Cyanobacteria as biological drivers of lake nitrogen and phosphorus cycling

KL Cottingham, HA Ewing, ML Greer, CC Carey… - …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Here we draw attention to the potential for pelagic bloom‐forming cyanobacteria to have
substantial effects on nutrient cycling and ecosystem resilience across a wide range of …

Biomanipulation as a nature-based solution to reduce cyanobacterial blooms

L Triest, I Stiers, S Van Onsem - Aquatic ecology, 2016 - Springer
We considered the limnological literature for an overview of biomanipulation methods that
were implemented to avoid or reduce cyanobacterial bloom development in ponds and …

Can tropical freshwater zooplankton graze efficiently on cyanobacteria?

S Kâ, JM Mendoza-Vera, M Bouvy, G Champalbert… - Hydrobiologia, 2012 - Springer
Zooplankton may at times graze cyanobacteria. However, their top-down effects are
considered to be low, particularly in tropical regions dominated by small-size grazers that …

Does submerged aquatic vegetation shape zooplankton community structure and functional diversity? A test with a shallow fluvial lake system

P Bolduc, A Bertolo, B Pinel-Alloul - Hydrobiologia, 2016 - Springer
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) plays important roles in shallow lakes. In addition to its
refuge effect for zooplankton, one key role of SAV is to provide diverse ecological niches to …

Occurrence and toxicity of the cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia echinulata in low-nutrient lakes in the northeastern United States

CC Carey, HA Ewing, KL Cottingham, KC Weathers… - Aquatic Ecology, 2012 - Springer
To date, most research on cyanobacterial blooms has focused on high-nutrient, not low-
nutrient lakes. We investigated reports of the cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia echinulata in …

Fungal parasites of a toxic inedible cyanobacterium provide food to zooplankton

T Frenken, J Wierenga, E van Donk… - Limnology and …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
During the end of spring and throughout summer, large‐sized phytoplankton taxa often
proliferate and form dense blooms in freshwater ecosystems. In many cases, they are …

Phytoplankton response to the environmental and climatic variability in a temperate lake over the last 14,500 years in eastern Latvia

N Stivrins, P Kołaczek, T Reitalu, H Seppä… - Journal of …, 2015 - Springer
Phytoplankton species are the primary producers in lakes and play important roles in food-

Microcystins bioaccumulate but do not biomagnify in an experimental aquatic food chain

D Glidewell, JE Beyer, KD Hambright - Harmful Algae, 2025 - Elsevier
Microcystins—common hepatotoxins produced by cyanobacteria—have been detected in a
wide range of organisms, though research examining the trophic transfer of microcystins and …

Rivulariaceae

BA Whitton, P Mateo - Ecology of Cyanobacteria II: their diversity in space …, 2012 - Springer
The Rivulariaceae are treated here as all the cyanobacteria which have trichomes with a
marked taper and a basal heterocyst for much of their growth cycle. Molecular sequencing of …

Towards understanding the abundance of non-pollen palynomorphs: A comparison of fossil algae, algal pigments and sedaDNA from temperate lake sediments
