Changes in native fish communities in response to the presence of alien brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) in four lakes (Poland)
The aim of the study was to determine changes in the abundance of Ameiurus nebulosus and native fish in four lakes after 4–7 years. It was...

Spring and autumn rotifer community structure differentiates shallow water bodies in two European ecoregions: Poland and Croatia
Rotifer structure may serve as predictor of environmental features, including temperate subclimates between water bodies. The difference in latitude...

Changes in algal communities in different habitats and environmental variables during an atypical drought period in a marginal lake to a river
Climate change is changing the duration and intensity of dry and rainy periods, influencing the dynamics of algal communities in freshwater...

Mass removal efficiencies in water and consequences after a river diversion into coastal wetlands: second thoughts
Salinity control, nutrient additions, and sediment supply were directly or indirectly the rationale for a $220 million coastal wetland restoration...

Trophic and saprobic diatom-based indices are not indicating the same ecological status in a shallow lake, Türkiye
This study aimed to assess the ecological health of a RAMSAR site lake by leveraging diatoms as ecological indicators. Utilizing six trophic and four...

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...

Effects of water level fluctuations on the trophic state of a connected lacustrine system (Southern Andes, Patagonia, Argentina): applicability of the CDOM method as a tool for monitoring of eutrophication
Hydrological connectivity plays a central role in lake functioning and is strongly influenced by water level fluctuations (WLFs), which occur...

Can grazing and/or nutrient excretion by the native bivalve Diplodon parallelopipedon (Hyriidae) boost phytoplankton-cyanobacterial development?
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are common in freshwater ecosystems and promote poor water quality. Toxins released by cyanobacteria affect animals and...
