By any measure, fishes are among the world's most important natural resources. Annual
exploitation from wild populations exceeds 90 million tonnes, and fish supply over 15% of …

Charophytes, ie extant and fossil members of the order Charales plus the members of the
extinct orders Sycidiales and Moellerinales, are closely related to modern land plants. These …

We reviewed lakes in New Zealand reported to have undergone regime shifts between
macrophyte‐dominated clear water states and de‐vegetated, turbid states. Regime‐shifting …

Abstract Changes in water clarity (secchi disc transparency) in relation to the
presence/absence of introduced, exotic fish, including rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) …

Stoneworts (Charales) are green algae that represent an important food resource for many
waterbird species in Europe and elsewhere. Browsing avian herbivores (eg swan, goose …

Multiple stressors such as climate change and eutrophication are responsible for the global
decline in macrophytes in lakes. The loss of this key component can result in turbid …

Many animals that consume freshwater macrophytes are omnivorous (ie, they include both
plant and animal matter in their diet). For invertebrate omnivorous consumers, selection of …

Submerged macrophytes enhance water transparency and aquatic biodiversity in shallow
water ecosystems. Therefore, the return of submerged macrophytes is the target of many …

Charophytes are a key group of submerged macrophytes in temperate hardwater lakes, but
have declined or been replaced by angiosperms as a result of eutrophication for more than …

Rising temperatures likely affect the trophic interactions in temperate regions as global
warming progresses. An open question is how a temperature rise may affect consumer …
