Municipal wastewater effluent (MWWE) is a common source of nutrient enrichment and provides a route for emerging substances of concern (ESOCs) to enter aquatic systems. Community composition and abundance metrics of benthic macroinvertebrates are com...

Intensive forestry, particularly the establishment of monospecific plantations with exotic species, can deeply impact the ecological functioning of forest streams, where riparian leaf litter is the primary source of energy. In this study, we investig...

Understanding the factors influencing amphibian populations is essential for effective freshwater conservation, particularly for species with biphasic life histories. This study examined how pond- and landscape-level characteristics shape larval amph...

A field study on the biparental convict cichlids (Amatitlania siquia) in Lake Xiloá, Nicaragua was conducted to understand how the loss of a parent’s parental care affects the antipredator behavior of both parents and offspring during in...

Freshwater fish species play an important role in global aquaculture. Currently, sturgeon, carp, and tilapia are at the forefront of this industry. However, as human populations continue to grow, the demand for new sources of animal protein increases...

Dive fisheries are widely practiced in coastal areas worldwide owing to their minimal equipment requirements and extensive historical background. Female divers in Korea and Japan have extensive knowledge of the local coastal environment and engage in...

Because animals threatened by visually oriented predators may respond in sun-lit daytime but not at night, invertebrate responses to predatory challenges may yield varying results based on the time period within the 24 h daily cycle. We predicted tha...

Cold-water lakes in high-latitude regions are experiencing rapid changes in community structure and functioning associated with local and global stressors (e.g., climate change, hydropower and invasive species). However, the long-term ecological resp...

Trace elemental water chemistry in aquatic systems is primarily derived from the underlying geology of surrounding watersheds. Trace elements can be absorbed from the environment and become permanently incorporated into certain calcified structures o...
