In the context of global climate change, a significant increase in the active layer thickness (ALT) of permafrost is expected in the current century. This process has been observed by researchers over the past few decades. If the current climate tren...
Gillnet selectivity is poorly understood for most freshwater fish species, particularly for invasive alien species. However, their use to determine mesh selectivity could be essential for establishing management measures, such as the selective remova...
Human pressure has caused river ecosystems to be severely damaged. To improve river ecosystems, “working with nature”, i.e., nature-based Solutions (NbS), should be supported. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of a spec...
The littoral zones of freshwaters are highly susceptible to extreme hydrological fluctuations caused by climate-induced changes in the water cycle. Disturbances in the hydrology could affect fish assemblages and their trophic interactions with invert...
The order Odonata (Insecta) is composed of aquatic insects popularly known as dragonflies and damselflies. Members of this order are closely linked to the conservation status of their habitats; however, the Wallacean shortfall in some regions still r...
This study quantifies the loss of vegetative cover in Alley and Big springs, Missouri, following a catastrophic, ‘100 year’ flood, and documents their subsequent recovery. Foliar cover of aquatic vegetation was measured in each spring alo...
Since 1990, the Lake Kinneret trophic status has shifted from phosphorus to nitrogen limitation. In the summer of 1994, an outbreak of N2 fixing cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon ovalisporum invaded the epilimnion of Lake Kinneret. Since then, sporadic de...
Two specimens of pandeid species, Eutiara decorata Berberian, Michenet and Goy, 2021 were collected from Kumejima Island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. These specimens with a small white apical process were not yet fully-grown adults. A hyperiid amphi...
