Littoral invertebrates associated with aquatic plants and bioassessment of ecological status in Lake Bracciano (Central Italy)

Journal of Limnology, 2005
Lake Bracciano is a large and deep volcanic lake which plays an unquestionable role for drawing water source and for fishing and recreational activities. The existence of a project aimed at increasing the amount of water drawn from the lake suggested the

Vitality of aquatic plants and microbial activity of sediment in an oligotrophic lake (Lake Bohinj, Slovenia)

Journal of Limnology, 2011
The vitality of eight macrophyte species and the microbial activity of sediment in an oligotrophic lake (Lake Bohinj, Slovenia) were studied via the terminal electron transport system (ETS) activity of mitochondria. The levels of ETS activity of vascular

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3842-3852, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Mexican Freshwater Fish: Identifying Conservation Priorities and High‐Risk Areas for Fisheries Under Climate Change

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish are essential components of aquatic ecosystems, providing key ecological functions and supporting livelihoods. Climate change poses a significant threat to freshwater biodiversity; consequently, both its conservation and the food security it sustains may be at risk.

Stable isotope evidence for trophic overlap of sympatric Mexican Lake Chapala silversides (Teleostei: Atherinopsidae: Chirostoma spp.)

Neotropical Ichthyology
We explore the trophic role that a diverse sympatric group of fishes in the genus Chirostoma play in a large, shallow lake in central Mexico, Lake Chapala.

All Organisms Can Be Anesthetized, but There's No Point?

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Because of their interest in medicine, most studies on anesthesia have historically focused on the nervous systems of animals. This has often led to the neglect of the fact that all life forms have the potential to be anesthetized. Anesthetics target proteins, such as four‐domain voltage‐dependent Na+/Ca2⁺ channels (4D‐NaV/CaV) and glutamate ...

Recreational land use contributes to the loss of marine biodiversity

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 1758-1773, October 2024.
Abstract Coastal areas are at the centre of human–nature relationship, shaped by recreation, tourism and aesthetic values. However, socioeconomic drivers of biodiversity change in coastal areas have received less attention. Soft sediment seafloors support diverse species communities and contribute to ecosystem functionality.
