Co-occurrence, ecological profiles and geographical distribution based on unique molecular identifiers of the common freshwater diatoms Fragilaria and Ulnaria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Diatom taxonomy has evolved in recent years, with many new species described and new approaches such as molecular genetics showing the existence of cryptic diversity within currently accepted species. This cryptic diversity ... -
A global assessment of lake restoration in practice: New insights and future perspectives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A global survey of 179 restoration practitioners spanning 65 countries identified the extent of stakeholder engagement as a key factor determining the success or failure of restoration projects. Lack of support across ... -
A global perspective on the application of riverine macroinvertebrates as biological indicators in Africa, South-Central America, Mexico and Southern Asia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of this study is to generate a first global overview of pressures and methods used to assess the environmental quality of rivers and streams using macroinvertebrates. In total, 314 peer-review studies were reviewed, ... -
Integrated assessment of ecological status and misclassification of lakes: The role of uncertainty and index combination rules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires that the ecological status of waterbodies is assessed using multiple biological quality elements (BQEs) that are combined into a single status class. The recommended ... -
Land use contribution to spatiotemporal stream water and ecological quality: Implications for water resources management in peri-urban catchments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change and intensifying agricultural production and urbanization are central factors driving the global freshwater biodiversity decline. To design sustainable green transition schemes and support urban planning, a ... -
Leaf breakdown rates as a functional indicator were influenced by an invasive non-native invertebrate in urban ponds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Impacts on biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems are often overlooked in small waterbodies as they are not regularly monitored as part of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). These small systems are, however, often ... -
Same same, but different: The response of diatoms to environmental gradients in Fennoscandian streams and lakes – barcodes, traits and microscope data compared
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We developed and compared the performance of freshwater benthic diatom indices calculated from (i) traditional morphological species identification, (ii) Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) obtained via DNA metabarcoding, ... -
Stable isotope analysis indicates positive effects of river restoration on aquatic-terrestrial linkages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Hydromorphological river restoration can significantly alter habitat configuration and modify invertebrate assemblages of rivers and floodplains. However, the consequences of these changes for ecosystem functioning and ...
