Freshwater fish communities in Ecuador exhibit some of the highest levels of diversity and
endemism in the Neotropics. Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems in the country are under …

Aquatic macrophytes play an important role in structuring communities in aquatic
environments. These plants provide physical structure, increase habitat complexity and …

During low water levels, habitats in river-floodplain systems are isolated from each other and
from the main river. Oppositely, floods tend to connect water bodies with distinct hydrological …

Major efforts have been made world-wide to improve the ecological quality of shallow lakes
by reducing external nutrient loading. These have often resulted in lower in-lake total …

Shallow lakes, the most abundant lake type in the world, are very sensitive to climatic
changes. The structure and functioning of shallow lakes are greatly impacted by submerged …

We assessed the importance of temperature, salinity, and predation for the size structure of
zooplankton and provided insight into the future ecological structure and function of shallow …

In the present investigation we studied the feeding habits of the fishes associated with
aquatic macrophytes in the Rosana Reservoir, southeastern Brazil. Twenty fish species …

Fish play a key role in the functioning of temperate shallow lakes by affecting nutrient
exchange among habitats as well as lake trophic structure and dynamics. These processes …

Studies investigating fish/macrophyte associations in the neotropics are rare. Aquatic
vegetation enhances structural complexity of the environment, potentially influencing …

This research characterised feeding ecology of fishes associated with patches of Egeria
najas and Egeria densa, two submerged macrophytes, in Rosana Reservoir, Upper Paraná …
