Fishponds built across streams can greatly affect their functioning, especially through loss of ecological continuity but also changes in water availability and trophic resources. Yet, their consequences on communities and stream functioning remain largely understudied. We investigated effects of fishpond dams on the trophic ecology of macroinverte...

Aquatic invertebrates can be geographically dispersed by abiotic vectors (wind, rain and water flow) or organisms (mainly by insects, fishes and waterbirds). However, there is a lack of information on the dispersal by waterbirds of cladocerans and especially rotifers, and on the hatching success of the dispersed propagules. Here, we quantify the di...

The aim of this study was to understand the changes of floodplain vegetation following the disruption of lateral connectivity from streams by levee construction under the temperate monsoonal conditions of South Korea. We compared the plant community structure and selected environmental variables in paired floodplains, one connected to the stream in...

Intense sampling of an estuary can reveal relative spatial changes that are significant irrespective of whether or not the estuary is eutrophic, micro- or meso-tidal, disturbed, or restored. This ‘waterscape’ perspective is analogous to a landscape perspective. We collected monthly water samples in the Barataria Basin watershed from 1994 to 2016 at...

Among territorial animals, several species are characterized by males showing the same initial behaviours towards both sexes, leading to significant chances of injuries against conspecifics. In this study, we investigated how visual stimuli exhibited by a female-mimicking robotic replica can be exploited by highly territorial Betta splendens males ...

Though many studies have demonstrated top-down control by macroconsumers on benthic communities and ecosystem processes in tropical streams, few have simultaneously addressed such effects across a gradient of riparian vegetation loss. Here, we investigated if potential top-down effects induced by macroconsumers interact with native vegetation chang...

Many marine organisms have complex genetic patterns that cannot be easily resolved by data analysis on spatial distribution of variability usually applied in population genetic studies. We propose an analytical framework to evaluate the role of dispersal during early life stages that considers the actual hydrodynamic connectivity in the Mediterrane...

The deposition of plant detritus changes sediment features, but little is known about how the accumulation of detritus affects the colonization of invasive and native submerged macrophytes. We tested the predictions that (i) submerged macrophyte occurrences correlate positively with the presence of detritus over sediment; (ii) the colonization of s...

The most widespread pressure impacting river ecological status is the degradation of key hydromorphologic elements, such as sediment type and flow rate. However, almost nothing is known about the quantitative relationship between benthic invertebrate abundance and these elements. This synthesis compiles quantitative data on physical requirements an...

Freshwater mussels are considered sedentary organisms. However, their foot provides the organ of locomotion, which enables an active behaviour. Their behaviour includes righting, horizontal movements and burrowing into the substrate. The objective of this study was to analyse the influence of non-native (Corbicula fluminea) competitors on the pedal...
