When habitats are lost, species are lost in the region as a result of the sampling process.
However, it is less clear what happens to biodiversity in the habitats that remain. Some have …

This review of trends in inland saline lakes of Europe and Central Asia is based on the
relevant section of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and …

In this review, I would like to summarize the current knowledge on the microbiology of soda
lakes and pans of the Carpathian Basin. First, the characteristic physical and chemical …

Shallow, saline inland lakes occur over large areas in Central-Europe and they bear
exceptionally high biological conservation values. Climate change and anthropogenic …

Understanding the spatial scales at which organisms can adapt to strong natural and human-
induced environmental gradients is important. Salinization is a key threat to biodiversity …

European shallow, alkaline, saline lakes are potential indicators of climate change. Diatoms
have often been reported as valuable proxies for different kinds of anthropogenic activities …

Lowland lotic ecosystems are under increasing pollution pressure. In this study, we
analyzed the plankton community responses to environmental changes, including natural …

Considering the ongoing loss of aquatic habitats, anthropogenic ponds are gaining
importance as substitute habitats. It is therefore important to assess their functioning in …

Both eutrophication and salinization are growing global environmental problems in
freshwater ecosystems, threatening the water quality and various aquatic organisms …

Despite the increasing number of studies on use of a functional diversity approach in
community ecology, minimal information is available on functional traits of zooplankton in …
