There is an increasing concern regarding the potential effects of nanoplastics (NPs) on
freshwater ecosystems. Considering the functional values of biofilms in freshwater …

The spatial environmental heterogeneity (EH) has been invoked as an important factor to
explain biodiversity. It is expected that higher spatial EH provides a wider range of resources …

Periphytic algae exist widely in different waters. However, little is known about periphytic
algae in long-distance water diversion channels across watersheds. We investigated the …

Phytoplankton is a crucial primary producer in wetland ecosystems and is highly sensitive to
changes in water quality. It has long been considered one of the most important biological …

Little is known about the diversity and distribution patterns of moths along latitudinal
gradients. We studied macro-moths in Mongolia along an 860 km latitudinal climatic …

Freshwater macrophytes thrive in tropical and subtropical climates, providing valuable feed
ingredients for a variety of aquatic and terrestrial animals while also influencing hydrology …

Diverse macrovegetation can provide heterogeneous habitats for benthic diatoms. The
removal of macrophytes as direct plant control, however, can be considered as a threat …

Aquatic macrophytes may have a significant effect on associated communities such as
epiphytes and macroinvertebrates, which through the structural complexity of habitat …

Stream periphyton is an ideal study system for explaining how dispersal shapes community
patterns. Few studies have tried to investigate periphyton metacommunities at the reach …

In order to explore the characteristics of the periphytic algae community structure and its
relationship with environmental factors in the Taiyuan region of the Fenhe River, a total of six …
