Acute toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in Daphnia magna and Pontogammarus maeoticus [PDF]
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO2) are the world's second most widely consumed nanomaterial and large quantities of this material enters the aquatic ecosystem annually.

ABSTRACT Tropical freshwater systems host diverse and functionally important zooplankton communities that are increasingly threatened by multiple stressors. Here, we assessed how land‐use disturbance, local environmental conditions and macrophyte structure influence zooplankton richness, abundance and composition in Amazonian ponds and streams.

Early‐life temperature drives recruitment success in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) populations
Abstract Interannual fluctuations in the abundance of young‐of‐the‐year (YOY) European perch (Perca fluviatilis) were studied in two large French peri‐alpine lakes using a 12‐year dataset of late summer hydroacoustic surveys. Previous research has highlighted the importance of temperature.

ABSTRACT Natural food webs in freshwater pond ecosystems provide an important nutritional foundation for cyprinid aquaculture, yet information on their protein and amino acid composition remains fragmented. This review synthesized published data from 30 studies (1950–2026) reporting protein and indispensable amino acid (IAA) composition of freshwater ...

Distribution and abundance of Cladocera, Copepoda and impacts of alien species in the southwestern Caspian Sea during 1996-2014 [PDF]
The Caspian Sea ecosystem has been suffered from many problems since 1980s. Owing to the significance of zooplankton communities in marine ecosystems, the state of the fluctuations of Copepoda and Cladocera species and their relationship with Ctenophora ...

Response of the Diet Composition of Carassius auratus to Water Quality in Dianchi Lake, China
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between the diet composition of fish and water quality is significant for assessing fish responses to habitat changes. However, due to the complexity and diversity of both fish feeding and water quality, the relationship between the diet composition of fish and water quality is not fully understood to date.

Disentangling population strategies of two cladocerans adapted to different ultraviolet regimes
Zooplankton have evolved several mechanisms to deal with environmental threats, such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and in order to identify strategies inherent to organisms exposed to different UVR environments, we here examine life‐history traits of ...

Beyond the Cascade Dams: Scale‐Dependent Effects on Zooplankton Stability in River Ecosystems
Cascade dams alter river zooplankton community stability, but how regulating factors act across local and regional spatial scales is poorly understood. Using field sampling and structural equation modeling, we revealed divergent scale‐dependent responses of zooplankton stability to dams—local stability depended on biodiversity, while regional stability

Ephemeral salt lakes in arid Australia contain hidden macroinvertebrate biodiversity in sediment egg banks, but traditional artificial rehydration surveys may miss taxa with specific or poorly understood hatching requirements. This study found that sugar‐flotation followed by DNA metabarcoding greatly improved detection of resting‐stage taxa compared ...
