Mediterranean temporary ponds are present in five biogeographical regions, which are
characterized by hot dry summers and cool mild winters. These ponds host high levels of …

North Andean Patagonian aquatic systems include a number of deep and shallow
oligotrophic lakes with a profuse hydrographic net. In this contribution we present a review of …

The rapid melting of glacier cover is one of the most obvious impacts of climate change on
alpine ecosystems and biodiversity. Our understanding of the impact of a decrease in glacier …

Abstract Changes in zooplankton microhabitat use in lakes through diel migrations (vertical
and horizontal) have been related to habitat heterogeneity and to predation pressure …

Introduction: Worldwide, six genera of the class Hydrozoa are recognized in continental
waters: the cosmopolitan Hydra, the colonial Cordylophora and Pachycordyle, the medusae …

The freshwater littoral comprises a mosaic of habitats structured at several scales by a
combination of hydrophyte architecture and physiology. Within this complex environment …

Macrophyte health status can influence the composition of their exudates causing different
effects on zooplankton behavior and distribution in nature. We hypothesize that:(1) the …

Aim The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of habitat heterogeneity on diversity
on a local and regional scale. We tested two hypotheses:(i) the habitat diversity, given by …

Видовое разнообразие зоопланктона в литоральной зоне озер значительно выше,
чем в пелагиали озер, в основном за счет представителей родов Chydoridae и …

The Patagonian region, from the Andes to the steppe, includes a profuse hydrographic
network 20 with deep and shallow lakes. Here, we analyze the stoichiometric constraints for …
