Modelling beta diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates in High Andean wetlands
(Cnr Ist Italiano Idrobiologia, 2017-06)
Central Andean Highlands represent a singular environment characterized by various extreme conditions. Among them, peatbogs are exceptional marshy habitats scattered throughout this arid and harsh area. In an effort to ...
Epi- and endobiont faunal communities on an Egyptian Mediterranean rocky shore: Species composition and their competition for space
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2020-05)
The exposed calcareous rocky area of the Abu Qir Headland, east of Alexandria, Egypt whichrange from coarse grains, through pebbles, cobbles, and boulders to rocky platforms, was significantlycolonized by sclerobionts ...
Differential use of trophic resources between an exotic and a coexisting native snail
(Springer Tokyo, 2021-08-11)
Knowing the interactions between exotic and native species is essential to establish possible threats to the local fauna. In this study, we assessed the use of food resources and diet overlap between a recently introduced ...
The meiofauna as neglected carriers of antibiotic resistant and pathogenic bacteria in freshwater ecosystems
(Cnr Ist Italiano Idrobiologia, 2021-11-29)
The World Health Organization considers antibiotic resistance as one of the main threats to human and other animals? health. Despite the measures used to limit the spread of antibiotic resistance, the efforts made are not ...
Primary production of phytoplankton and periphyton in two humic lakes of a South American wetland
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-01)
Seasonal primary productivities of periphyton and phytoplankton were compared in Grande Lake (GL) and a relict oxbow lake (ROL) in winter 2006 and summer 2007. GL was free of floating plants on the sampling dates and covered ...
Dissolved organic matter as P source for biofilms in two contrasting low-order streams
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2019-12)
Forest streams receive large amounts of leaves whose leachates are an important source of dissolved organicmatter (DOM), providing not only carbon but also organic nutrients to the microbial communities in streams.I carried ...
Effect of a dam on epilithic algal communities of a mountain stream: before-after dam construction comparison
(PAGEPress, 2013-02)
In this study we evaluated the effect of a dam on epilithic algal communities by analyzing community response after dam construction and by comparing community composition, structure and biomass upstream and downstream of ...
Horizontal distribution of rotifers in a subtropical shallow lake (Paraná floodplain, Argentina)
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2012-05)
In water bodies where cladocerans are typically small or present in low biomass, such as in the tropics and subtropics of South America, rotifers may play a larger role in ecosystem functioning than in temperate lakes. The ...
Volcanic and environmental impacts on subfossil chironomids from Northern Patagonia (Argentina) over the last 700 years
(Springer Tokyo, 2021-07)
Southern South America, especially Patagonia, presents numerous glacial lakes holding proxies of past environmental and climate changes. This is useful to reconstruct past environmental changes, key for understanding ...
Dispersal traits as benthic invertebrate assemblage drivers in a neotropical large river
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2020-04-21)
Metacommunity theory is a mechanistic framework that explains the interdependence of local factors and regional processes as community drivers. Recent evidence suggests that dispersal mode is a key trait that potentially ...
