Regulation strategy for nutrient-dependent carbon and nitrogen stoichiometric homeostasis in freshwater phytoplankton

Wanzhu Li et al.

Summary: Phytoplankton carbon and nitrogen stoichiometric homeostasis is important in aquatic ecosystems, but the regulatory strategy for its plasticity is unclear. This study investigates the variations in phytoplankton C:N ratios and the regulatory strategy for cellular C-N stoichiometric homeostasis under different C and N availability. The results show that CO2 and nitrate limitations have different effects on phytoplankton C:N ratios, and different gene-regulated intensities are involved in the regulation. This study deepens the understanding of C-N stoichiometric homeostasis in freshwater phytoplankton.

Quantifying research waste in ecology

Marija Purgar et al.

Summary: This study estimates the waste in ecological research based on a literature review and meta-analysis, revealing that only 11-18% of conducted research in ecology reaches its full informative value. The authors call for urgent actions to reduce this preventable loss and suggest further research on waste in ecology as well as the development of solutions to maximize the potential of ecological research.

A common temperature dependence of nutritional demands in ectotherms

Cecilia Laspoumaderes et al.

Summary: In this study, we analyzed the thermal response of phosphorus requirements in different aquatic invertebrate ectotherms. We found that these organisms share a non-linear cubic thermal response, with phosphorus requirements decreasing at low to intermediate temperatures, increasing at higher temperatures, and decreasing again at excessive temperatures. This common thermal response is of great importance for understanding and predicting the impact of global warming and nutrient-driven eutrophication on ectotherm communities.

Heat waves rather than continuous warming exacerbate impacts of nutrient loading and herbicides on aquatic ecosystems

Peiyu Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the interactive effects of multiple stressors, including increasing temperatures, nutrient loading, and herbicides, on the growth of submerged macrophytes and other primary producers in shallow lakes. The results demonstrate that the joint impact of these stressors can alter the biomass of primary producers and their interactions, leading to a decline in macrophyte communities and a shift towards phytoplankton dominance.

Body stoichiometry of heterotrophs: Assessing drivers of interspecific variations in elemental composition

Benjamin Andrieux et al.

Summary: The study aimed to document global variations in body stoichiometry of heterotrophs and assess the drivers of this variation, focusing on carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The research compiled a global database from scientific literature on body elemental composition, finding that the variations were significantly influenced by taxonomic groups, habitat, diet, and body mass. The results showed significant interspecific variability, with taxonomic group being the strongest contributor to the differences observed.

Pelagic energy flow supports the food web of a shallow lake following a dramatic regime shift driven by water level changes

Zhigang Mao et al.

Summary: The transition from macrophyte to phytoplankton dominance in lake ecosystems can alter ecosystem structure and change the basic resources supporting the food web. Benthic invertebrates play a crucial role in this transition by transporting pelagic algae to the benthic zone, compensating for the reduction of macrophytes and epiphytes.

Making waves. Bridging theory and practice towards multiple stressor management in freshwater ecosystems

Bryan M. Spears et al.

Summary: Despite common use of single-stressor abatement approaches in freshwater management, unexpected ecological responses can occur when multiple stressors interact, highlighting the need to address limitations in developing multiple-stressor management strategies and bridge theory and practice. Practical recommendations include using empirical models and experiments to predict freshwater degradation effects in response to changes in multiple stressors.

Heavy Metals and Pesticides Toxicity in Agricultural Soil and Plants: Ecological Risks and Human Health Implications

Ahmed Alengebawy et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the toxic effects of heavy metals and pesticides on the agricultural ecosystem and human health, including accumulation, mechanism of action, and transmission pathways. The impact on soil and plants, as well as related diseases, were discussed. Additionally, the synergistic and antagonistic interactions between heavy metals and pesticides and their combined toxic effects were examined.

Heat Waves Alter Macrophyte-Derived Detrital Nutrients Release under Future Climate Warming Scenarios

Zhongqiang Li et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that both warming and heat waves can accelerate the decomposition of aquatic plant detritus and the release of carbon. However, there are significant differences in the amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus released between the two warming treatments. Additionally, the responses of nitrogen and phosphorus release to the two treatments are asymmetric, possibly due to species-specific responses to temperature fluctuations and litter quality.

Changes in Pelagic Fish Community Composition, Abundance, and Biomass along a Productivity Gradient in Subtropical Lakes

Jinlei Yu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in fish community structure in 36 lakes in the Yangtze River basin, finding that fish species richness and total fish catch per unit effort increased significantly with chlorophyll a. The proportion of different feeding types of fish changed with Chla, with small-sized fish species dominating in subtropical lakes. More attention should be paid to the population dynamics of these abundant small fish species in the future.
