Biological invasions dramatically affect the distribution, abundance and reproduction of
many native species. Because of these ecological effects, exotic species can also influence …

The present review with focus on the last decade (2000–2010) aims to (i) collecting the
major hypotheses explaining freshwater biodiversity patterns,(ii) identifying the main …

Recent results continue to show the general consensus that ozone-related increases in UV-
B radiation can negatively influence many aquatic species and aquatic ecosystems (eg …

Adjacent food webs may be linked by cross‐boundary subsidies: more‐productive donor
systems can subsidize consumers in less‐productive neighboring recipient systems …

Fish introductions are considered one of the most widespread anthropogenic threats to
aquatic ecosystems. Their negative impact on native amphibian communities has received …

Most amphibian species have biphasic life histories and undergo an ontogenetic shift from
aquatic to terrestrial habitats. In deforested landscapes, streams and forest fragments are …

The North American centrarchid, pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus), is a good
example of how the life history traits and biogeographical patterns of growth can vary in …

Facultative paedomorphosis is an environmentally induced polymorphism that results in the
coexistence of mature, gilled, and fully aquatic paedomorphic adults and transformed …

Recent studies in population dynamics suggest that landscape processes and habitat
quality act at different scales on population abundances, but very few have modelled their …

Since the first documented declines of amphibian species, researchers have learned how
nonnative species can depress amphibian populations and lead to local extinctions. Here …
