We applied the Elements of Metacommunity Structure (EMS) framework to macrophyte communities across coastal wetlands in southern Brazil, identifying distinct distribution patterns among functional groups. Our results show that environmental and climatic factors shape these patterns differently, with emergent species forming Clementsian communities and ...

A global estimator of C and N isotope baselines for fresh waters
Abstract Baselines are the pebbles in the shoes of isotope ecologists. The extreme variability of the isotope composition of resources at the base of food webs governs the spatial differences of consumers' isotope composition, so that isotope‐inferred trophic properties can be compared across ecosystems only after correction for baseline effects ...

Bioaccumulation of nickel by aquatic macrophytes
Aquatic plants are being used successfully for the accumulation of trace elements in natural and constructed wetlands. Four aquatic plants were examined for their ability to remove heavy metals from contaminated water. In our study, bioaccumulation abilities of Lemna, Apium, Ceratophyllum and Groenlandia species were found.

Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective
ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...

Disentangling the Components Shaping Aquatic Richness Over Spatial Scales in Extreme Climatic Events
ABSTRACT Species richness in a region can be partitioned into three components: (1) spatial aggregation of individuals, (2) variation in total individual density and (3) species abundance distribution (SAD). However, it remains unclear how the influence of these components on richness changes under extreme climatic events.

Retrogressive Thaw Slumps Produce a Changing Disturbance Regime for Arctic Stream Invertebrates
Climate change is causing permafrost to thaw, resulting in the formation of large craters in the ground called thaw slumps, which deposit sediments and nutrients into rivers and continually impact stream ecosystems over time. We returned to slump impacted streams 10 years after an initial sample period and found that slumps permanently change streams ...

Resilience of riparian spiders to floods: evidence from a mesocosm study
Mesocosm experiment to assess the impact of flood duration on flood‐naïve riparian spider communities. In May, spider richness decreased with flood duration, while in June, flood duration increased abundance, richness and promoted wetland specialists. Flood‐naïve riparian spiders unexpectedly appear highly resilient to flooding.
