Assessing Nutrient Assimilation by Wetland Impoundments Across Environmental Gradients
Wetland impoundments are constructed for recreational and conservational purposes. Here, the water level can be carefully controlled, producing ideal...

Predicting the density of zooplankton subsidy to a stream with multiple impoundments using water quality parameters
Damming a stream inserts a lentic system (an impoundment or reservoir) into a lotic system, changing downstream hydrological, biogeochemical, and...

Wetland Conditions Differentially Influence Nitrogen Processing within Waterfowl Impoundments
Manipulating hydrologic conditions at the land-water interface is critical for managing wetland functions. Hydrologic manipulation to increase...

Juvenile tarpon Megalops atlanticus use of natural and managed marsh habitats in coastal South Carolina
There is a paucity of information on juvenile tarpon Megalops atlanticus habitat use at the northern edge of its distribution. Therefore, we...

Examination of freshwater drum populations at the center of their latitudinal range: implications for development of diverse recreational angling opportunities
Freshwater drum ( Aplodinotus grunniens Rafinesque, 1819) are found from Canada, through the central United States, and in Atlantic drainages of...

Low-head dams facilitate the native invasion of downstream fishes to subtropical headwater streams, China
Low-head dams are becoming a ubiquitous feature of the landscape of headwater streams. The ecological effects of low-head dams have long been...

Hydroelectric Projects: An Inevitable Challenge in Fisheries of the Temperate Himalaya
The vast Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) and myriads of rivers make the region one of the opulent hotspots of the world in terms of potential...

Invasive Alien Species Problem in the Reservoir
This chapter discusses the issue of invasive alien species in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), highlights different natural and anthropogenic...

Manipulating, managing and rehabilitating mangrove-dominated wetlands along Florida’s east coast (USA): balancing mosquito control and ecological values
In Florida, mangrove-dominated wetlands have been manipulated and managed largely for control of mosquitoes or to make way for human development...

Submergence in the Dry Season Alters Microbial Nitrogen Transformations in the Root Zone of Carex cinerascens: A Mesocosm Study in One Floodplain Lake
The increasing demand for water resources has triggered a series of water level regulation (WLR) projects, which exerts considerable effects on local...

Genomics outperforms genetics to manage mistakes in fisheries stocking of threatened species
Hatchery production and fisheries stocking is a widespread and high profile management practice because it allows recreational fisheries to continue...

Propagation of inflowing urban stormwater pulses through reservoir embayments
Flashy hydrology and high solute loads in stormflow are well-studied effects of the built environment on urban streams. The physical and chemical...

Diet of age-0 tarpon Megalops atlanticus near their northern range limit in the western Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic tarpon Megalops atlanticus is a tropical-subtropical fish that occupies mangrove and salt marsh habitats during the first year of life....

Effects of Ecological Restoration on Trophic Dynamics in Estuarine Wetlands
Ecological restoration actions to improve hydrologic conditions, including the construction of levees and freshwater release have been widely used to...

Contrasting continental patterns and drivers of taxonomic and functional turnover among fish assemblages across Brazilian reservoirs
In this paper, we investigated composition and trait turnover among fish assemblages in reservoirs distributed across major Brazilian basins, in...

Longitudinal patterns of diversity and secondary production in a large regulated river
Dams interrupt the longitudinal connectivity of rivers and consequently disrupt the structure and function of downstream communities. The Serial...

Nutrient availability reduced in older rural impoundments in coastal Bay of Fundy, Canada
The Cumberland Marsh Region (CMR), located at the head of the Bay of Fundy, is an important area for waterbird foraging, and wetland restoration and...

Reservoirs facilitate colonization of river catchments by a native invasive fish through provision of pelagic larval rearing habitat
Dams on rivers are known to facilitate the colonisation and spread of aquatic alien and native invasive species, but the actual mechanisms involved...

Loss of phytoplankton functional and taxonomic diversity induced by river regulation in a large tropical river
Human activities have disrupted the functioning of river ecosystems around the world. In the Amazon basin, hydropower expansion has affected...
