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

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.

Resilient ecosystems maintain similar species diversity and composition despite extreme environmental variation, while ecosystem collapse can be characterized by high mortality rates and decreased species diversity.

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.

Transplantation of submerged macrophytes to restore shallow lakes has been used as an effective measure to maintain a clear water state. Water quality is highly correlated with submerged macrophytes community, however, the relationships between water ...

ABSTRACT Three‐spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have become dominant in many Baltic Sea coastal fish assemblages, yet life‐stage‐specific habitat use remains poorly understood. We surveyed shallow water habitats along the coast of Gotland, Sweden, to examine how juvenile and adult stickleback abundances relate to variables such as submersed

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.

Brown Trout Abundance in Boreal Streams With Large Wood
ABSTRACT Large wood has been found to be a crucial component in riverine ecosystems. However, due to the heavy channelization of rivers and intensive forestry practices over the past few decades, the amount of large wood in these ecosystems has decreased worldwide. River restoration aims to mitigate the effects of channelization and restore the channel

Consumer resilience suppresses the recovery of overgrazed ecosystems
Abstract Many heterotroph species perish when faced with severe food limitation; others can persist, adapt, and thrive. Sea urchins are emblematic of this paradox: they can overgraze kelp forests to form barren habitats, but can then survive for decades in these nutritionally depauperate seascapes.

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