Mediterranean coastal wetlands are considered biodiversity hot-spots and contain a high
number of endemic species. The biodiversity of these ecosystems is endangered by several …

Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and
figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and …

Climate warming may lead to changes in the trophic structure and diversity of shallow lakes
as a combined effect of increased temperature and salinity and likely increased strength of …

This paper analyzes whether physicochemical properties significantly influence the
occurrence of zooplankton in a brackish reservoir. The studies were carried out on the …

The plankton community of sixteen saline lakes located on Onon-Torey plain (Northeastern
Mongolia) during the filling phase and the raising of the water level was investigated in July …

Some of the predicted effects of climate warming in Mediterranean climate are the increase
of temperature, change of precipitation patterns and the rise in sea levels. This will have …

Man-made ponds are often created to compensate for the loss and degradation of wetlands,
but little is known about the processes taking place in these artificial environments …

Size spectra show common patterns of variation among ecosystem types, functional guilds
and taxonomic groups, as well as predictable responses to pressures. Here, we extend the …

We compared morphometric and physico-chemical characteristics of farm ponds and natural
wetlands in Andalusia (southern Spain) to determine whether artificial waterbodies might act …

Agricultural intensification has caused dramatic biodiversity loss in many agricultural
landscapes over the last century. Here, we investigated whether new types of farm ponds …
