Environmental warming in shallow lakes: a review of potential changes in community structure as evidenced from space-for-time substitution approaches
Shallow lakes, one of the most widespread water bodies in the world landscape, are very
sensitive to climate change. Several theories predict changes in community traits, relevant …

Shallow lakes from the Central Plains of Argentina: an overview and worldwide comparative analysis of their basic limnological features
Abstract The Central Plains of Argentina is a heterogeneous environment, but the lakes
there share some fundamental features: they are all shallow and polymictic as being well …

Climate change impacts on lakes: an integrated ecological perspective based on a multi-faceted approach, with special focus on shallow lakes
Freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity are presently seriously threatened by global
development and population growth, leading to increases in nutrient inputs and …

Impacts of climate warming on lake fish community structure and potential effects on ecosystem function
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 …

Effects of dispersal and environmental heterogeneity on the replacement and nestedness components of β‐diversity
Traditionally metacommunity studies have quantified the relative importance of dispersal
and environmental processes on observed β‐diversity. Separating β‐diversity into its …

The habitat template of phytoplankton morphology-based functional groups
The identification of the main factors driving phytoplankton community structure is essential
to understand and adequately manage freshwater ecosystems. We hypothesize that …

High predation is of key importance for dominance of small-bodied zooplankton in warm shallow lakes: evidence from lakes, fish exclosures and surface sediments
The mean body size of limnetic cladocerans decreases from cold temperate to tropical
regions, in both the northern and the southern hemisphere. This size shift has been …

Phytoplankton community composition can be predicted best in terms of morphological groups
We explored how well the aggregated biovolume of groups of species can be predicted from
environmental variables using three different classification approaches: morphology‐based …

Effects of dams decrease zooplankton functional β‐diversity in river‐associated lakes
LSM Braghin, BA Almeida, DC Amaral… - Freshwater …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In river–floodplain systems, the construction of dams causes environmental changes in the
natural dynamics of rivers and the associated wetlands, which can affect both the taxonomic …
