Humans have effectively transported thousands of species around the globe and, with
accelerated trade; the rate of introductions has increased over time. Aquatic ecosystems …

Biological invasions of aquatic plants (ie, macrophytes) are a worldwide phenomenon, and
within the last 15 years researchers have started to focus on the influence of these species …

Aquatic macrophytes play an important role in structuring communities in aquatic
environments. These plants provide physical structure, increase habitat complexity and …

Hydrilla verticillata (Hydrocharitaceae) is a highly prolific, rooted submerged macrophyte
native to Asia that has invaded aquatic systems worldwide, causing many ecological and …

In this review, we aim to draw parallels between the principal concepts of invasion biology,
developed mainly for terrestrial plants in temperate regions, with findings for macrophytes …

In an estuary of a neotropical region located in Brazil, Urochloa arrecta occurs only in the
area of freshwater. Nonetheless, information about the capacity of this population to invade …

Owning to dissimilarity with native macrophytes, invasive macrophytes may negatively affect
the diet and foraging efficiency of fishes. We evaluated the invertebrate availability, diet …

This study evaluated the effect of seasonality on diet composition and overlap in fish species
inhabiting the littoral zone of a small lake. We analyzed whether the way the species exploit …

The present paper is a contribution to the taxonomy of the genus Strandesia. Here, we
describe three new species: S. thomazi nov. sp., S. galeati nov. sp. and S. nakatanii nov. sp …

Large rivers in tropical regions can experience strong variations of abiotic factors owing to
the occurrence of flood pulses. Both man-made and natural floods can cause pulses with …
