Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Artificial ponds in Central Europe do not fall behind the natural ponds in terms of macrophyte diversity

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2018
We studied macrophyte composition and 24 environmental variables in 69 ponds of both natural and artificial origin in Slovakia. We tested differences in α and γ diversity and β similarity between natural and artificial ponds for helophytes, hydrophytes ...

Influência da turbidez da água do rio Tietê na ocorrência de plantas aquáticas Influence of Rio Tiete water turbidity on the occurrence of aquatic plants

Planta Daninha, 2005
As plantas aquáticas são estudadas como um efeito do desequilíbrio causado pela poluição e/ou alagamento dos rios. A quantidade excessiva de plantas, conseqüente desse desequilíbrio, dificulta a navegação e a produção de energia elétrica.

Floristic diversity in the small riverswith different morphology in the zoneaffected by backwater of a lowland reservoir

Трансформация экосистем, 2021
A comparative study of the floristic diversity of small rivers is of great importance in the assessment of their environmental state, which allows assessing the degree of pollution of the environment. The floristic diversity of the estuaries of the small

Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the

Vegetation Shifts in Boreal Ombrotrophic Peatlands Following Road Construction

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
Permanent roads crossing boreal ombrotrophic peatlands drive a shift in plant community composition within 25–75 m of the infrastructure, with losses of Sphagnum mosses, lichens, and the expansion of shrubs. Mineral enrichment from road dust, deicing salts, and construction materials may be the main driver of these changes, potentially threatening the ...

Biogeography and Reinterpretation of the Evolution of Paternal Care Scenario in Belostomatidae (Insecta, Hemiptera)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To estimate the origin and diversification times of the main lineages of Belostomatidae, with emphasis on the subfamilies Belostomatinae and Lethocerinae; to reconstruct the biogeographical history of the family's representatives, estimating which locations may have served as important sources of immigration and emigration events and ...

Vascular aquatic plants of the Lower Tisa River (Serbia) – species composition and distribution pattern [PDF]

Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2013
The Lower Tisa is the 150 river km long section of the river through Serbia, where it runs into the Danube. The survey of vascular aquatic plants in the main channel of the Tisa River was undertaken during the time period 2004-2010.

Revealing the Discrepancy Between Ecosystem Service Flows and Public Perception in Heavily Impacted Lowland Rivers of Armenia

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT River ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable to intensified human pressures associated with population growth and rising living standards, leading to structural changes and altered ecosystem service (ES) provision. The lower course of the Hrazdan River (Armenia) exemplifies these impacts, as it flows through Yerevan, the capital city, and ...

The Multiple Roles of Genetics on Freshwater Macrophyte Functional Traits in the Interplay With the Environment: A Review

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review examines how genetic and environmental factors jointly shape functional trait variation in aquatic plants. By synthesizing the literature from the last fifteen years, we analyze the roles of genetic diversity, epigenetic variation, genome size, and gene expression in relation to phenotypic plasticity, natural selection, and genetic drift ...
