Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Ecological and conservation value of small standing-water ecosystems: a systematic review of current knowledge and future challenges
A small standing-water ecosystem (SWE) is a shallow (< 20 m) lentic water body with a
surface of a few hectares (≤ 10 ha). Compared to larger counterparts, they exhibit wider …

Habitat loss over six decades accelerates regional and local biodiversity loss via changing landscape connectance
When habitats are lost, species are lost in the region as a result of the sampling process.
However, it is less clear what happens to biodiversity in the habitats that remain. Some have …
