Predation by Erythemis nymphs (Odonata) on Chironomidae (Diptera) and Elmidae (Coleoptera) in different conditions of habitat complexity

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2015
Aim: The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of predation by nymphs of Erythemis Hagen, 1861 on Elmidae and Chironomidae and to check if the presence and the architecture of aquatic macrophytes may mediate this interaction. Methods: All prey as

Interactive effects of light and snail herbivory rather than nutrient loading determine early establishment of submerged macrophytes

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Submerged macrophytes play a key role in maintaining a clear‐water phase and promoting biodiversity in shallow aquatic ecosystems. Since their abundance has declined globally due to anthropogenic activities, it is important to include them in aquatic ...

Potential effects of mechanically removing macrophytes on the phytoplankton community of a subtropical reservoir

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018
Intensive growth of aquatic macrophytes interferes with water quality and ecosystem dynamics worldwide. Although mechanically removing macrophytes is the most commonly used method for their eradication, it can also cause undesirable disturbances in ...

Composition and Functional Diversity of Epiphytic Bacterial and Fungal Communities on Marine Macrophytes in an Intertidal Zone

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Marine macrophytes (seagrasses and macroalgae) and their epiphytic microorganisms play an important role in the ecological and biochemical processes of coastal oceans.

Removing Mn, Cu and Fe from Real Wastewaters with Macrophytes: Reviewing the Relationship between Environmental Factors and Plants’ Uptake Capacity

Toxics, 2023
Heavy metal pollution creates environmental health concerns. Among these, iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) are commonly found in aquatic environments due to the release of wastewaters.

Analyzing the effects of four submerged macrophytes with two contrasting architectures on zooplankton: A mesocosm experiment

Journal of Limnology, 2017
Increases in the structural complexity of submerged macrophytes are often shown to be linked to higher invertebrate abundance and diversity, but a number of studies have demonstrated, however, that this is not always the case. The objective of this study

Variability response of aquatic macrophytes in inland lakes: A case study of Lake Nasser

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2021
Aquatic macrophytes are plants that live in water or wet soil, grow profusely in lakes and waterways, and provide several ecological benefits. Lake Nasser, an artificial reservoir, has been the most critical element in Egypt’s social and economic ...

Habitat modification by invasive crayfish can facilitate its growth through enhanced food accessibility

BMC Ecology, 2017
Background Invasive ecosystem engineers can facilitate their invasions by modifying the physical environment to improve their own performance, but this positive feedback process has rarely been tested empirically except in sessile organisms. The invasive

A small omnivore fish (Acheilognathus macropterus) reduces both growth and biomass of submerged macrophytes: implications for shallow lake restoration

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020
Transplantation of submerged macrophytes has been widely used to improve water quality in restoring shallow lakes in China. However, in some lakes, small omnivorous fish predominated the fish assemblages and fed mainly on submerged macrophytes.

Biomass and physiological responses of green algae and diatoms to nutrient availability differ between the presence and absence of macrophytes

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Nutrient enrichment commonly promotes phytoplankton biomass, while the presence of macrophytes can mitigate the promotion effects of nutrient loading. However, the existing studies have seldomly focused on the impacts of macrophytes on the phytoplankton ...
