Despite a significant interest in cyanotoxins over recent decades, their biological role is still
poorly elucidated. Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanobacterial metabolite that is globally …

As a way to prevent resource depletion by other species, many phototrophic aquatic
microorganisms produce inhibitory compounds. This process, known as allelopathy, has …

Excess loading of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) triggers a shift in the trophic structure of
shallow lakes from a clear‐water, macrophyte‐dominated state to an algal‐dominated turbid …

It is well known that ecosystem functioning is positively influenced by biodiversity. Most
biodiversity–ecosystem functioning experiments have measured biodiversity based on …

Microcystis aeruginosa and Microcystis wesenbergii are two cyanobacteria commonly found
in eutrophic shallow lakes. Previous studies reported that microcystin-producing M …

Filamentous green algae (FGA) may represent an alternative state in high‐nutrient shallow
temperate lakes. Furthermore, a clear water state is sometimes associated with the …

The effects of an allelochemical extracted from the culture filtrate of diatom Phaeodactylum
tricornutum on the raphidophyte Heterosigma akashiwo were investigated using a series of …

Allelopathy by hydrophytes can be utilized to control algal blooms. This study was
conducted to investigate the allelopathic effect (inhibition) of Scenedesmus quadricauda on …

Periphyton is an important primary producer in freshwater ecosystems. However, their
effects on methane (CH 4) production and emissions in streams and rivers are not fully …

Defensive chemistry may be used against consumers and competitors by invasive species
as a strategy for colonization and perpetuation in a new area. There are relatively few …
