Water, 2019 Periphyton is known to play an important role in the self-purification of aquatic ecosystems. However, little attention has been paid to the understanding of P distribution and its partitioning influenced by the physical parameters when periphyton is ...

Benthic grazing in a eutrophic river: cascading effects of zoobenthivorous fish mask direct effects of herbivorous fish [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Benthic grazing strongly controls periphyton biomass. The question therefore arises whether benthic grazing could be used as a tool to reduce excessive growth of periphyton in nutrient-enriched rivers.

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle
Oikos, EarlyView.The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Oikos, EarlyView.Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Temporal community change in stream ecosystems varies by assemblage across US climates
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem properties are temporally dynamic. Temporal variability has been shown to decrease with increasing levels of biological organization (i.e. from population to community and ecosystem levels).

Distribution of Periphyton in the Upstream Section of Citarum River, West Java, Indonesia
Jurnal Biodjati, 2020 Periphyton indeed plays an undeniably vital role as primary producers in the food web within aquatic ecosystems such as rivers. The existence of periphyton will affect the populations of the aquatic organisms at higher trophic level, thus it is ...
