Simple relationships to predict attributes of fish assemblages in patches of submerged macrophytes

Neotropical Ichthyology
Submerged macrophytes play an important role in structuring habitats and, therefore, in determining patterns of aquatic biodiversity. Because these plants are widespread in shallow areas of many Neotropical reservoirs, the present work investigated if ...

Leachates and elemental ratios of macrophytes and benthic algae of an Andean high altitude wetland

Journal of Limnology, 2011
In wetlands, macrophytes and filamentous algae constitute an important carbon source for the total content of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) of the environment.

Optimising the Detection of Southern Toadlets (Pseudophryne semimarmorata): A Comparative Study of eDNA and Conventional Survey Methods

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate and reliable monitoring of amphibians is essential for informing their conservation. Pseudophryne semimarmorata (southern toadlet) is a species of endangered brood frog with a largely terrestrial life history that has experienced widespread decline across southern Australia.

Submerged Macrophyte Restoration Differentiation for a Waterfront Body [PDF]

Journal of Clean Energy Technologies, 2014
The Inner Lake is a typical tide-influenced waterfront body in Eastern China. Series of environmental factors of the lake changed frequently and extensively due to its location. Regulating the water exchange for an improved living condition to restore macrophyte is very important to establish a healthy ecosystem.

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.

Simulated Range Expansion Suggests Rapid Change in Biotic Resistance to a Range‐Shifting Competitor

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We constructed populations of Lemna minor genotypes sourced from localities near and beyond the range edge of a potential range‐shifting competitor, Spirodela polyrhiza. Following 14 weeks of exposure to low densities of S. polyrhiza, we observed subtle but significant rapid evolution and phenotypic plasticity of functional traits in L.

Spatial variability of hydrodynamics in oyster reefs: Investigating the impact of canopy density on mean and turbulent flows

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This field study investigated how oyster canopy density modulates hydrodynamics of natural intertidal oyster reef. High‐resolution velocity measurements were taken simultaneously within and above oyster canopies of variable density (solid volume fractions, Ø=$$ \mathrm{\O}= $$ 0.04–0.21).

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Controls on Phytoplankton Growth and Bacterioplankton Communities in Wetland Impoundments

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

Sedimentary DNA and Fossil Archives Reveal Long‐Term Phytoplankton Shifts and Their Biogeochemical Influence in a Subtropical Lake

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding long‐term phytoplankton community dynamics is essential for assessing ecological resilience and informing lake management under global change. However, centennial‐scale patterns of phytoplankton dynamics remain poorly resolved due to the limited taxonomic resolution of traditional fossil‐based paleoecological approaches.

Unveiling Zooplankton Diversity Patterns: The Differential Influence of Macrophyte Belts on Species and Functional Metrics

Diversity
Species and functional diversity are essential frameworks for analyzing changes in planktonic communities. In lakes and rivers, macrophytes within the coastal zone are a primary determinant of zooplankton community structure and function.
