 3, mainly through intervening/accessory freshwater taxa such as insects (i.e. chironomids and trichoptera) and oligochaetes (Perus and Bonsdorff, 2004; Piscart et al., 2005).”
