Aquatic plants fulfil a wide range of ecological roles, and make a substantial contribution to
the structure, function and service provision of aquatic ecosystems. Given their well …

Broad-scale studies of species distributions and diversity have contributed to the emergence
of general macroecological rules. These rules are typically founded on research using well …

To test the hitherto generally-accepted hypothesis that most aquatic macrophytes have
broad world distributions, we investigated the global distribution, diversity and endemism …

The first-ever extensive macrophyte survey of Zambian rivers and associated floodplain
waterbodies, conducted during 2006–2012, collected 271 samples from 228 sites, mainly …

The hypothesis was examined that sources of variation in macrophyte species richness
(alpha-diversity: S) and community composition (“species-set”), attributable to spatial and …

Rivers and their floodplains have been strongly influenced by human actions, such as river
training measures, flow regulation, bank stabilization, or intensive land use. These …

We compare invertebrate herbivory upon 13 macrophyte species in freshwater wetland
systems located in two global ecozones, the Afrotropics and Neotropics, in the context of …

Submerged macrophyte vegetation provides valuable ecosystem services, but climate-and
management-driven changes may alter plant traits in unexpected and interactive ways …

The development of an aquatic community can reflect the anthropogenic influence on
adjacent areas of a freshwater system. The understanding of growth rates of a key species is …

Flood disturbances in the Australian tropical savannah occur annually during the wet
season and play a central role in shaping river ecosystems. We examined the recovery of …
