Fish assemblages on two continents respond to valley- and reach-scale hydrogeomorphic variation: Analyses across three temperate ecoregions
Top-down and bottom-up coupling effects of subsidies on recipient ecosystems
Geodiversity of a European river network controls algal biodiversity and function
Are riverine lowland lakes a distinct European lake type according to the EU WFD?
A candidate sex determination locus in amphibians which evolved by structural variation between X- and Y-chromosomes
The authors have identified a gene locus responsible for sex determination in the European green toad. This reveals only the second known genetic mechanism for sex differentiation in amphibians.
Correlation of methane production with physiological traits in Trichodesmium IMS 101 grown with methylphosphonate at different temperatures
Complete genome sequencing of Hortaea werneckii M-3 for identifying polyester polyurethane degrading enzymes
Human activities shape global patterns of decomposition rates in rivers
Inland navigation and land use interact to impact European freshwater biodiversity
Using a comprehensive set of long-term data, the authors show that shipping has contributed to a significant loss of biodiversity of fish and macroinvertebrates in European rivers in recent decades – and that the animal communities are becoming increasingly homogeneous and river-typical species are being lost. Invasive species, on the other hand, are significantly increasing.
Flow Rate and Kinetics of Trace Organic Contaminants Removal in Black Carbon-Amended Engineered Media Filters for Improved Stormwater Runoff Treatment
Urban stormwater runoff is an untapped source of freshwater for many water-scarce regions, but improved stormwater treatment is needed for safe use and to protect human and aquatic health. This work provides insights into the kinetic limitations of contaminant removal within biochar and regenerated activated carbon filters and discusses implications for stormwater filter design and operation.
