To explore whether zooplankton are useful indicators of water quality in subtropical lakes
with large surrounding human populations and aquacultural activities, we conducted a study …

Functional traits are becoming more common in the analysis of marine zooplankton
community dynamics associated with environmental change. We used zooplankton groups …

Body size plays a key role in the functioning of communities and ecosystems. However, this
ecological trait is commonly under strong selection pressure by environmental drivers, such …

Eukaryotes exist widely in aquatic ecosystems. It is of great importance to study their species
composition, diversity, and relationship with environmental factors to protect and maintain …

In near-natural basins, zooplankton are key hubs for maintaining aquatic food webs and
organic matter cycles. However, the spatial patterns and drivers of zooplankton in streams …

We studied the effects of varying levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and nitrogen and
phosphorus mixture (NP) enrichment on the hatching of resting eggs to determine whether …

Anthropogenic eutrophication is altering aquatic environments by promoting primary
production. This influences the population dynamics of consumers through bottom-up …

Aims This study aims to analyze the efficiency of two novel methods for ex situ zooplankton
hatching experiments, compared with a traditional one. Both proposed methods were …

Cladoceran remains (eg, Daphnia ephippia) in sediments are usually able to accurately
reflect the historical succession of cladoceran in lakes. However, mechanisms describing …

Copepods are tiny aquatic animals. Their role in aquatic food chains is very crucial as they
are involved in organic matter circulation and energy transfer between different trophic …
