DNA metabarcoding is a rapid, high‐resolution tool used for biomonitoring complex
zooplankton communities. However, diversity estimates derived with this approach can be …

Controlling the growth of desired algal strains in microalgal-based wastewater treatment
systems is challenging, and understanding the dynamics and interactions in the system is …

Using multivariate statistical tools, the composition of the phytoplankton community was
related to the characteristics of the domestic sewage used as culture medium in three high …

Plankton occupy a vital place in the marine ecosystem due to their essential role. However
small or microscopic, their absence can bring the entire life process to a standstill. In this …

Free-living species exhibit seasonal variation in various life history traits, including vital rates
such as birth and death patterns. Different physiological mechanisms are thought to underlie …

Metatranscriptomics allows profiling of community mRNA and rRNA transcript abundance
under certain environmental conditions. However, variations in the proportion of RNA …

Microalgae-based systems have the potential to remove the nutrients from the sewage that
can be reused for agricultural purposes for example. However, there are very few pilot-scale …

A need exists to understand how drought and its linked consequences threaten aquatic
ecosystems and their associated biota in semi-arid countries, as climate change is predicted …

The seasonal cycle is an important feature of life, leading to the succession of different
species and allowing them to share a common environment. Disruption in the seasonal …

The construction of eight large weirs in the Nakdong River, Korea, caused a decrease in the
water flow velocity and several physical changes to the water environment. Here, changes in …
