We use age and length data of 1.4 million fish from 2704 lakes to evaluate the temperature-size rule in wild populations. We found evidence that warmer environments are associated with faster life hi....

Scientific Reports - Effects of increased rainfall intensity on nitrogen and phosphorus removal in a restored wetland from an abandoned paddy field

Temperature is a master variable in aquatic ecosystems. Despite its importance for ecosystem function, our capacity to measure temperature is often limited to focal systems with intensive in situ mea...

The president cited his tariff fight in a social media post, saying the United States doesn’t expect to be “doing much business with Ontario any longer.”

Surface water warming and bottom water oxygen depletion, accelerated by global warming, limit the distribution of cold-water fish in the pelagic areas of temperate lakes. While surface warming is well...

Marco Rubio targets ICC’s Tomoko Akane and Abdoulaye Seye, who was investigating Israeli war crimes in Gaza

Abstract. Insights into ecomorphology are enriched when investigating evolutionary correlations between ecologically and functionally important traits. How

Climate-responsive urban design aims to create cooler and more liveable cities. This study shows that canals can cool their immediate surroundings, particularly during heatwaves, with related benefits for population health and wellbeing.

In this ‘Behind the Paper’ blog post, author Libin Zhou – an Associate Professor at the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology – discusses the paper “Nutrient en…

Some of these humble fish were alive during the Civil War.

The Zooplankton International Geospatial (ZIG) dataset is a global, harmonized collection of freshwater zooplankton records paired with water chemistry data, built through a multi‑year community effor...

Food systems substantially impact carbon storage and biodiversity, with food consumption driving four-fifths of losses on agricultural land, particularly through animal-sourced foods. Targeted interve...

Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide...

Abstract. Rapid warming in the Gulf of Maine and shifts in bait usage in Maine’s lobster industry are altering the thermal and nutritional landscapes for A

Thermal habitat responses to climate forcing diverge between shallow and deep lakes even under similar atmospheric warming In deep, optically clear lakes, increased solar radiation penetrates bel...

日本国内における特定外来生物オオクチバスの分布拡大はまだまだ続いていて、近年ではさらに同じく特定外来生物コクチバスの分布拡大も続いています。「分布拡大」と書いていますけれども、バス類の産卵生態から考えて、また純淡水魚類の一般的な移動能力から考えて、これらが鳥類による運搬や自力での分布拡大によるものとは考えにくく、様々な要素を多角的にみれば釣り人による密放流が続いていると考えざるを得ません。 外来生...

Global warming poses an increasing threat to biodiversity by elevating the risk of local extinctions. Species distribution models are widely used to forecast extinction risk under future climate s...

Global warming is causing rivers to slowly lose oxygen, threatening fish and other lives. A study released Friday of more than 21,000 rivers worldwide shows they have lost an average of 2.1% of their ...

This work constitutes a first step towards developing simulation-based assessments that incorporate catchment drying patterns to support biomonitoring of drying river networks. Our approach can infor...
