Fatty acids (FA) are crucial for the maintenance of membrane fluidity and play a central role in metabolic energy storage. Polyunsaturated fatty acids play an essential ecological role since they are key parameters in the nutritional value of algae. Pesticide impacts on fatty acid profiles have been documented in marine microalgae, but remain under...

The North American oligochaete Sparganophilus tamesis is widespread in European freshwaters. Its ecological effects on benthic nitrogen (N) biogeochemistry were studied in two contrasting environments: the organic-rich muddy sediments of the eutrophic Mincio River (Italy) and the organic-poor sandy sediments of the oligotrophic Cazaux-Sanguinet Lak...

Ce guide propose une démarche permettant d'évaluer le danger potentiel relatif aux sites d'accumulation de sédiments d'eau douce continentale (ouvrages et voies navigables), notamment en amont d'opérations d'entretien. Il est également adapté au diagnostic des causes de déclassement en mauvais état d'un site lors de suivi de qualité dans un context...

The majority of studies on biofilms have focused on autotrophic and bacterial taxa, without considering the potential effects on biofilm grazers. In this work, we investigated the effects of realistic environmental concentrations of zirconium (Zr) on periphyton algal growth and micromeiofauna biodiversity. Glass slides were submerged in a pond for ...

Contamination by herbicides is reported in most freshwater environments. These biologically active compounds may impact the non-target biota such as benthic biofilms, at the base of the trophic chain. In agricultural watersheds, herbicides occur as pulses in the system, and traditional dose-response analysis performed at a given duration of exposure...

Sudbury (Ontario, Canada) has a long mining history that has left the region with a distinctive legacy of environmental impacts. Several actions have been undertaken since the 1970s to rehabilitate this deteriorated environment, in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Despite a marked increase in environmental health, we show that the Junction ...

Aquatic ecosystems are generally subjected to multiple perturbations due to simultaneous or successive combinations of various natural and anthropogenic environmental pressures. To better assess and predict the resulting ecological consequences, increasing attention should be given to the accumulation of stresses on freshwater ecosystems and its ef...

Microcystin (MC) is a common and widespread toxin which represents a health hazard to humans and animals. MC toxin concentrations are monitored by various direct or proxy techniques (HPLC, LC-MS/MS, ELISA, PPIA), however, these techniques do not discriminate producing species from non-producing ones. In order to simultaneously provide the identity ...

Le mécanisme de dispersion est un des mécanismes clés à avoir un effet sur la répartition des individus, des populations et des communautés dans la nature. Malgré des progrès au niveau de l'étude des espèces uniques, il a été notoirement difficile de représenter le mécanisme de dispersion quant aux métacommununautés multispécifiques, où ce mécanism...

We reviewed 219 papers and built an inventory of 532 items of ecological evidence on multiple stressor impacts in rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters, as well as groundwaters. Our review revealed that, despite the existence of a huge conceptual knowledge base in aquatic ecology, few studies actually provide quantitative evidence on multi...
