ABSTRACT Lentic ecosystems are vulnerable to contamination by trace elements, which can accumulate and pose risks to aquatic life and human health. In a large, developing country such as Brazil, marked by vast geographic, environmental, and socioeconomic diversity, it is crucial to understand how these factors shape research on this group of ...

Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.

ABSTRACT The invasive kariba weed (Salvinia molesta) has severely degraded aquatic ecosystems in Uganda's Kyoga basin lakes and Kibimba Dam, disrupting fisheries, navigation and community livelihoods. Between 2017 and 2021, the National Agricultural Research Organisation implemented a biological control program using the host‐specific weevil ...

ABSTRACT Three‐spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have become dominant in many Baltic Sea coastal fish assemblages, yet life‐stage‐specific habitat use remains poorly understood. We surveyed shallow water habitats along the coast of Gotland, Sweden, to examine how juvenile and adult stickleback abundances relate to variables such as submersed

Species co‐occurrences rely on their ability to explore similar or distinct available resources, and possible niche overlap can prevent their presence and establishment in a given site Damselflies of the Calopterygidae family demonstrated negative co‐occurrences in streams inside and outside PAs, highlighting that their ecological similarity is ...

Brown Trout Abundance in Boreal Streams With Large Wood
ABSTRACT Large wood has been found to be a crucial component in riverine ecosystems. However, due to the heavy channelization of rivers and intensive forestry practices over the past few decades, the amount of large wood in these ecosystems has decreased worldwide. River restoration aims to mitigate the effects of channelization and restore the channel

Marsh Interspersion and Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Habitat Use
We used camera traps to measure intensity of habitat use by muskrats along a gradient of marsh interspersion to determine whether reduced interspersion, which may be linked to the invasion of Typha x glauca, may be contributing to widespread muskrat population declines.

Kaptai Lake is a developing ecosystem with a linear food web and thereby vulnerable to external influences. The apex predator, Catfish (TL‐3.364), occupied the top trophic niches, while the overabundant (B: 3.264 t/km2) Clupeid (TL‐2.56) dominated the lower trophic level in the food web. The higher values of ecotrophic efficiency for most of the groups

Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...

Through progressive flume experiments, this study demonstrated that increased bed shear stresses corresponded with increased cohesive fine sediment (<62‐μm) remobilisation depths from a representative chalk stream gravel bed. This represents some of the first scientifically robust data, which can direct revised and targeted fine sediment management in ...
