Long-term allelopathic control of phytoplankton by the submerged macrophyte Elodea nuttallii

open access: yes, 2014
Keywords: allelochemicals; chemical ecology; competition; nutrient limitation; shallow lakes Summary 1.It is well known that submerged macrophytes can suppress phytoplankton blooms in lakes and thus promote water quality and biodiversity.

Omics to Study and Manage Aquatic Environments: A Snapshot From the AquaEcOmics Meeting (Evian‐les‐Bains, 2025)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The AquaEcOmics meeting brought together 280 scientists applying omics tools to aquatic research in March 2025 (Evian‐les‐Bains, France). We synthesised here the main outcomes from the 167 presentations which were given. A similar number of presentations were about micro‐ and macroorganisms.

Detecting response patterns of zooplankton to environmental parameters in shallow freshwater wetlands: discovery of the role of macrophytes as microhabitat for epiphytic zooplankton

open access: yesJournal of Ecology and Environment, 2015
Freshwater macrophytes improve the structural heterogeneity of microhabitats in water, often providing an important habitat for zooplankton. Some studies have focused on the overall influence of macrophytes on zooplankton, but the

Effects of seagrasses and algae of the Caulerpa family on hydrodynamics and particle-trapping rates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The widespread decline of seagrass beds within the Mediterranean often results in the replacement of seagrasses by opportunistic green algae of the Caulerpa family.

Does mechanical disturbance affect the performance and species composition of submerged macrophyte communities?

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2014
Submerged macrophyte communities are frequently subjected to disturbance of various frequency and strength. However, there is still little experimental evidence on how mechanical disturbance affects the performance and species composition of such plant ...

Uncovering the Nanozostera japonica species complex suggests cryptic speciation and underestimated seagrass diversity

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The importance of marine angiosperms, or seagrasses, as foundation species for marine coastal ecosystems is in marked contrast to their low species number of only 70 described taxa. Seagrass species tend to have very similar overall morphologies dictated by hydrodynamic forces of the ocean environment.

Efficiency of a constructed wetland for wastewaters treatment Eficiência de um "wetland" construído no tratamento de efluentes

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2012
AIM: The limnological characteristics of three different inlets water of the constructed wetland were compared in terms of concentration data and loading rate data and evaluated the removal efficiencies of nutrients, solids, BOD5, chlorophyll-a and ...

Altered nutrient cycling functionality in seagrass meadows under a simulated future marine heatwave event

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Seagrasses are important contributors to environmental nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems and can improve water quality by absorbing excess nitrogen (N). However, these ecosystems are vulnerable to human‐mediated pressures, including marine heatwaves (MHWs), particularly those of longer duration. We performed an experiment simulating a 30‐d,

Biology and potential impacts of rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus L.) in New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) is a cyprinid fish native to Europe that was illegally introduced into New Zealand in 1967. Between the 1960s and 1980s rudd were illegally spread to a number of lakes, ponds, and rivers in New Zealand, principally ...

Searching Explanations of Nature in the Mirror World of Math

open access: yesEcology and Society, 1999
Despite the huge scientific progress of the last century, the dynamics of complex systems such as the atmosphere, human societies, and ecosystems remain difficult to understand and predict.
