Factors affecting the distribution patterns of aquatic macrophytes
Limnological Review, 2014 Aquatic macrophytes constitute important components of many freshwater ecosystems. The manifold role of aquatic macrophytes in freshwater habitats is closely linked to their distribution, which in turn depends on a myriad of factors.

Evidence on Night Movements of Macroinvertebrates to Macrophytes in a Pampean Stream [PDF]
, 2014 Nocturnal invertebrate abundance peaks in lotic systems are usually associated to drift, however, diel migrations other than drift may be important in slow-flowing systems.

Arsenic accumulation by edible aquatic macrophytes
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2014 Edible aquatic macrophytes grown in arsenic (As)-contaminated soil and sediment were investigated to determine the extent of As accumulation and potential risk to humans when consumed. Nasturtium officinale (watercress) and Diplazium esculentum (warabi) are two aquatic macrophytes grown and consumed in Hawaii. Neither has been assessed for potential to
