Depth distribution and depth adaptation of microbiomes in juvenile and adult scleractinian corals (Pocillopora verrucosa) in the central South China Sea
Environmental conditions at different water depths on tropical atolls are substantially different, but few studies have investigated the depth...

Linear water column stratification and euphotic depth determine the number of phytoplankton taxa that create biomass peaks in a hypertrophic oxbow lake
The mixing regime, the spatial distribution of nutrients and light determine the distribution of phytoplankton in lakes to a large extent. Linear...

Integrating depth-dependent protist dynamics and microbial interactions in spring succession of a freshwater reservoir
BackgroundProtists are essential contributors to eukaryotic diversity and exert profound influence on carbon fluxes and energy transfer in...
-
An inexpensive method for the measurement of photosynthetically active radiation profiles in waterbodies
We developed an inexpensive light instrument (ILI) and protocol for the measurement of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at discrete depths...

Ecosystem changes in eight Danish lakes after zebra mussel invasion
Invasion of zebra mussels ( Dreissena polymorpha ) can have profound effects on lake ecosystems. We investigated the overall ecological effects after...

Breeding waterbird species as ecological indicators of shifts from turbid to clear water conditions in northwest European shallow eutrophic lakes
We used biological and physical responses at 71 shallow waterbodies with contrasting nutrient levels undergoing recovery from eutrophication to...

Submerged macrophytes in Danish lakes: impact of morphological and chemical factors on abundance and species richness
We analysed long-term monitoring data on submerged macrophytes and water chemistry from 666 Danish lakes > 1 hectare and mean depth < 3 m,...

Assessment of pollution state of Beira Lake in Sri Lanka using water quality index, trophic status, and principal component analysis
Beira Lake, in the heart of Colombo City in Sri Lanka, is a prominent landmark, serving a variety of important services such as flood control, and...

Depth-specific benthic specialization of Arctic char in an oligotrophic subarctic lake
Fishes consume prey from across both benthic and pelagic habitats, thereby stabilizing the food webs of freshwater lakes. How fish exploit vertical...

Extreme drought conditions interact with urbanisation, affecting hydrological regimes and water quality in temperate lowland streams
Since 2020, the Pampas ecoregion, a highly productive area of Argentina, has endured its most severe drought in the past century. Our understanding...

Functional responses of zooplankton communities to depth, trophic status, and ion content in mine pit lakes
Functional traits can be used to identify various ecosystem processes that are influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors. We tested the...

An empirical approach for deriving specific inland water quality parameters from high spatio-spectral resolution image
Inland lake of Vembanad has benefited from continuous monitoring to evaluate water quality which has declined due to increased anthropogenic...

Identifying priority areas using a multispecies approach for the conservation of marine megafauna species vulnerable to bycatch in commercial gillnet fisheries
Bycatch is one of the main causes of mortality among marine megafauna around the world. In the coastal waters of southern Brazil, bycatch in gillnet...

Winter severity shapes spring plankton succession in a small, eutrophic lake
Springtime in temperate lakes is characterized by a phytoplankton bloom, followed by a grazing crustacean zooplankton bloom. Timing and species...

Co-occurrence and potential resource partitioning between oligochaetes and chironomid larvae in a sediment depth gradient
Although detritivorous Tubificinae and chironomid larvae are important groups in functioning of both, fresh and brackish water ecosystem, their...

Are rotifer indices suitable for assessing the trophic status in slow-flowing waters of canals?
Zooplankton indicators based on rotifers (TSI ROT ) and an indicator based on Secchi disk visibility (TSI SD ) were used to assess trophic state changes...

Metagenomics Analysis to Investigate the Microbial Communities and Their Functional Profile During Cyanobacterial Blooms in Lake Varese
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms represent a natural phenomenon caused by a mass proliferation of photosynthetic prokaryotic microorganisms in water...

Development and spatial application of a submerged aquatic vegetation model for Cootes Paradise Marsh, Ontario, Canada
Cootes Paradise Marsh (CP) is an urban wetland and is part of the Hamilton Harbour Area of Concern (AOC). Anthropogenic stressors have degraded the...

Dreissena in the Great Lakes: what have we learned in 30 years of invasion
We summarized over 30 years of research on zebra and quagga mussels in the Laurentian Great Lakes and compared with data from European and North...

Niche partitioning among odontocetes in a marine biogeographic transition zone of the western South Atlantic Ocean
Toothed cetaceans represent a diverse and important component in poorly studied pelagic food webs. We used the variation in δ 13 C and δ 15 N values in...
