Eutrophication resulting from high nutrient loading has been the paramount environmental
problem for lakes world-wide for the past four decades. Efforts are being made in many parts …

Fish play a key role in the trophic dynamics of lakes, not least in shallow systems. With
climate warming, complex changes in fish community structure may be expected owing to …

Removal of planktivorous fish is used extensively in northern temperate lakes to reduce
phytoplankton abundance via enhanced zooplankton grazing. However, whether this …

With 6 main basins, and being the second smallest country in South America, Uruguay has a
high freshwater ecosystem diversity. The study of zooplankton communities dates back to …

Differences in trophic web structure in otherwise similar ecosystems as a consequence of
direct or indirect effects of ambient temperature differences can lead to changes in …

Alternative states are a widely recorded phenomenon in shallow lakes, which may shift
between turbid‐and clear‐water conditions. Here, we investigate whether such shifts in a …

Environmental change can alter predator-prey dynamics. However, studying predators in the
context of co-occurring environmental stressors remains rare, especially under field …

Artificial emergency water source lakes have been built in most cities in the middle and
lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China, to ensure water safety for residents. However …

We compared the species richness and abundance of fish, zooplankton and phytoplankton
in nine mesotrophic coastal shallow lakes (Northeastern Brazil) with and without the exotic …

Habitat complexity is recognized to mediate predator–prey relationships by offering refuge
or not. We investigated the availability of planktonic microcrustaceans and the diet of a …
