DOI: 10.1002/lno.11868
Abstract: Aquatic habitats are closely linked to surrounding terrestrial systems via reciprocal subsidies. Much of the research on aquatic–terrestrial subsidies has focused on streams and lakes, while subsidies across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries of other systems, like temporary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.03.016
Abstract: Abstract Human-induced impact on the biocoenoses in small water bodies within field landscape, aquatic ecosystems undergoing habitat loss, is not only restricted to trophic increase. Ponds are often used for amateur fish production, mainly carp… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep43983
Abstract: Understanding the colonisation process in zooplankton is crucial for successful restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we analyzed the clonal and genetic structure of the cyclical parthenogenetic rotifer Brachionus plicatilis by following populations established in new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aje.70093
Abstract: Protecting the diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates in ponds requires maintaining their habitat integrity. In areas with livestock grazing, fencing ponds effectively protects aquatic vegetation from grazing and prevents livestock from trampling. In this study, we… read more here.
