Living on the edge: Reservoirs facilitate enhanced interactions among generalist and rheophilic fish species in tributaries
Most lotic ecosystems have been heavily modified in recent centuries to serve human
needs, for example, by building dams to form reservoirs. However, reservoirs have major …

Salinity shapes zooplankton communities and functional diversity and has complex effects on size structure in lakes
Abstract Changes in zooplankton community structure and function were analyzed in 24
lakes covering a wide salinity gradient (from 0.5 to 115 gl− 1) in a semiarid region in …

Meta-analysis of the thermal pollution caused by coastal nuclear power plants and its effects on marine biodiversity
LSF Guimarães, L de Carvalho-Junior… - Marine Pollution …, 2023 - Elsevier
The rise in seawater temperature due to industrial activities is one of the main threats to
marine biodiversity. In nuclear power plants, large volumes of water are used for their …

Invertebrates of freshwater temporary ponds in Mediterranean climates
Mediterranean temporary ponds are present in five biogeographical regions, which are
characterized by hot dry summers and cool mild winters. These ponds host high levels of …

Functional, size and taxonomic diversity of fish along a depth gradient in the deep sea
Biodiversity is well studied in ecology and the concept has been developed to include traits
of species, rather than solely taxonomy, to better reflect the functional diversity of a system …

Individual dietary specialization reduces intraspecific competition, rather than feeding activity, in black amur bream (Megalobrama terminalis)
Y Xia, Y Li, S Zhu, J Li, S Li, X Li - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
Individual specialization and high plasticity in feeding activity are common in natural
populations. However, the role of these two in intraspecific competition is unclear. In this …

Impact of nutrients, temperatures, and a heat wave on zooplankton community structure: an experimental approach
Shallow lakes are globally the most numerous water bodies and are sensitive to external
perturbations, including eutrophication and climate change, which threaten their functioning …

Size‐based interactions and trophic transfer efficiency are modified by fish predation and cyanobacteria blooms in Lake Mývatn, Iceland
Trophic cascade studies have so far mostly focused on changes in the abundance, biomass,
or average size of prey and predators. In contrast, individual size‐based interactions …

[HTML][HTML] Comparison of taxonomic and size-based approaches to determine the effects of environment and disturbance on invertebrate communities in coastal Chile
The frequency and intensity of extreme events in coastal wetlands is increasing due to
climate change. These, in combination with other threats such as habitat loss, can have …

Water temperature and season length interact to explain a rare non‐linear ecogeographic cline in body size
Aim Adult body size often exhibits patterns across large‐scale environmental gradients,
creating ecogeographic clines. However, the form of body size clines varies across …
