Researchers from the University of Konstanz's Limnological Institute and the Brandenburg State Office for the Environment closely studied the effects of growing motorboat usage on lakes and developed recommendations to make ...
Creating genomes from DNA is hugely important for managing threatened species—understanding their past and how they have adapted to their environment helps conservationists protect them.
Lakes are essential to ecosystems, providing freshwater, supporting biodiversity and offering crucial habitat for fish and other aquatic species.
Rainfall can have dramatic effects on the microbial communities living in urban lakes, a new paper published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology reveals.
Ecologists celebrated the release of thousands of palm-sized lake sturgeon into the Maumee River in 2018, kicking off an ambitious two-decade plan to re-establish the ancient species in the waters it once called home.
A new review article published in the Journal of Environmental Management summarizes the current state of knowledge on the occurrence of tire wear particles and the release of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. The researchers ...
Not much attention is paid to plankton because these creatures are usually hidden from sight. They are mostly microscopic in size and live in aquatic environments, but human lives are intricately connected with plankton.
Decades of efforts to eradicate invasive smallmouth bass from a midsized Adirondack lake have led to a surprising result: The bass rapidly evolved to grow faster and invest more in early reproduction, leading to an even larger ...
In many rivers, only a small amount of streamflow remains for nature after water is diverted for hydropower production. In light of climate change and biodiversity loss, this is having increasingly serious consequences. Researchers ...
Researchers from the HUN-REN Center for Ecological Research have developed a novel three-dimensional modeling method that accurately quantifies how microalgae affect underwater light conditions—one of the most critical factors ...
