Processes structuring macrophyte metacommunities in Mediterranean ponds: combining novel methods to disentangle the role of dispersal limitation, species sorting and spatial scales [PDF]
, 2019 Aim: Metacommunity ecology is a vibrant area of research that has received increased attention in recent years, since it provides a framework to assess the underlying dispersal- and niche-based processes that create non-random and ecologically meaningful

Effects of Invasive Watermilfoil on Primary Production in Littoral Zones of North-Temperate Lakes
Diversity, 2020 Species invasions are changing aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Submerged aquatic macrophytes control lake ecosystem processes through their direct and indirect interactions with other primary producers, but how these interactions may be altered by ...

Utilization of fish gut analysis to elucidation of microcrustacean
Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2014 Structural heterogeneity results in different spatial distributions of microcrustaceans. Thus, in ecosystems with excessive macrophyte development, it may be difficult to determine the microcrustacean species composition.

The spatial and temporal heterogeneity of macrophyte communities in thirty small, temporary ponds over a period of ten years [PDF]
, 2008 Ponds are important habitats within many landscapes because of the diversity of wildlife they support. This arises in part because of the heterogeneity of ecological communities found in neighbouring ponds but this variation has proved difficult to ...

Macrophytes as bioindicators [PDF]
River Systems, 2003 Submerged macrophytes respond to changes in the nutrient concentrations in their environment. In contrast to diatoms e.g., submerged macrophytes are capable of taking up nutrients from both the sediment pore water and the overlying water. Therefore, macrophytes can provide a more comprehensive assessment of river ecosystems. Two methods using submerged

The relative contribution of aquatic macrophytes and their epiphytes to the production of macrophyte beds1 [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1980 The epiphyte contribution to the total production of Lake Memphremagog macrophyte beds changed in a predictable fashion with the season, the morphology of the macrophytes, the depth of the bed, and the trophy of the water. In the mesotrophic portion of the lake, epiphytes fixed more carbon than the macrophytes only at the beginning and end of the ...

Evidence on Night Movements of Macroinvertebrates to Macrophytes in a Pampean Stream [PDF]
, 2014 Nocturnal invertebrate abundance peaks in lotic systems are usually associated to drift, however, diel migrations other than drift may be important in slow-flowing systems.
