Exploring Uncharted Waters: The Role of Artificial Aquatic Ecosystems in Freshwater Science

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The world's farms and cities house an abundance of human‐made waters, including farm dams, stormwater ponds, constructed wetlands, and ditches: known collectively as “artificial aquatic ecosystems.” In this viewpoint we challenge the entrenched idea that human‐made waters have limited ecological value, discuss the disconnect between the functioning of ...

Bird Diversity and Habitat Associations in the Tara Gedam Monastery Church Forest: A Seasonally Informed Study in Northwestern Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study explores how habitat structure and seasonal variation shape bird diversity in the Tara Gedam Monastery church forest of Ethiopia. Across wet and dry seasons, 94 species were recorded, with abundance higher in the wet season but diversity remaining stable, underscoring the forest's role as a perennial refuge.

Research Trends on Trace Element Contamination in Brazilian Urban Lentic Ecosystems: Environmental and Policy Drivers

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Lentic ecosystems are vulnerable to contamination by trace elements, which can accumulate and pose risks to aquatic life and human health. In a large, developing country such as Brazil, marked by vast geographic, environmental, and socioeconomic diversity, it is crucial to understand how these factors shape research on this group of ...

Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in the Düzce Watershed (Türkiye) and Sustainable Remedies through Aquatic Flora

BioResources
Heavy metal pollution in the Düzce watershed of Türkiye was assessed and the phytoremediation potential of native aquatic plants was evaluated. The majority of heavy metals were found in water within legal limits, except for cadmium concentrations, which

Socio‐ecological complexity in managing long‐standing invasive water hyacinth in wetland agriculture and fisheries

People and Nature
Managing long‐established invasive species in an ecosystem can be complex due to their multifaceted socio‐economic roles and use to the stakeholders, an issue requiring more attention. We measured the effects of water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes), one

Drivers of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Tropical Riverine Systems Across a Gradient of Human Impact

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical lotic ecosystems are important sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet the magnitude and variability of such emissions remain poorly constrained. Here, we quantified spatial and short‐term temporal variability of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes across tropical riverine systems spanning a gradient of human impact, while ...

Oases of endemism: Regional aquifer desert springs serve as biodiversity hotspots preserving vulnerable endemic taxa in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert regions

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Spring ecosystems in arid regions often serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots by providing some of the only reliable sources of surface water. However, anthropogenic activities and climate change have severely degraded spring ecosystems worldwide, emphasizing the need for large‐scale multidisciplinary studies informing conservation efforts ...
