Open AccessWarming underpins community turnover in temperate freshwater and terrestrial communities
Rising temperatures are leading to increased prevalence of warm-affinity species in ecosystems, known as thermophilisation. However, factors influencing variation in thermophilisation rates among taxa and ecos...

Open AccessReducing contrast agent residuals in hospital wastewater: the GREENWATER study protocol
The potential enviromental impact of iodinated (ICAs) and gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have recently come under scrutiny, considering the current nonselective wastewater treatment. However, their r...

Open AccessDisruption of ecological networks in lakes by climate change and nutrient fluctuations
Climate change interacts with local processes to threaten biodiversity by disrupting the complex network of ecological interactions. While changes in network interactions drastically affect ecosystems, how eco...

Open AccessA global database for metacommunity ecology, integrating species, traits, environment and space
The use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species compos...

Open AccessHigh dispersal levels and lake warming are emergent drivers of cyanobacterial community assembly in peri-Alpine lakes
Disentangling the relative importance of deterministic and stochastic processes in sha** natural communities is central to ecology. Studies about community assembly over broad temporal and spatial scales in ...

Homogenization of lake cyanobacterial communities over a century of climate change and eutrophication
Human impacts on biodiversity are well recognized, but uncertainties remain regarding patterns of diversity change at different spatial and temporal scales. Changes in microbial assemblages are, in particular,...

Sedimentary and egg-bank DNA from 3 European lakes reveal concurrent changes in the composition and diversity of cyanobacterial and Daphnia communities
Eutrophication generally favours the growth of cyanobacteria over eukaryotic green algae in freshwater lakes. Cyanobacteria constitute a poor food source for the waterflea Daphnia, an important primary consumer o...

Eutrophication and climate warming alter spatial (depth) co-occurrence patterns of lake phytoplankton assemblages
The composition and dynamics of plankton communities are critically affected by human-induced environmental changes. We analysed 33 years of phytoplankton monthly data collected in Lake Zurich (Switzerland), a...

The Challange of Clustering Flow Cytometry Data from Phytoplankton in Lakes
Flow cytometry (FC) devices count and measure cells in fluids in an automated procedure. In this paper we present our work in progress on the clustering of FC data. We compare standard clustering algorithms su...

Assessing triclosan-induced ecological and trans-generational effects in natural phytoplankton communities: a trait-based field method
We exposed replicated phytoplankton communities confined in semi-permeable membrane-based mesocosms to 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 μg L−1 triclosan (TCS) and placed them back in their original environment to investigate the...

Use of ion-channel modulating agents to study cyanobacterial Na+-K+ fluxes
Here we describe an experimental design aimed to investigate changes in total cellular levels of Na+ and K+ ions in cultures of freshwater filamentous cyanobacteria. Ion concentrations were measured in whole cell...
