Effects of turbidity and introduced tilapia (Oreochromis spp) on macrophytes and invertebrates in a shallow tropical lake

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2023
Tropical freshwater wetlands are subject to multiple stressors but there is little information on which stressors cause wetland degradation. Increased turbidity is considered a major cause of degradation, but the effects of introduced fish are often ...

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales

Vegetation trajectories over 150 years of temporary ponds created in the Camargue delta (Southern France)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In

Phosphorus loading and carp disturbance synergistically promote dominance of free-floating macrophytes over submerged plant competitors

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Freshwater ecosystems increasingly face free-floating macrophyte invasions, which suppress submerged vegetation and phytoplankton, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem functions.

Submerged macrophytes mitigate direct and indirect insecticide effects in freshwater communities. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Understanding how ecological interactions mitigate the impacts of perturbations such as pesticides in biological communities is an important basic and applied question for ecologists.

MISS diversity from saline lakes of Brazilian Pantanal: Origin, potential of preservation and comparison with examples of the Ediacaran‐Cambrian shallow depositional settings

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

Endophytic bacteria enhance macrophyte resilience but reduce microbial network stability under eutrophication

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Lake eutrophication poses a serious threat to the biodiversity and ecosystem functions of submerged macrophytes. As symbiotic microorganisms of submerged macrophyte, endophytic bacteria can enhance plant’s stress resistance and promote its growth ...

Influences of a submerged macrophyte on colony formation and growth of a green alga

open access: yesAquatic Biology, 2013
The effects of the submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum on the growth and morphology of the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus were assessed by conducting co-culture laboratory experiments (15 and 25°C, presence/absence of 3 g fresh wt of C. demersum

A Systematic Review of Biofloc Technology and Periphyton in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) Aquaculture

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.

Trophic relationships between primary producers and associated fauna in a pristine Cerrado pond

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2019
Ponds arising from groundwater in Cerrado of Central Brazil are oligotrophic but highly biodiverse environments. In this study, we used stable isotope ratios to test if there are variations in carbon and nitrogen acquisition by different primary food ...
