Attribute‐based classification of European hydrophytes and its relationship to habitat utilizationFreshwater Biology - Tập 43 Số 1 - Trang 43-74 - 2000
Nigel Willby, Vicky J. Abernethy, Benoît O. L. Demars
SUMMARYHere we classify selected European hydrophytes into ‘attribute groups’
based on the possession of homogenous sets of characteristics, and explore the
correspondence between these attribute groups, or individual attributes, and
habitat use.Non‐hierarchical clustering was used to assign 120 species to twenty
groups based on a matrix of categorical scores for literature‐ and field‐derived

Theoretical habitat templets, species traits, and species richness: aquatic macrophytes in the Upper Rhône River and its floodplainFreshwater Biology - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 487-505 - 1994
Gudrun Bornette, Christophe Henry, MARIE‐HÉLÈNE BARRAT, Claude Amoros
SUMMARY The objective of this study, which is based on forty‐two species of
hydrophytes and helophytes, is to investigate: (i) relationships among species
traits; (ii) habitat utilization by species; (iii) the relationship between
species traits and habitat utilization; (iv) trends in species traits in the
framework of spatial–temporal habitat variability, and if trends match
predictions from the ... hiện toàn bộ
The macrophytic vegetation of the River Tees in 1975: observed and predicted changesFreshwater Biology - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 43-60 - 1977
Nigel Holmes, Brian A. Whitton
SUMMARY. An account is given of the distribution of macrophytes in the River
Tees and its tributaries, north‐east England, together with a critical
discussion of the problems involved in recording data in a form which can be
used for monitoring long‐term changes of vegetation in rivers. Among the
conventions and methods adopted in the present study are an attempt to define
the vertical limits of t... hiện toàn bộ
The functional role of burrowing bivalves in freshwater ecosystemsFreshwater Biology - Tập 46 Số 11 - Trang 1431-1446 - 2001
Caryn C. Vaughn, Christine C. Hakenkamp
1. Freshwater systems are losing biodiversity at a rapid rate, yet we know
little about the functional role of most of this biodiversity. The ecosystem
roles of freshwater burrowing bivalves have been particularly understudied. Here
we summarize what is known about the functional role of burrowing bivalves in
the orders Unionoida and Veneroida in lakes and streams globally.2. Bivalves

Metacommunity organisation, spatial extent and dispersal in aquatic systems: patterns, processes and prospectsFreshwater Biology - Tập 60 Số 5 - Trang 845-869 - 2015
Jani Heino, Adriano S. Melo, Tadeu Siqueira, Janne Soininen, Sebastian Valanko, Luis Maurício Bini
Summary Metacommunity ecology addresses the situation where sets of local
communities are connected by the dispersal of a number of potentially
interacting species. Aquatic systems (e.g. lentic versus lotic versus marine)
differ from each other in connectivity and environmental heterogeneity,
suggesting that metacommunity organisation also differs between major aquatic
systems. Here, we review fin... hiện toàn bộ
A fuzzy coding approach for the analysis of long‐term ecological dataFreshwater Biology - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 295-309 - 1994
François Chevenet, SYLVAIN DOLÉADEC, Daniel Chessel
SUMMARY We present an unconventional procedure (fuzzy coding) to structure
biological and environmental information, which uses positive scores to describe
the affinity of a species for different modalities (i.e. categories) of a given
variable. Fuzzy coding is essential for the synthesis of long‐term ecological
data because it enables analysis of diverse kinds of biological information

The effect of evapoconcentration on dissolved organic carbon concentration and quality in lakes of SW GreenlandFreshwater Biology - Tập 52 Số 2 - Trang 280-289 - 2007
N. John Anderson, Colin A. Stedmon
Summary1. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration was determined for a
range of lakes of varying conductivity (30–4000 μS cm−1) in the low Arctic of SW
Greenland. DOC concentration range from <1 to >100 mg C L−1, occasionally
approaching 200 mg C L−1 in meromictic, oligosaline lakes. DOC concentration was
strongly related to [log10] conductivity and total nitrogen.2. Peak DOC
concentrations (... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial and temporal impacts of a diesel fuel spill on stream invertebratesFreshwater Biology - Tập 46 Số 5 - Trang 693-704 - 2001
David A. Lytle, Barbara L. Peckarsky
1. We assessed the effects of a 26 500 L diesel fuel spill on the
macroinvertebrate fauna of a small trout stream in central New York, U.S.A. To
determine the spatial extent of the spill we sampled three locations (0.7, 5.0
and 11.8 km downstream of the spill), each containing a reference site
(unaffected tributary) and an impact site (downstream of spill). Sampling was
repeated four times over a ... hiện toàn bộ
Co‐inertia analysis: an alternative method for studying species–environment relationshipsFreshwater Biology - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 277-294 - 1994
Sylvain Dolédec, Daniel Chessel
SUMMARY Methods used for the study of species–environment relationships can be
grouped into: (i) simple indirect and direct gradient analysis and multivariate
direct gradient analysis (e.g. canonical correspondence analysis), all of which
search for non‐symmetric patterns between environmental data sets and species
data sets; and (ii) analysis of juxtaposed tables, canonical correlation
analysis, ... hiện toàn bộ
