The structure and biomass of aquatic invertebrate communities play a crucial role in the matter dynamics streams. However, is rarely quantified ecological assessments streams, little known about environmental anthropogenic factors that influence it. In this study, we aimed to identify are associated with through monitoring 25 streams across Germany. We identified invertebrates, assigned them taxonomic trait-based groups, using image-based analysis. found insecticide pressure generally reduced abundance insecticide-vulnerable populations (R
