Impact of water level fluctuation in the shaping of zooplankton assemblage in a shallow lake.
Shallow lakes are strongly affected by global climate changes reflected in significant parameters of ecosystem deterioration, i.e. biodiversity decrease, and water turbidity.

Microscopic fungi on Nymphaeaceae plants of the Lake Płociczno in Drawa National Park (NW Poland)
The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of micromycetes associated with disease symptoms on the leaves and flowers of three plant species, Nymphaea alba (NA), Nymphaea candida (NC), and Nuphar lutea (NL), forming nympheid phytocoenoses on ...

ABSTRACT The first high‐resolution reconstruction of the vegetation and environmental changes during the last ca 13 300 cal a BP in the central part of the Kola Peninsula (NW Russia) was reconstructed based on sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding on sediment core Co1410 from Lake Imandra.

Assessing the Impact of Environment on the Color of Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta) in the Wild
Painted turtles have bright colors with no known function. We test hypotheses for natural variation in color in this species using visual ecology and signaling theory. ABSTRACT Animal coloration is a complex phenotype that may be affected by genetics, evolution, ecology, and environment. Disentangling the impact of environment on phenotype can often be

Changes in the Size Distribution of a Freshwater Fish After Lake Outlet Dam Removal: A Pilot Study
ABSTRACT The size structure of populations is crucial for predator–prey dynamics and ecosystem function. Anthropogenic pressures such as habitat alteration may affect the demography of many species. We investigated the size structure of European perch (Perca fluviatilis) populations in lakes before and after dam removal by using the planned removals of

Abstract Ecological succession provides a critical framework to evaluate and predict the effects of successional dynamics within plant communities on ecosystem functions, which has become increasingly relevant in recent years as humans adapt to a world that is progressively shaped by anthropogenic disturbances.

Different morphology of Nuphar lutea in two contrasting aquatic environments and its effect on ecosystem engineering [PDF]
ABSTRACTAquatic plants (macrophytes) can have a large effect on river hydraulics and geomorphology. Though, the extent to how plant morphological plasticity actively influences these feedbacks has received little scientific attention. The nymphaeid macrophyte species Nuphar lutea (L.) Smith is characterized by a distinct leaf duality.

ABSTRACT Eugenia dysenterica, commonly known as cagaiteira, is a plant native to the Cerrado biome that produces edible fruits and has medicinal properties. Cagaita fruit exhibiting anthracnose symptoms were collected from naturally occurring plants in native fragments of the Cerrado Biome at Gurupi, Tocantins, Brazil.
