The natural conservation of coastal lagoons is important not only for their ecological importance, but also because the valuable ecosystem services they provide human welfare and wellbeing. Coastal are shallow semi-enclosed systems that support habitats such as wetlands, mangroves, salt-marshes seagrass meadows, well a rich biodiversity. complex social-ecological with livelihoods, wellbeing to humans. This study assessed, quantified valued 32 lagoons. main findings are: (i) definitions still...
Ion-specific standards are needed to protect biodiversity
Abstract Aim Meta‐community structure is a function of both local (site‐specific) and regional (landscape‐level) ecological factors, the relative importance each may be mediated by dispersal ability organisms. Here, we used aquatic invertebrate communities to investigate relationship between factors in explaining distance decay relationships ( DDR s) fragmented dendritic stream networks. Location Dryland streams distributed within 400‐km 2 section San Pedro River basin, south‐eastern...
Humans are globally increasing the salt concentration of freshwaters (i.e. freshwater salinization), leading to significant effects at population, community and ecosystem level. The present theme issue focuses on priority research questions delivers results that contribute shaping future agenda salinization as well fostering our capacity manage salinization. is structured along five topics: (i) estimation salinity evaluation relative contribution different drivers; (ii) physiological...
Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable biodiversity loss
Significance The salinity of freshwater ecosystems is increasing worldwide. Given that most organisms have no recent evolutionary history with high salinity, we expect them to a low tolerance elevated caused by road deicing salts, agricultural practices, mining operations, and climate change. Leveraging the results from network experiments conducted across North America Europe, showed salt pollution triggers massive loss important zooplankton taxa, which led increased phytoplankton biomass...
Abstract The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals have been established to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. Delivery of will require a healthy productive environment. An understanding impacts chemicals which can negatively impact environmental health is therefore essential delivery Goals. However, current research on regulation in environment tend take simplistic view do not account complexity real world, inhibits way we manage chemicals. There an...
Abstract Aim Metacommunity assembly mechanisms have been traditionally considered stable through time. However, in highly dynamic systems with varying local environmental conditions and patch connectivity, communities are likely to experience temporal shifts their mechanisms. Here, we used a set of perennial ( PR ) intermittent IR rivers assess if vary seasonally response flow intermittence. Location Mediterranean climate region (100,000 km 2 ), Spain. Methods We modelling approach the...
Dispersal is an essential process in population and community dynamics, but difficult to measure the field. In freshwater ecosystems, information on biological traits related organisms' morphology, life history behaviour provides useful dispersal proxies, remains scattered or unpublished for many taxa. We compiled multiple dispersal-related of European aquatic macroinvertebrates a unique resource, DISPERSE database. includes nine subdivided into 39 trait categories 480 taxa, including...
Hydrology is a fundamental factor influencing ecosystem dynamics, life-history strategies, and diversity patterns in running-water habitats. However, it remains unclear how hydrology may structure the taxonomic functional composition of communities, especially systems with high spatiotemporal variability flow. We examined invertebrate from 7 desert streams Huachuca Mountains southeastern Arizona, USA, that span flow permanence continuum highly intermittent to perennial. relative roles...
Temporary rivers are characterized by shifting habitats between flowing, isolated pools, and dry phases. Despite the fact that temporary currently receiving increasing attention researchers managers, pools phase has been largely disregarded. However, in transitional of major ecological relevance as they support aquatic ecosystems during no-flow periods, can act refugees for maintaining local regional freshwater biodiversity. Pool characteristics such surface water permanence size, presence...
Rapid shifts in biotic communities due to environmental variability challenge the detection of anthropogenic impacts by current biomonitoring programs. Metacommunity ecology has potential inform such programs, because it combines dispersal processes with niche-based approaches and recognizes community composition. Using intermittent rivers-prevalent highly dynamic ecosystems that sometimes dry-we develop a conceptual model illustrate how limitation flow intermittence influence performance...
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 Human‐induced salinization increasingly threatens inland waters; yet we know little about the multifaceted response of lake communities to salt contamination. By conducting a coordinated mesocosm experiment across 16 sites in North America and Europe, quantified zooplankton abundance (taxonomic functional) community structure broad gradient environmentally relevant chloride concentrations, ranging from 4 ca. 1400 mg Cl − L −1 . We found that crustaceans were distinctly more...
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...
