Phytoplankton periodicity: its motivation, mechanisms and manipulation [PDF]
This review summarizes some recent work to find a generalized explanation of phytoplankton periodicity in lakes. Much of the observational and experimental evidence is drawn from work centred on the large enclosures (Lund Tubes) installed in Blelham Tarn,

This paper presents the results of a dual approach for assessing fossil benthic foraminiferal communities using both traditional morphology‐based analyses and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding. The main objectives are to test the feasibility of sedaDNA analyses to assess foraminiferal biodiversity in temperate shelf sediments (Le Croisic,

This regional‐scale field study shows that critically threatened freshwater pearl mussels rely substantially on terrestrial organic matter, indicating strong connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, human pressures at the catchment scale reduced this resource connectivity.

Comment: Food web interactions and biomanipulation in Australian reservoirs [PDF]
The authors have been studying the control of phytoplankton biomass in several Australian reservoirs. To manipulate fish communities in order to reduce phytoplankton biomass, one needs a thorough understanding of processes in the plankton-associated food

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

The phytoplankton of an enriched, soft-water lakel subject to intermittent hydraulic flushing (Grasmere, English Lake District) [PDF]
This paper describes some characteristic features of the phytoplankton of Grasmere, one of the smaller of the principal lakes of the English Lake District, and attempts to relate these to distinctive physical and chemical properties of the lake ...

The Chemistry of Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton have a high potential for CO2 capture and conversion. Besides being a vital food source at the base of oceanic and freshwater food webs, microalgae provide a critical platform for producing chemicals and consumer products. Enhanced nutrient levels, elevated CO2, and rising temperatures increase the frequency of algal blooms, which often ...

ABSTRACT Measures of an organism's weight at a given length are often considered reliable indicators of energy reserves or ‘condition’, which can be related to fecundity and risk of mortality. Understanding the impact of environmental change on fish condition may therefore inform sustainable management of human activities in marine ecosystems.

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...
