Effects of water column depth and sediment base area on the bioturbation efficacy of freshwater operculate snails
The bioturbation potential of three freshwater operculate snails, Filopaludina bengalensis , Gabbia orcula and Melanoides tuberculata, was compared,...

Microbial Composition of Freshwater Marsh Sediment Responds more Strongly to Microcosm Seawater Addition than Simulated Nitrate or Phosphate Eutrophication
As sea level rise impacts coastal wetlands, saltmarsh will overtake coastal freshwater marsh in many areas, but changes in the sediment microbiome in...

Differences in desiccation tolerance of two Australian freshwater mussel species with different life history characteristics is temperature dependent
Mass die-offs, reduced species richness and local extinctions of freshwater mussels have resulted from river drying events, which often co-occur with...

Spatio-temporal assessment of the relationship between freshwater invertebrates and environmental characteristics in Vendée wetlands, France
Freshwater invertebrates and zooplankton (FIZ) play a key role in freshwater ecosystems and in food webs, but there is little research on their life...

Freshwater Meiofauna—A Biota with Different Rules?
Great divergences arise when comparing the ecology of meiofauna in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Emphasizing the main differences between...

The effects of physical disturbance and sediment refuge on the growth of young native freshwater mussels Elliptio complanata (Eastern Elliptio)
Native freshwater mussels form a critical component of benthic foodwebs, but are endangered worldwide, making their study an important conservation...

“Safe” Sequestration of Additional Phosphorus in Freshwater Wetland and Salt Marsh at Coastal Zone in the Yellow River Delta
Coastal wetlands can intercept and retain P from upland sources, limiting excessive P into coastal water. However, factors like hydrologic management...

Status of Microplastic Pollution in the Freshwater Ecosystems
Only 7% of the total plastic produced worldwide is recycled, allowing the majority of plastics to build in the environment and pose a tremendous...

A comparative study on the bioturbation ability of seven freshwater snail species
An assessment of the bioturbation potential of seven freshwater snail species was made in a laboratory microcosm study. Two non-operculate species, Ind...

Spatial distribution of sediment bacterial communities from São Francisco River headwaters is influenced by human land-use activities and seasonal climate shifts
Riverbed sediments are dynamic freshwater environments colonized by a great diversity of microorganisms which play important roles in supporting...

Sediment ingestion in the invasive apple snail Pomacea canaliculata
Sediment represents both a habitat and a trophic resource for many aquatic organisms, commonly known as deposit feeders. One of the most important...

Ecotoxicology Methodology of Sediment Toxicity in the Reservoir
The reservoir sediment can act as a drain and contaminant source. Once contaminants are released into the water column, they can be toxic for biota....

Interactions between sediment characteristics and oxygen conditions at the sediment–water interface of reservoirs: influences on nutrient dynamics and eutrophication
Dissolved oxygen (DO) level at the sediment–water interface is one key factor controlling redox-sensitive processes, such as nutrient cycling....
