Monitoring diverse components of aquatic ecosystems is vital for elucidation of diversity
dynamics and processes, which alter freshwater ecosystems, but such studies are seldom …

In river–floodplain systems, the construction of dams causes environmental changes in the
natural dynamics of rivers and the associated wetlands, which can affect both the taxonomic …

The extent to which stochastic and deterministic processes influence variations in species
communities across space and time remains a central question in theoretical and applied …

Reservoirs are intermediate ecosystems between rivers and lakes. These ecosystems break
up the landscape by forming artificial lakes connected by rivers and change important …

Eutrophication is a process characterized by the enrichment of a given aquatic environment
with nutrients, triggering a serious and growing ecological problem in continental aquatic …

River damming reduces the dispersal rates of biota and filter species by altering the local
environmental conditions. Although phytoplankton is a key biotic group to indicate changes …

Zooplankton community could be affected by aquatic environment, land use patterns, and
climate factors. However, few studies have evaluated the relative importance of these factors …

Habitat fragmentation, overexploitation of natural resources, the introduction of alien species
and environmental degradation in aquatic environments are the main causes of reductions …

Rotifers display r‐strategy life‐histories and are adaptable to environmental disturbances.
Although rotifers constitute a large proportion of zooplankton in river‐floodplain systems, the …

Dams and diversions are a primary threat to freshwater fish biodiversity, including the loss of
species and restructuring of communities, often resulting in taxonomic homogenization …
