Calcium carbonate and phosphorus interactions in inland waters

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 158-178, April 2025.
Abstract Phosphorus, an element essential to all life, is impacted by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) co‐precipitation and dissolution dynamics across aquatic ecosystems. Changes to climate, hydrology, and eutrophication, coupled with differences in terminology related to naming CaCO3‐producing ecosystems (i.e., chalk, carbonate, karst, travertine), point to

Alternative prey influence the predation of mosquito larvae by three water bug species (Heteroptera: Nepidae)

open access: yesLimnological Review, 2020
The indirect interactions among multiple prey sharing a common predator characterize apparent competition. In conservation biological control involving mosquitoes and controphic prey against generalist insect predators, apparent competition may be a ...

Diversity of Water Bugs in Gujranwala District, Punjab, Pakistan

open access: yesJournal of Bioresource Management, 2017
Water bugs fall under the order Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera, which is further divided into two types, i.e., semi-aquatic (Gerromorpha) and true water bugs (Nepomorpha). They play a vital role as biological control agents and also a source of food for

The drivers of benthic macroinvertebrates communities along a subtropical river system: Sediments chemistry or water quality?

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 17, Issue 5, July 2024.
Abstract Impacts of metal pollution, either on water or in sediments within aquatic systems have been a serious challenge globally. Little is known about the ecological impacts of metal pollution on benthic macroinvertebrates species in sub–tropical river systems.
