TL;DR: The results of multiple linear regression analysis suggest that the variability of cyanobacterial biomass and cellular microcystin concentration is influenced by salinity and total phosphorus, respectively.

TL;DR: Analysis of zooplankton community structures in comparison with the spatially distinct distribution of a toxic Microcystis bloom in a small, shallow, eutrophic lake suggests that even in small systems with extensive blooms ‘refuge sites’ exist that allow large grazers to persist, which can be an important mechanism for a successful re-establishment of the biodiversity in an ecosystem after periods of cyanobacterial blooms.

TL;DR: Emissions from WSPs were of the same order of magnitude as those reported in hydroelectric reservoirs and constructed wetlands in tropical climates, whereas CH4 fluxes were considerably higher compared to other aquatic ecosystems and N2O fluxe were in the same range of values reported for WSPS in subtropical climate.

TL;DR: This study quantifies the acute toxicity of H2O2 to Moina and Daphnia, two zooplankton genera that are common in WSPs in Western Australia’s Mediterranean climate and indicates thatDaphnia carinata is less susceptible to H 2O2 than Moina sp.

TL;DR: It is shown that Daphnia responded to increased biomass of inedible phytoplankton in its environment by enlarging the area and the mesh size of its filtering apparatus, suggesting that daphnids used their phenotypic plasticity to respond to changes in their food quality and quantity.
