Climate change will alter freshwater ecosystems but specific effects will vary among regions
and the type of water body. Here, we give an integrative review of the observed and …

A major challenge for ecologists is understanding ecosystem dynamics and function under
environmental and anthropogenic stresses. An approach for addressing this challenge is the …

The expansion of urban areas leads to a decrease in natural habitats, resulting some
species to live in urban environments. Novel environmental factors might influence their …

Ontogenetic diet patterns and trophic guild structure of a 15 species temperate lake fish
assemblage were analysed over wide size intervals (up to seven orders of magnitude in …

Although chironomids are popular model organisms in ecological research and indicators of

Macroinvertebrates play a key role in freshwater lentic and lotic ecosystems. The
macroinvertebrate benthic community of a shallow Mediterranean lake (Lake Pamvotis, NW …

We analyzed benthic samples (n= 128) collected from four cypress-tree population areas
within a large, shallow Arkansas reservoir over a 2-year period to investigate …

The deep benthic communities of tropical lakes are poorly understood with respect to their
composition, abundance, biomass and regulatory factors. Whereas the hypolimnia of …

Context Human-induced landscape modification, such as urbanization, creates new
environments that can have adverse effects on flora and fauna, posing threats to …

In the present study, based on faunistic information collected during 2014 and 2015, in
