Major efforts have been made world-wide to improve the ecological quality of shallow lakes
by reducing external nutrient loading. These have often resulted in lower in-lake total …

Structural complexity may stabilise predator–prey interactions and affect the outcome of
trophic cascades by providing prey refuges. In deep lakes, vulnerable zooplankton move …

Shallow lakes, the most abundant lake type in the world, are very sensitive to climatic
changes. The structure and functioning of shallow lakes are greatly impacted by submerged …

The mean body size of limnetic cladocerans decreases from cold temperate to tropical
regions, in both the northern and the southern hemisphere. This size shift has been …

Submerged plants are thought to negatively affect phytoplankton crops in the temperate
zone by a number of mechanisms, including nutrient and light limitation, and enhancement …

In the subtropics, the effects of macrophytes on trophic interactions are more complex than in
temperate lakes. Fish, particularly the smallest species and individuals, aggregate in high …

Simple Summary This study looked at the effects of exposure to small plastic particles
(polyethylene microplastics) and a flame retardant (tetrabromobisphenol A) on the …

Biomanipulation based on removal of coarse fish, piscivorous fish stocking and sometimes
also planting of submerged macrophytes has been used to restore temperate eutrophic …

In food deprivation assays, several different responses have been observed in crustaceans.
However, studying energy reserves utilization among more than one species during the …

Small cladocerans, copepod nauplii and rotifers often dominate the zooplankton community
in tropical and subtropical lakes. This is probably because of high predation pressure by …
