Aquatic ecosystem responds differently to press and pulse nutrient disturbances as revealed by a microcosm experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Due to climate change and increasing anthropogenic activities, lakes are disturbed frequently, usually by press (e.g., diffused pollution, rising temperatures) or pulse (e.g., storms, rainfall, pollution events) disturbances.

Lessons learned from a co‐produced field experiment comparing aquatic vegetation removal methods in recreational waters

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We brought together academic researchers, environmental practitioners and local community members to implement a co‐produced experimental aquatic plant removal. We applied six key lessons learned based on existing co‐production research and added lessons learned from this case study. Overall, we found that building on existing relationships, appointing

Aquatic macrophytes as nature‐based solutions: Challenges and opportunities across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

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

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

Omnivorous shrimp Neocaridina denticulata sinensis enhances the growth of submerged macrophyte Vallisneria denseserrulata

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2019
Lake eutrophication often causes declines and even losses of submerged macrophytes through the shading effects of increased periphyton and phytoplankton.

Do Coexisting Cryptic Species of Predatory Peacock Bass (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) Partition Their Niche?

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms facilitating coexistence of cryptic species in sympatry have long puzzled ecologists. Cryptic species have nearly identical morphology and, therefore, would be presumed to have high niche overlap and potential for interspecific competition and competitive exclusion when resources are limited. Lowland rivers in South America have

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 781-812, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

Ocean warming indirectly affects seagrass performance through effects on sediment microbial communities

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 191-206, July 2026.
Summary Belowground microbes are increasingly recognised as mediators of plant responses to stress, but it remains unclear whether the thermal histories of marine plants and their associated belowground microbes influence plant performance under ocean warming.

Zooplankton Community Stability and Environmental Filtering in a Shallow Eutrophic Lake

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Anthropogenic pressures led to zooplankton shift to small‐bodied dominance, not structural reorganization. Integrated management is crucial for long‐term resilience. ABSTRACT Zooplankton are key regulators of trophic interactions and nutrient cycling in shallow eutrophic lakes and are sensitive indicators of ecological responses to anthropogenic ...

Investigation on the trends and characteristics of articles on submerged macrophytes: perception from bibliometrics between 1991 and 2018

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2019
Submerged macrophytes, as one of the most important primary producers in shallow lakes and streams, have attracted significant research attention, with relevant studies showing dynamic evolution over the past three decades.
