Abstract Gammarus aequicauda (Amphipoda) and Moina salina (Cladocera) are dominant
species and promising objects for aquaculture in hypersaline lakes. In the Crimean …

Salinas systems are artificial wetlands which are interesting from the viewpoint of nature
conservation. They play an important role both as habitats for migratory waterbird species …

Microbial mats and gypsum exist in concentration ponds due to the first stage of evaporation,
whereas halite is present in the crystallizers with continuous seawater evaporation, in the …

Cross-community scaling relationships (CCSRs), which result from individual density scaling
with average individual body size at guild and community levels, enable investigation of …

Saltpans are increasingly being abandoned around the world, leading to the loss of
ecosystem services provided by these unique semi-natural wetlands. The desertion of a …

Gammarus aequicauda (Amphpoda) is one of the most promising gammarid species for
hypersaline aquaculture. Its population was studied in a hypersaline lake located in Crimea …

The foraging behavior determines the diet size influencing the growth and reproduction of a
predator and its prey populations. Amphipods play a key role in various aquatic ecosystems …

This study is focused on investigating the variation patterns of macroinvertebrate guilds
functional structure, in relation to the taxonomic one, across aquatic ecosystem types along …

Macroinvertebrates are commonly applied for ecological investigations and as ecological
indicators. However, the role of the sampling technique, effort and habitat on …
