Reynolds Functional Groups: a trait-based pathway from patterns to predictions
C Kruk, M Devercelli, VL Huszar - Hydrobiologia, 2021 - Springer
Abstract Reynolds Functional Groups (RFG) were designed to represent the diversity of
phytoplankton assemblages of freshwater ecosystems and are among the most enduring …

From historical backgrounds towards the functional classification of river phytoplankton sensu Colin S. Reynolds: what future merits the approach may hold?
River phytoplankton has been studied to understand its occurrence and composition since
the end of the nineteenth century. Later, pioneers addressed mechanisms that affected river …

Machine learning methods for imbalanced data set for prediction of faecal contamination in beach waters
Predicting water contamination by statistical models is a useful tool to manage health risk in
recreational beaches. Extreme contamination events, ie those exceeding normative are …

Influences of pesticides, nutrients, and local environmental variables on phytoplankton communities in lentic small water bodies in a German lowland agricultural area
Agrochemicals such as pesticides and nutrients are concurrent chemical stressors in
freshwater aquatic ecosystems surrounded by agricultural areas. Lentic small water bodies …

Functional richness outperforms taxonomic richness in predicting ecosystem functioning in natural phytoplankton communities
Recent studies clearly support a positive biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF)
relationship in phytoplankton. As taxon richness does not quantify functional diversity …

Distinct indicators of land use and hydrology characterize different aspects of riverine phytoplankton communities
Given the many threats to freshwater biodiversity, we need to be able to resolve which of the
multiple stressors present in rivers are most important in driving change. Phytoplankton are …

Biological traits approaches in benthic marine ecology: Dead ends and new paths
Biological traits analysis (BTA) links community structure to both ecological functions and
response to environmental drivers through species' attributes. In consequence, it has …
