Cyanobacteria can form dense and sometimes toxic blooms in freshwater and marine
environments, which threaten ecosystem functioning and degrade water quality for …

As blooms of cyanobacteria expand and intensify in freshwater systems globally, there is
increasing interest in their ecological effects. In addition to being public health hazards …

While many streams and rivers are dominated by terrestrial inputs of organic carbon, algae
are an important trophic base for stream food webs. However, the nutritional importance of …

Abstract The (Lower) Lake of Zurich provides an ideal system for studying the long‐term
impact of environmental change on deep‐water hypoxia because of its sensitivity to climatic …

Microbiota have diverse roles in the functioning of their hosts; experiments using model
organisms have enabled investigations into these functions. In the model crustacean …

The efficiency of energy transfer through food chains [food chain efficiency (FCE)] is an
important ecosystem function. It has been hypothesized that FCE across multiple trophic …

Eutrophication (as an increase in total phosphorus [TP]) increases harmful algal blooms and
reduces the proportion of high-quality phytoplankton in seston and the content of ω-3 long …

In the forthcoming decades, it is widely believed that the dominance of colonial and
filamentous bloom‐forming cyanobacteria (eg M icrocystis, P lanktothrix, A nabaena and C …

Microcystins and nodularins are among the most common cyanobacterial toxins. These
potent cyclic peptide hepatotoxins are produced by a large diversity of cyanobacterial …

The growth and reproduction of animals is affected by their access to resources. In aquatic
ecosystems, the availability of essential biomolecules for filter-feeding zooplankton depends …
