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 ... -
Global benthic biogeographical regions and macroecological drivers for ophiuroids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Delineating biogeographical regions can provide important insights into the processes shaping large-scale species distribution patterns. Here we aimed to 1) identify global marine benthic biogeographical regions for ... -
The global EPTO database: Worldwide occurrences of aquatic insects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Motivation Aquatic insects comprise 64% of freshwater animal diversity and are widely used as bioindicators to assess water quality impairment and freshwater ecosystem health, as well as to test ecological hypotheses. ... -
Global estimates of the extent and production of macroalgal forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Macroalgal habitats are believed to be the most extensive and productive of all coastal vegetated ecosystems. In stark contrast to the growing attention on their contribution to carbon export and sequestration, understanding ... -
Global kelp forest restoration: past lessons, present status, and future directions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Kelp forest ecosystems and their associated ecosystem services are declining around the world. In response, marine managers are working to restore and counteract these declines. Kelp restoration first started in the 1700s ... -
A global multinational survey of cefotaxime-resistant coliforms in urban wastewater treatment plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The World Health Organization Global Action Plan recommends integrated surveillance programs as crucial strategies for monitoring antibiotic resistance. Although several national surveillance programs are in place for ... -
Global patterns in the metacommunity structuring of lake macrophytes: regional variations and driving factors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We studied community–environment relationships of lake macrophytes at two metacommunity scales using data from 16 regions across the world. More specifically, we examined (a) whether the lake macrophyte communities respond ... -
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, ... -
Global transcriptional analysis of short-term hepatic stress responses in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to depleted uranium
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Potential environmental hazards of radionuclides are often studied at the individual level. Sufficient toxicogenomics data at the molecular/cellular level for understanding the effects and modes of toxic action (MoAs) of ... -
Grazers extend blue carbon transfer by slowing sinking speeds of kelp detritus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Marine plant communities such as kelp forests produce significant amounts of detritus, most of which is exported to areas where it can constitute an important trophic subsidy or potentially be sequestered in marine sediments. ... -
Greener rivers in a changing climate?—Effects of climate and hydrological regime on benthic algal assemblages in pristine streams
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Excessive biomass development of benthic algae is often considered undesirable, but understanding the causes is confounded by complex interactions among driving factors. Pristine rivers allow a benchmark where human ... -
Greenhouse gas emissions from urban ponds in Denmark
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ponds are increasingly recognized as significant sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted to the atmosphere. Concomitant with increasing urbanization, more urban ponds are created, many with the aim of buffering peak ... -
Growth and Nutrient Uptake Characteristics of Heterosigma akashiwo (Raphidophyceae) under Nitrogen and Phosphorus Concentrations in the East China Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Heterosigma akashiwo is classified as a harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that frequently occurs in eutrophic coastal waters and results in the contamination and mortality of fish and shellfish. The growth of H. akashiwo ... -
Growth inhibition in Raphidocelis subcapita – Evidence of nanospecific toxicity of silver nanoparticles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Silver, known for its antibacterial properties and for its toxicity to aquatic organisms, is one of the most frequently used nanomaterials and silver nanoparticles can be found in a range of consumer products as well as ... -
Growth responses of the nuisance algae Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyceae) to DOC and associated alterations of light quality and quantity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In recent decades, the freshwater alga Gonyostomum semen (Ehrenberg) Diesing has increased in abundance and distribution, which has created problems regarding the use of lakes for drinking water and recreation. Increases ... -
