Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Waterborne transmission largely contributes to the epidemiology of a plankton parasite
Abstract Understanding how parasites spread is crucial for preventing infections and predicting epidemic dynamics. These efforts are challenging for environment‐borne parasites because transmission is host density‐independent. We monitored the dynamics of Pasteuria ramosa, a common bacterial parasite of Daphnia magna with prolonged free‐living ...

The Srebarna Nature Reserve is a wetland with great conservation value. The dispersal of aquatic bugs in it has not been studied earlier. Acquiring more data about the aquatic bug’s species composition and dispersal activity is a prerequisite for future ...

ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are the most biodiverse freshwater animals. DNA metabarcoding data are increasingly used to assess variation in insect communities, but they are rarely integrated with information on the abundance or biomass of different taxa that can provide key insights into their functional responses.

Abstract Variability in resource use within populations of free‐ranging animals can influence demographic and evolutionary processes. Yet in many ecological systems, the extent of intra‐population variation in the resources that animals consume and the environmental factors that contribute to this variance remain poorly understood. For example, dietary

Abstract Resilient ecosystems maintain similar species diversity and composition despite extreme environmental variation, while ecosystem collapse can be characterized by high mortality rates and decreased species diversity. Submerged aquatic macrophytes often support species diversity by providing habitat, shelter, food, and oxygen for fish and ...

Abstract Identifying drivers of consumer biomass patterns and community structure is complex for managed freshwater ecosystems that are sensitive to nutrients and drought. In the Florida Everglades, flow restoration is expected to reintroduce discharge across an expansive wetland, yet most research on consumers has focused on water depth and dry ...

Where Do You Fly From? Assessing Aerial Dispersal in Temporary Rivers Using Stable Isotopes
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a crucial ecological process that facilitates gene flow and species exchange within ecosystems. In temporary rivers (TRs), dispersal is a key driver of community assembly because it determines the ability of the organisms to adapt to seasonal drying and maintain stable populations.
