Turbidity plays an important role in aquatic predator–prey interactions. Increases in turbidity
are expected to reduce prey capture rates, especially for visually oriented predators …

speed-accuracy trade-off and improved accuracy were only seen in turbid water.•This …

Human activities have resulted in higher levels of turbidity in aquatic systems due to
increased sediment runoff from agriculture, urbanization, and mining activities into nearby …

Due to climate change, freshwater habitats are facing increasing temperatures and more
extreme weather that disrupts water flow. Together with eutrophication and sedimentation …

Increasing turbidity in streams and rivers near human activity is cause for environmental
concern, as the ability of aquatic organisms to use visual information declines. To investigate …

colloidal matter in freshwater systems, and for defining acceptable water quality standards in …

Sensory systems allow animals to detect and respond to stimuli in their environment and
underlie all behaviour. However, human induced pollution is increasingly interfering with the …

The weir construction in larger rivers has displayed harmful impacts due to unpredicted
modifications in hydrology and microhabitats. This study illustrated the impacts of three …
