Regime shifts between free-floating plants and phytoplankton: a review
(Springer, 2014-11)
Field studies evidence shifts between phytoplankton and free-floating plant regimes; yet, it is unclear what drives these shifts and if they are critical transitions (alternative stable states). In this review, we synthesized ...
Chemical repellency and adverse effects of free-floating macrophytes on the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia under two temperature levels
(Springer Tokyo, 2013-06)
Macrophytes can structure biological assemblages in subtropical lakes. Zooplankton often uses them as a refuge, but in the absence of predators many species frequently avoid them. It is hypothesized that plant exudates can ...
Colonization and Succession of Zooplankton After a Drought: Influence of Hydrology and Free-Floating Plant Dynamics in a Floodplain Lake
(Springer, 2016-02)
We analyzed zooplankton colonization and succession following a temporary drought in a vegetated lake from a floodplain wetland of the Lower Paraná River (Argentina). We took samples of zooplankton and phytoplankton at ...
The structuring role of free-floating plants on the fish community in a tropical shallow lake: an experimental approach with natural and artificial plants
(2016-09-01)
Free-floating plants are important components of aquatic ecosystems in tropical climates, playing a key role in the structure and spatial distribution of fish communities. This study aims at elucidating the potential effects ...
Drivers shaping phytoplankton diversity and composition in a humid Pampean floodplain lake (Natural Reserve)
(Springer, 2015-06)
We aimed to identify the driver/s of phytoplankton diversity (gamma, beta, alpha) and community composition in a Pampean floodplain wetland (Otamendi), using species and functional groups. We performed a seasonal regional ...
Temporal and spatial patterns of macroinvertebrates associated with small and medium-sized free-floating plants
(Springer, 2013-02)
Macrophytes play an important role in structuring communities in aquatic ecosystems due to their influence on ecological processes and attributes of biological aquatic assemblages. Freshwater macroinvertebrates comprise a ...
Growth of free-floating aquatic macrophytes in different concentrations of nutrients
(Springer, 2008-09-01)
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus on the growth of the free-floating aquatic macrophytes Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes, and Salvinia ...
Size fractionated phytoplankton production in two humic shallow lakes with contrasting coverage of free floating plants
(Springer, 2012-07)
We conducted a 1-year survey in two humic shallow lakes from the floodplain of the Lower Paraná River, Laguna Grande Lake (LGL) and a relictual oxbow lake (ROL). We aimed to test two hypotheses: (1) the efficiency in light ...
How free-floating macrophytes influence interactions between planktivorous fish and zooplankton in tropical environments? An in-lake mesocosm approach
(2020-03-01)
In tropical climates, free-floating aquatic plants may dominate shallow lakes and affect trophic interactions between zooplankton and their predators have been presented as an important subject to be investigated. The ...
