They are required to build cellular structures such as cell membranes, serve as energy storage, and take part in signal transduction cascades. For decades, ecological research investigated how dietary fatty acid availability contributes to the fitness of individuals and their populations. The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is of particular interest because its dietary availability determines the fitness of many aquatic consumers. Because of the small body size of zooplankton, only bulk tissue fatty acid analysis was previously performed, and thus the tissue-specific importance of EPA for zooplankton remained elusive. We used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) to reveal the tissue-specific distribution of functional phospholipids in the herbivorous zooplankton Daphnia magna. We demonstrate several lipid species for heart, egg, gut, gonad, somatic, and neurological tissues of D. magna, including the compound eye as well as the optical and cerebral ganglion. The compound eye revealed a large diversity in lipid species containing EPA, which were also found in other neurological tissues and eggs. Such knowledge of tissue-specific fatty acid requirements is essential to investigate how selective allocation of dietary fatty acids within this key grazer affects processes on a functional and molecular level from the individual to food web scales. This methodological advancement will facilitate investigations on how invertebrate physiology and behaviour adjust to changing environmental conditions and potentially affect food web structures, including the trophic transfer of dietary fatty acids.","PeriodicalId":49061,"journal":{"name":"Inland Waters","volume":"13 1","pages":"111 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49093725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among populations and assemblages there is overwhelming evidence that size- or stage-specific effects on niche occur mainly in habitat and food dimensions. A 2019 study by E. P. Silva and others, “Habitat segregation among freshwater shrimp species in an Amazonian rainforest stream system,” showed that Amazonian small-stream shrimp species show only slight habitat segregation at the scale of 50 m stream reaches, but that study did not take into account possible effects of intraspecific and interspecific differences in body size on habitat selection. We investigated through nighttime observations if conspecific shrimp of different sizes overlap in habitat use and whether heterospecific individuals of similar sizes differ in habitat use. Generalized linear mixed models were used to test possible relationships between body size and habitat features, and multivariate linear analysis and latent-variable model-based ordination were used to test for intraspecific and interspecific differences in habitat use. Mean frequency of use of habitat features differed among shrimp of different sizes and species, but use of habitat components strongly overlapped. Interspecific habitat overlap was greater among small individuals than large individuals. Our results indicate that size is not a major driver of habitat segregation in shrimp populations and assemblages, although it provides evidence of subtle ontogenetic shifts in habitat use by conspecifics of different sizes as well as differences between individuals of different species with similar sizes.","PeriodicalId":49061,"journal":{"name":"Inland Waters","volume":"13 1","pages":"121 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44267654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Headwater stream sediments, especially fine sediments, are essential ecosystem components and dominant reservoirs for heavy metals, with these reservoirs significantly affecting their cycling in streams. However, the dynamics of heavy metals in headwater stream sediments are not well assessed in the literature. Here, we assessed the temporal and spatial storage dynamics of several common heavy metals (i.e., Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, and Pb) in the fine sediments from a typical subtropical forest headwater stream during the rainy season of 2021 (Mar–Aug). We found that (1) the mean storage of fine sediment of heavy metals was ordered Mn (21.57 g m−2) > Pb (2.53 g m−2) > Zn (2.27 g m−2) > Cr (0.66 g m−2) > Cu (0.12 g m−2) > Cd (0.006 g m−2); (2) their storage had a transient increase during the rainy season, followed by a decrease, but storage of both Zn and Cr was unevenly distributed from stream source to mouth; and (3) the key factors controlling heavy metal storage were water alkalinity, temperature, and pH, as well as monthly precipitation. These findings suggest that forest headwater streams can store heavy metals, but the amounts vary across temporal and spatial scales. Our results help us better understand the role of headwater streams in storing and transferring materials in forest ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":49061,"journal":{"name":"Inland Waters","volume":"13 1","pages":"131 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49279909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They provide diverse ecosystem services (ESs), including water quality improvement and supply, food provisioning, and biodiversity support, despite significant pressure from multiple anthropogenic stressors and the impacts of ongoing global change. However, ponds are largely overlooked in management plans and legislation, and ecological research has focused on large freshwater ecosystems, such as rivers or lakes. Protection of ponds is often insufficient or indirectly provided via associated habitats such as wetlands. This situation is likely exacerbated by the lack of a full-scale understanding of the importance of ponds. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of permanent ponds across Europe, including their usages and the biodiversity they support. By discussing the concepts of pondscape and metacommunity theory, we highlight the importance of connectivity among and between ponds and identified fluxes of emerging insects as another ES of ponds. Those insects are rich in essential nutrients such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), delivered through them to the terrestrial environment; however, the extent and impact of this ES remains largely unexplored. Several potential stressors, especially related to ongoing global change, that influence pond diversity and integrity are discussed. We provide our insights on future pond management. Adaptive measures, taking into account the pond system per se within the pondscape, are the most promising to mitigate the loss of natural ponds and restore and conserve natural small waterbodies as refuges and diversity hotspots in increasingly urbanized landscapes.","PeriodicalId":49061,"journal":{"name":"Inland Waters","volume":"13 1","pages":"30 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43400876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elodea canadensis (Canadian waterweed) is a submerged aquatic macrophyte native to southern Canada and the 48 contiguous United States but invasive in Alaska. The purpose of our study was to compare aquatic macroinvertebrate communities associated with E. canadensis in native (Illinois) and invasive (Alaska) areas. Functional feeding group community structure of E. canadensis-associated macroinvertebrates was different in the invasive and native range. Collector-filterer relative abundance was higher in the invasive range, whereas predator-engulfer relative abundance was higher in the native range. Furthermore, shredder-herbivore density in E. canadensis beds was higher in the native range than in the invasive range. Our results suggest that the successful establishment of E. canadensis in Alaska is likely facilitated by reduced herbivory and that the continued spread of E. canadensis will alter ecosystem structure and function of the Copper River Delta, Alaska, and the ecosystem services it provides.","PeriodicalId":49061,"journal":{"name":"Inland Waters","volume":"13 1","pages":"74 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46787995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Decreases in snow and ice cover extent and duration and extended periods of summer stratification have been observed in temperate lake systems throughout the Anthropocene. However, the effects of changing snow and ice cover on lacustrine communities remain largely uninvestigated. We examined underwater light climate and associated primary productivity patterns under snow-covered and clear-lake ice in 6 inland lakes in Minnesota, USA, spanning gradients of water column optical properties (blue, green, brown) associated with trophic status and organic material content. In all lakes, snow cover influenced not only the intensity, but also the spectral signature of light penetrating into the water column. Specifically, the wavelength of maximum penetration was shifted towards longer wavelengths under snow cover in green (eutrophic) lakes but was shifted towards shorter wavelengths in blue and brown lakes. Volumetric primary productivity was often higher than anticipated (e.g., ∼1200 mg m−3 d−1; Lake Minnetonka, snow-covered ice). Carbon assimilation rates were lower under snow-covered ice throughout the water column in all lake types except immediately under cleared ice in eutrophic lakes, where phytoplankton were likely photoinhibited because of the penetration of intense, short-wavelength light. These findings suggest that changes to snow and ice cover under ongoing climate change scenarios can affect patterns of phytoplankton primary productivity in sensitive aquatic ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":49061,"journal":{"name":"Inland Waters","volume":"13 1","pages":"1 - 12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42945206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
