The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

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.

Hydrophyte-macroinvertebrate interactions in Zwemlust, a lake undergoing biomanipulation [PDF]
In two years after biomanipulation of Lake Zwemlust (The Netherlands), macrophytes (helophytes, elodeids) and filamentous algae developed luxuriantly in the lake. They influenced the structure of macroinvertebrate communities inhabiting them. Macrophytes and algae, by changing environmental and trophic conditions, also affected the composition of ...

Using an ensemble species distribution modelling framework (MaxEnt, Random Forest and Boosted Regression Trees), we compared the projected climate‐driven range shifts of two ecologically contrasting invasive plants in Turkey—the hydrophilic Eichhornia crassipes and the xerophytic Solanum elaeagnifolium —under three CMIP6 scenarios (SSP2‐4.5, SSP3‐7.0 ...

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

Our evidence synthesis reinforces the notion that hydromorphological floodplain restorations, as a biodiversity conservation measure or NbS, can significantly enhance local floodplain biodiversity. However, such benefits were often compromised at least in part by invasive species post‐restoration, highlighting the importance of sustained management ...

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

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

Diverging Effects of Elevation on Species Richness of Freshwater Organisms: A Global Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT A primary ecological challenge is to disentangle how abiotic factors affect species richness using measured environmental variables in addition to broad proxies such as elevation. Considering direct ecogeographical gradients, such as climate harshness, it is therefore essential to understand whether these underlying abiotic factors might ...

Spatial Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity in Africa—A Case Study of the Cyperaceae (Poales)
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the mechanisms that influence the patterns of diversification and spatiotemporal distribution of biodiversity requires integrating species, functional and phylogenetic data. In this study, we assembled, generated and integrated trait data of native plants in Cyperaceae across Africa with their known occurrences and a pruned ...
