Scientists' warning to humanity on the freshwater biodiversity crisis

James S. Albert et al.

Summary: Freshwater ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, ecosystem productivity, and human health and welfare. However, human impacts are leading to rapid declines in freshwater biodiversity and the loss of critical natural resources and services, with the degradation occurring more quickly than in terrestrial ecosystems. To address these challenges, urgent policy actions are needed to promote clean water, conserve watershed services, and restore freshwater ecosystems.

Lakes in the era of global change: moving beyond single-lake thinking in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services

Jani Heino et al.

Summary: Lakes are crucial for maintaining ecological balance and providing ecosystem services, but face challenges like invasion by non-native species and accumulation of harmful substances in the Anthropocene. Interdisciplinary research and integration of models are essential for the restoration and management of lake biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Macroecology of macrophytes in the freshwater realm: Patterns, mechanisms and implications

Janne Alahuhta et al.

Summary: The study highlights the emergence of general macroecological rules from broad-scale research on species distributions and diversity, focusing on aquatic macrophytes. It suggests that while some macroecological patterns are well-supported for aquatic macrophytes, others lack sufficient information. Unlike terrestrial plants, the distribution of freshwater plants is mainly influenced by local explanatory variables. The review identifies knowledge gaps and advocates for further macroecological investigations on freshwater plants.

Macrophyte stand complexity explains the functional alpha and beta diversity of fish in a tropical river-floodplain

Barbara Angelio Quirino et al.

Summary: The study found that the density and diversity of aquatic macrophytes can influence the functional alpha and beta diversity of fish communities. Stands with intermediate macrophyte density and high diversity had the highest functional alpha diversity, while functional beta diversity was mainly affected by changes in macrophyte density. Stands with low and high functional alpha diversity contributed the most to functional beta diversity.

Towards a more balanced combination of multiple traits when computing functional differences between species

Francesco de Bello et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new method to produce multi-trait dissimilarity with more uniform contributions from different traits. This is crucial for interpreting the ecological effects of complex species differences. The gawdis r package has potential applications in improving equitability in distance-based measures in various fields of research.

Revisiting global trends in freshwater insect biodiversity

Sonja C. Jaehnig et al.

Summary: A recent global meta-analysis showed a decrease in terrestrial insect abundance but an increase in freshwater insect abundance. The authors suggested that water quality improvement may have contributed to this trend. However, total abundance and biomass alone are not sufficient indicators of freshwater insect assemblages, and many datasets used in the analysis may not accurately represent global trends.

Accounting for multiple dimensions of biodiversity to assess surrogate performance in a freshwater conservation prioritization

Kyle J. Brumm et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationships among taxonomic richness, functional diversity, functional redundancy, and biotic integrity for freshwater fish and benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the Congaree Biosphere Region. It found that patterns of taxonomic and functional diversity among organism groups were complementary, with implications for surrogate performance. The study also suggested that within-taxa variation among measures of taxonomic and functional diversity may be more important to consider than the taxonomic representation of multiple organism groups.

Local contributions to beta diversity in urban pond networks: Implications for biodiversity conservation and management

Matthew J. Hill et al.

Summary: Understanding how biotic communities are spatially organized is important for landscape-scale biodiversity conservation. Local contribution to beta diversity (LCBD) can help identify key habitats for conservation within habitat networks. By incorporating LCBD and sites with high taxonomic diversity into conservation prioritization approaches, the effectiveness of conservation actions within pond habitat networks can be improved to protect high biodiversity sites and define a spatial network of protected sites. New, effective conservation approaches are essential in urban areas to ensure biodiversity is supported and harmful human impacts are reduced.

Protecting local water quality has global benefits

John A. Downing et al.

Summary: Economic assessment of global methane emissions from eutrophication-driven lakes reveals significant social costs, exceeding local water quality benefits. Mitigating lake methane emissions presents a huge economic potential for savings.

The dimensionality and structure of species trait spaces

David Mouillot et al.

Summary: Trait-based ecology aims to understand the impact of organismal trait diversity on ecosystem functioning and involves clustering species based on traits to identify those with unique combinations. A synthesis across multiple datasets shows a trade-off between trait space quality and operability between three to six dimensions, with low but variable robustness to trait omission. Invariant scaling relationships are highlighted, showing that as species richness increases, the number of unique species saturates while species disproportionately pack in the richest cluster.

Environmental diversity as a reliable surrogacy strategy of marine biodiversity: A case study of marine mammals

Yaiyr Astudillo-Scalia et al.

Summary: Surrogates are used in conservation planning when information about species' geographical distributions is insufficient. Environmental diversity (ED) is a promising surrogacy strategy that uses environmental dissimilarity between sites to select areas for conservation. This study finds that ED is an effective surrogate for marine mammals and may also be useful for prioritizing conservation sites for other marine taxa.
