It has been hypothesised that freshwater pollution may favour the establishment of tolerant invaders at the expense of less-tolerant residents. To test this, this study capitalises on the aftermath of a farm pollution incident, a slurry discharge to a small British stream, which eliminated the resident macroinvertebrate assemblage. Stream transplan...

Parasites can modify the phenotype of their hosts, altering host vulnerability to predation. Trophically-transmitted parasites often use host manipulation to increase their probability of transmission to the next host or reduce their chances of being consumed by the wrong species. However, phenotypic changes may actually increase the host’s vulnera...

Phenology has an important effect on the life strategies of species that live in temporary waters. Predaceous aquatic insects are key components of communities associated with seasonal ponds. Since the life cycles of these predators and their prey are unusual in that they occur at different moments of the pond hydroperiod, differences in temporal o...

The microalgal strain, JNU5, was isolated downriver from the Hengshishui River of the Guangdong Province, China. The morphology of JNU5 revealed that it was a spherical, unicellular organism with a smooth cell wall. The cell contained a large vacuole and prominent, reddish globule. The pigment composition revealed that chlorophyll a was the only ch...

The naupliar forms are important intermediaries between microbial and classical food web as they can efficiently graze on autotrophic picophytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria in diverse aquatic ecosystems. Current knowledge on feeding behavior of the naupliar grazing on picophytoplankton is limited and need to be explored. Nauplii (NII and NIII...

Amazonian aquatic environments are complex, and their interaction promotes heterogeneous environments that in turn make it difficult to describe the development of patterns. Amazonian floodplain lakes have different environmental and biological responses in similar water periods due to the interannual variation. We evaluated if the interannual vari...

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...

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...

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...
