Short-term effects of macrophyte removal on aquatic biodiversity in rivers and lakes.
Journal of Environmental Management, 2022 Mass development of macrophytes is an increasing problem in many aquatic systems worldwide. Dense mats of macrophytes can negatively affect activities like boating, fishing or hydropower production and one of the management measures often applied is ...

Effects of Small Hydropower Stations Along Rivers on the Distribution of Aquatic Biodiversity
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 At present, there is little research on the impact of small hydropower stations on aquatic biodiversity. In order to investigate whether the existence of small hydropower stations has a significant impact on the aquatic biodiversity of their watersheds ...

Freshwater Biodiversity and Aquatic Insect Diversification [PDF]
Annual Review of Entomology, 2014 Inland waters cover less than 1% of Earth's surface but harbor more than 6% of all insect species: Nearly 100,000 species from 12 orders spend one or more life stages in freshwater. Little is known about how this remarkable diversity arose, although allopatric speciation and ecological adaptation are thought to be primary mechanisms.

Multiple co-occurrent alien invaders constrain aquatic biodiversity in rivers.
Ecological Applications, 2021 A greater understanding and effective management of biological invasions is a priority for biodiversity conservation globally. Many freshwater ecosystems are experiencing the colonisation and spread of multiple co-occurrent alien species.

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Global declines in biodiversity have the potential to affect ecosystem function, and vice versa, in both terrestrial and aquatic ecological realms. While many studies have considered biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) relationships at local scales ...

Pseudobarbus outeniqua sp. nov., a new redfin species (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) from the Cape Fold Ecoregion of South Africa [PDF]
ZooKeysPrevious DNA-based studies identified four genetic lineages within Pseudobarbus afer: (i) the Mandela lineage confined to the Sundays, Swartkops, and Baakens river systems, (ii) the Krom lineage endemic to the Krom River system, (iii) the St Francis ...
