Habitat complexity in shallow lakes and ponds: importance, threats, and potential for restoration
M Meerhoff, M de los Ángeles González-Sagrario - Hydrobiologia, 2022 - Springer
In this review we describe patterns and mechanisms by which habitat complexity is crucial
for the functioning of shallow lakes and ponds, and for the abundance and diversity of …

Littoral slope, water depth and alternative response strategies to light attenuation shape the distribution of submerged macrophytes in a mesotrophic lake
Light is a major limiting resource in aquatic ecosystems and numerous studies have
investigated the response of submerged macrophytes to low light conditions. However, few …

Eutrophication homogenizes shallow lake macrophyte assemblages over space and time
Eutrophication is commonly implicated in the reduction in macrophyte species richness in
shallow lakes. However, the extent to which other more nuanced measures of macrophyte …

Paleolimnological records reveal biotic homogenization driven by eutrophication in tropical reservoirs
Biodiversity changes in response to eutrophication, climate variability and species
invasions. These pressures have been shown to reduce community heterogeneity at various …

Floristic homogenization of South Pacific islands commenced with human arrival
The increasing similarity of plant species composition among distinct areas is leading to the
homogenization of ecosystems globally. Human actions such as ecosystem modification, the …

Chironomid-based temperature reconstruction for the Eemian Interglacial (MIS 5e) at Sokli, northeast Finland
Abstract The Last Interglacial (Eemian, MIS 5e) can be considered a test-bed for climate
dynamics under a warmer-than-present climate. In this study we present a chironomid …

Trait-based community assembly of submersed macrophytes subjected to nutrient enrichment in freshwater lakes: Do traits at the individual level matter?
H Fu, G Yuan, E Jeppesen - Ecological Indicators, 2020 - Elsevier
Understanding how functional traits distributed across ecological scales as well as
environmental gradients are central issues of trait-based assembly processes. However …

Long-term habitat degradation drives neotropical macrophyte species loss while assisting the spread of invasive plant species
The spread of invasive macrophyte species is a pressing threat to neotropical shallow lakes.
Yet there are few studies addressing the full extent of biotic and abiotic changes that may …

A century of limnological evolution and interactive threats in the Panama Canal: Long-term assessments from a shallow basin
Large tropical river dam projects are expected to accelerate over the forthcoming decades to
satisfy growing demand for energy, irrigation and flood control. When tropical rivers are …
