Macrophytes have a fundamental structuring role in aquatic environments. Several authors
have suggested that trophic interactions are particularly mediated by aquatic plants. In the …

The diversity of aquatic macrophytes can offer different local conditions required to support
an increased number of microhabitats, therefore resulting in diverse biotic communities. This …

The structural complexity of habitats and the distance from the dispersion source are
considered important determinants of species diversity. The fractal dimensions of substrates …

Structural complexity and turbidity decrease predation by respectively providing a physical
and visual refuge for prey. It is still unclear how the covariance between these variables …

Exotic species have invaded freshwater ecosystems, causing biodiversity loss of associated
communities. We investigated the influence of the invasive macrophyte Hydrilla verticillata …

Marginal lakes are characterised by their having high biological diversity due to the
presence of aquatic macrophytes in their coastal zones, providing habitats for refuge and …

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram registrar a abundância e a riqueza de Odonata associada
a Eichhornia azurea, durante o período de março de 2004 a março de 2005, na Lagoa do …

This work was based on the assumption that the structure of the invertebrates' community
associated with Eichhornia crassipes is influenced by the water's physicochemical …

Habitat complexity, turbidity and prey type availability affect trophic dynamics, and an
improved understanding of how these three factors work together could facilitate …

The objective of this study was to analyze the colonization of Chironomidae (Diptera) larvae
during the decomposition of Eichhornia azurea (Swartz) Kunth (Commelinales …
