Resources for biodiversity surveys and conservation planning are limited, and conservation
biologists and environmental managers are thus striving to find suitable surrogates for …

Despite becoming one of the main pressures on aquatic ecosystems globally,
understanding of the ecological impacts of altered water‐level regimes in lakes lags far …

Pelagic, littoral, and terrestrial resources can all play a role in supporting consumers in
lakes. The role of benthic algal-derived food web pathways in lakes is perhaps the least …

Constructed stormwater ponds mitigate runoff volumes and pollution, and provide other
ecosystem services, such as supporting biodiversity, but these services attracted relatively …

Patterns of spatial autocorrelation of biota and distributional similarity (concordance)
between assemblages of different organism groups have important implications in both …

Anthropogenic eutrophication is a major form of perturbation in freshwaters, and several
approaches aim to recognise its effects on lake ecosystems. We compared the responses of …

Bioassessment and monitoring methods should be as cost-efficient as possible. Limiting the
number of sites is not a practical solution to face the financial challenges related to …

Abstract Until the EU Water Framework Directive listed benthic invertebrates as a biotic
element to be used for ecological classification of lakes, techniques for the assessment of …

Although anthropogenic degradation of riverine systems stimulated a multi-taxon
bioassessment of their ecological integrity in EU countries, specific responses of different …

Understanding patterns in taxonomic congruency and the importance of environmental
variables as drivers of these patterns is a prerequisite for analyzing changes in regional …
