Unveiling the complexity and ecological function of aquatic macrophyte-animal networks in coastal ecosystems. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2022 Network theory offers innovative tools to explore the complex ecological mechanisms regulating species associations and interactions. Although interest in ecological networks has grown steadily during the last two decades, the application of network ...

Anthropogenic Stressors in Upland Rivers: Aquatic Macrophyte Responses. A Case Study from Bulgaria [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Upland rivers across Europe still exhibit undisturbed conditions and represent a treasure that we cannot afford to lose. We hypothesize that the combination of pristine and modified conditions could demonstrate biological responses along the stressor ...

Dietary habits of the black-necked swan Cygnus melancoryphus (Birds: Anatidae) and variability of the aquatic macrophyte cover in the Río Cruces wetland, southern Chile. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The black-necked swan Cygnus melancoryphus is an aquatic herbivorous bird whose dietary habits depend on the dominance and accessibility of macrophyte banks in shallow areas of coastal and limnetic wetlands in southern South America.

Generalist phyllosphere taxa dominate microbial communities on macrophytes across a natural salinity gradient [PDF]
Environmental MicrobiomeBackground Shallow coastal habitats are characterized by diverse macrophytes and often feature steep abiotic gradients, including salinity variations, which can shape the leaf- surface epi-microbiome (phyllosphere).
