Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable biodiversity loss
Global freshwater biodiversity is declining dramatically, and meeting the challenges of this crisis requires bold goals mobilisation substantial resources. While reasons are varied, investments in both research conservation lag far behind those terrestrial marine realms. Inspired by a global consultation, we identify 15 pressing priority needs, grouped into five areas, an effort to support informed stewardship biodiversity. The proposed agenda aims advance globally as critical step improving...
Biological invasions of freshwater macroinvertebrates are gaining more and interest because the ecological economical impact some these species is high. Since crustacean taxa appear to be successful groups invading new areas, an inventory macrocrustaceans in Flanders was made. At least 22 macrocrustacean have been reported from Flemish water bodies. A detailed study six canals, one small artificial watercourse natural river eastern part revealed that invaders such as Dikerogammarus villosus,...
Emerging global threats, such as biological invasions, climate change, land use intensification, and water depletion, endanger the sustainable future of lakes reservoirs. To deal with these a multidimensional view on protection exploitation reservoirs is needed. The holistic approach needs to contain not just development economy society but also take into account negative impacts this growth environment, from that, balance between three dimensions can be sustained reach future. As such,...
Though aquaculture plays an important role in providing foods and healthy diets, there are concerns regarding the environmental sustainability of prevailing practices. This study examines trends changes fisheries originating from production Thailand provides insights into such production’s impacts sustainability. Together with extensive literature review, we investigated a time series Thai data 1995 to 2015. Overall, has significantly increased during last few decades contributed...
The aim of this study is to generate a first global overview pressures and methods used assess the environmental quality rivers streams using macroinvertebrates. In total, 314 peer-review studies were reviewed, published in period 1997 – 2018, from developing economies Africa, South-Central America, Mexico Southern Asia. To establish perspective, results literature review compared other compiled datasets, biomonitoring manuals, surveys reviews Europe, North America Australasia. showed that...
Globalization has led to the introduction of thousands alien species worldwide. With growing impacts by invasive species, understanding invasion process remains critical for predicting adverse effects and informing efficient management. Theoretically, dynamics have been assumed follow an "invasion curve" (S-shaped curve available area invaded over time), but this dynamic lacked empirical testing using large-scale data neglects consider invader abundances. We propose "impact describing...
Abstract As alien invasive species are a key driver of biodiversity loss, understanding patterns rapidly changing global compositions depends upon knowledge population dynamics and trends at large scales. Within this context, the Ponto-Caspian region is among most notable donor regions for aquatic in Europe. Using macroinvertebrate time series collected over 52 years (1968–2020) 265 sites across 11 central western European countries, we examined occurrences, invasion rates, abundances...
