Aim: Urbanization leads to rapid changes in ecosystem structure and function. Wetlands on university campuses under urbanization pressure could be used as case studies of multidisciplinary aquatic research and good environmental practices promoting sustainability. Methods: A paleolimnological study was undertaken in a semi-artificial lake on a univ...

Aim We evaluated changes in periphyton biomass and the composition of benthic diatom communities along a gradient of urbanization in 10 coastal streams located on the coastal plain of southernmost Brazil. Methods At each coastal stream, we obtained limnological variables and periphytic material from the stolon of the aquatic macrophyte Hydrocotyle...

In response to climate change it is expected an increase in temperature and precipitation in subtropical regions of South America. Precipitation increases surface runoff, which leads to an increased input of nutrients and suspended solids in freshwater ecosystems, resulting in changes in turbidity and water color. We analyzed the effects of increas...

Food partitioning among coexisting species in different habitats remains an important research topic in trophic ecology. In this work, we combined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios and stomach content analyses to investigate differences in diet and niche overlap of two congeneric juvenile mullet species (Mugil curema and Mugil liza) coexist...
