ABSTRACT Terrestrial studies and pelagic studies in lakes generally report positive biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships, where more diverse communities perform better. In large rivers, strong environmental constraints constantly filter plankton communities, promoting species sorting and the dominance of well‐adapted taxa that may alter the

Exploring Cladocera Assemblage and Responses to Land Use Patterns
Cladocera communities in surface sediments from 31 lakes in Hungary were analysed to assess the impacts of land use on the aquatic systems. We evaluated the alpha and beta diversity metrics, with land use classification types based on the Corine Land ...

Sezonska varijabilnost i diverzitet cladocera (crustacea) u lagunama za prirodno prečišćavanje otpadnih voda iz domaćinstava [PDF]
Cladocera predstavljaju najznačajniju komponentu zajednice zooplanktona u većini stajaćih slatkovodnih ekosistema. Kao filtratori, hrane se algama, bakterijama, protozoama i organskim česticama, koje obiluju u netretiranim otpadnim vodama iz domaćinstava.

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 ...

Cladocera in ponds of the Varanger Peninsula
Up to now 19 species of Cladocera have been found in ponds of the Varanger Peninsula (Eastern Finnmark, Norway), which are presented here. A comparison with other regions in the northern Holarctic shows, that the limits of distribution of Cladocera ...

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 ...

Abstract Terrestrial subsidies shape aquatic ecosystem structure and function, serving as important energy channels for consumers when phytoplankton and other autochthonous resources are limited. Despite this, quantifying the assimilation of allochthonous nutrients by aquatic consumers can be challenging. Here, we show terrestrial plants, benthic algae,

Lake deposits provide ideal archives to study the past catchment dynamics and the related response of lake ecosystems. In particular, sediment records deposited over long time periods can provide information on lake development stages preceding the ...

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited due to methodological differences across programs, taxonomic ...

Cladocera Diversity in the Aquatic Habitats of Jammu District, (J&K) [PDF]
Cladocera occupy the primary consumer level in aquatic food chains and have a very vital role in stability and integrity of aquatic habitats. Therefore, knowledge of biodiversity of these organisms can be utilized in the management of aquatic habitats ...
