Species-specific traits predict whole-assemblage detritus processing by pond invertebrates
Functional trait diversity determines if ecosystem processes are sensitive to shifts in species abundances or composition. For example, trait...

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...

Impact of light pollution on aquatic invertebrates: Behavioral responses and ecological consequences
AbstractArtificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing global problem altering the behavior of organisms and thereby community composition and...

Resource partitioning among endangered and non-native bitterling fishes in a small pond: insights from stable isotope and gut content analyses
The population decline of the endangered bitterling species, Acheilognathus typus , following non-native bitterling invasion underscores the need to...

Pond creation and restoration: patterns of odonate colonization and community dynamics
Ponds are lentic waterbodies with a high conservation value for biodiversity that have long been overlooked by management policies. Recent...

Feeding ecology and reproductive success of the Little Bittern Ixobrychus minutus in differently managed pond habitats
Knowledge of the relationships between food habits and habitat is crucial for the assessment of habitat quality for birds. The present study...

Fluoride alters feeding in lab-bred pond snails but not in wild snails or their progeny
Increasing concentrations of fluoride in natural bodies of water due to anthropogenic activities can lead to potentially detrimental effects on...

Animal-Driven Nutrient Supply Declines Relative to Ecosystem Nutrient Demand Along a Pond Hydroperiod Gradient
In many lentic ecosystems, hydroperiod, or the duration of inundation, controls animal community composition and biomass. Although...

Pond-adjacent grass height and pond proximity to water influence predation risk of pond fish by amphibians in small fish ponds of Kakamega County, western Kenya
The study investigated predation risk to pond-reared Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus and African Catfish Clarias gariepinus by amphibians, whether...

Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels in Invertebrates
The α1, β, and α2δ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels emerged before animals, and are present in all animal genomes, including those that...

Metagenomic investigations into the microbial consortia, degradation pathways, and enzyme systems involved in the biodegradation of plastics in a tropical lentic pond sediment
The exploitation of exciting features of plastics for diverse applications has resulted in significant plastic waste generation, which negatively...

Lake browning impacts community structure and essential fatty acid content of littoral invertebrates in boreal lakes
Many lakes in the northern hemisphere are browning due to increasing concentrations of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The consequences...

Are impacts of the invasive alien plant Crassula helmsii mediated by detritus? A litter experiment in a temperate pond
Because of the high growth rates often achieved by invasive alien macrophytes, their establishment in recipient ecosystems may alter the abundance...
