Planktic diatom responses to spatiotemporal environmental variation in high-mountain tropical lakes
(Wiley, 2024-01-18)
1. Tropical lakes harbour high levels of biodiversity, but the temporal and spatial variability of biological communities are still inadequately characterised, making it difficult to predict the impact ...
Retos y oportunidades para la evaluación del estado ecológico en ríos temporales
(Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre, 2024-03-06)
Los ríos temporales (RTs) son ecosistemas fluviales en los que los efectos de las perturbaciones antrópicas se mezclan con los de la propia perturbación natural que impone la temporalidad del flujo. A ...
Diatoms as dandelions: convergent evolution in the reproductive biology of small Nitzschia species (Bacillariophyta) and its possible taxonomic consequences
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2024-03-01)
Nitzschia soratensis and N. inconspicua are two small diatoms that are extremely similar in the light microscope though separable in subtle aspects of valve and girdle ultrastructure. They are not closely ...
Trophic role and predatory interactions between the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, and native species in open waters of the Ebro Delta
(Elsevier, 2024-01-14)
The Ebro Delta has become a major blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) fishery area in the NW Mediterranean, but there is limited information on factors controlling the abundance of populations in open waters, ...
Reviving Europe's rivers: Seven challenges in the implementation of the Nature Restoration Law to restore free-flowing rivers
(Wiley, 2024-01-30)
The EU Nature Restoration Law represents an important opportunity for freshwater habitat restoration and, consequently, freshwater biodiversity protection. However, a number of challenges must be ...
Analysing the contribution of intermittent rivers to beta diversity can improve freshwater conservation in Mediterranean rivers
(Springer, 2024-04-25)
In Mediterranean climate regions, intermittent rivers (IRs) harbor highly dynamic communities with species and trait composition changing over time and space. Simultaneously considering multiple ...
Impacts of diffuse urban stressors on stream benthic communities and ecosystem functioning: A review
(Asociación Ibérica de Limnología, 2024)
Catchment urbanisation results in urban streams being exposed to a multitude of stressors. Notably, stressors originating from diffuse sources have received less attention than stressors originating ...
Integrating spatiotemporal hydrological connectivity into conservation planning to protect temporary rivers
(Wiley, 2024-03-25)
1. Temporary rivers (TRs) have been largely overlooked in conservation assessments. Because TRs are such dynamic ecosystems, spatial and temporal aspects of their hydrology and ecology need to be taken ...
Description of Navicula vanseea sp. nov. (Naviculales, Naviculaceae), a new species of diatom from the highly alkaline Lake Van (Republic of Türkiye) with complete characterisation of its organellar genomes and multigene phylogeny
(Pensoft Publishers, 2024-04-08)
The current article describes Navicula vanseea sp. nov., a new species of diatom from Lake Van, a highly alkaline lake in Eastern Anatolia (Türkiye). The description is based on light and scanning ...
Automated Patch Clamp for the Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish Samples
(MDPI, 2024-04-15)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a marine toxin responsible for many intoxications around the world. Its presence in some pufferfish species and, as recently reported, in shellfish, poses a serious health concern. ...
