The relative importance of bottom-up versus top-down effects in aquatic ecosystems remains
a longstanding and ongoing controversy. To investigate these effects on phytoplankton …

Lowland lotic ecosystems are under increasing pollution pressure. In this study, we
analyzed the plankton community responses to environmental changes, including natural …

In aquaculture, phytoplankton contribute to primary productivity, hel** maintain fishery
harvests and water stabilization. To better understand the drivers controlling phytoplankton …

One of the ongoing debates around metacommunity ecology is to what extent stochastic and
deterministic processes act on community assembly. We explored the influence of both …

The phytoplankton community structure is potentially influenced by both extrinsic effects
originating from the surrounding environment and intrinsic effects relying on interspecific …

Subterranean ecosystems host highly adapted aquatic invertebrate biota which play a key
role in sustaining groundwater ecological functioning and hydrological dynamics. However …

Although several studies explain the trophic cascade in water systems, we lack knowledge
about top-down–bottom-up effects on phytoplankton from eutrophic lakes. In this study, we …

In alluvial plains, where shallow lakes are subject to inputs of sediments, the impact of
turbidity on predator–prey interactions needs to be studied. We conducted an in situ …

Laboratory and field experiments indicate that the presence of Limnoperna fortunei
decreases concentrations of particulate organic matter and increases ammonia, nitrate, and …

This work explores the reasons why predation plays a minor role in structuring
phytoplankton composition in a Neotropical shallow lake. Phytoplankton, zooplankton, and …
