An Overview of Studies on Meiofaunal Traits of the Littoral Zone of Lakes [PDF]
Water, 2021 We carried out an overview of the studies on the traits of the meiofauna of the littoral zone of lakes to investigate the question relating to the Raunkiaeran shortfall (lack of knowledge on biological traits). For this purpose, we selected a series of keywords associated with response and effect traits (feeding habits, locomotion and substrate ...

Assessment of the Current Trophic Status of the Southern Baikal Littoral Zone
Water, 2023 Eutrophication is a major ecological problem and affects and endangers freshwater bodies, making assessment of the trophic status of water bodies crucial for their restoration and sustainable use.

Environmental determinants of fish abundance in the littoral zone of gravel pit lakes
Hydrobiologia, 2021 The type and extent of habitats along the shoreline specify the distribution of fish in the littoral zone of lakes, but effects are likely species and size-specific and might be overwhelmed by lake-level environmental factors that drive fish abundance (e.

Warming Increases Nitrous Oxide Emission from the Littoral Zone of Lake Poyang, China
Sustainability, 2020 Littoral wetlands are globally important for sustainable development; however, they have recently been identified as critical hotspots of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.

Impact of pesticide contamination on aquatic microorganism populations in the littoral zone. [PDF]
Arch Environ Contam Toxicol, 2013 The effect of pesticide contamination of the littoral zone on the population of bacteria and fungi was analyzed using the example of a eutrophic water reservoir exposed for >30 years to the influence of expired crop-protection chemicals, mainly DDT.

Spatial and seasonal CH4 flux in the littoral zone of Miyun Reservoir near Beijing: the effects of water level and its fluctuation. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 Wetlands, and especially their littoral zones, are considered to be CH4 emissions hotspots. The recent creation of reservoirs has caused a rapid increase in the area of the world’s littoral zones. To investigate the effects of water depth and water level

Relative impacts of morphological alteration to shorelines and eutrophication on littoral macroinvertebrates in Mediterranean lakes [PDF]
, 2015 Development of effective methods for assessing the ecological status of lakes based on littoral benthic fauna has been hampered by the lack of quantitative data on the relative impacts of key pressures on the benthic community.

Ecosystem size predicts eco-morphological variability in a postglacial diversification [PDF]
, 2017 Identifying the processes by which new phenotypes and species emerge has been a long-standing effort in evolutionary biology. Young adaptive radiations provide a model to study patterns of morphological and ecological diversification in environmental ...
