Rewilding beyond the wilderness: Beavers can restore stream biodiversity from urban to agricultural to natural landscapes

This study shows beaver-engineering increases biodiversity in streams across different land-use intensities, benefiting aquatic and semi-aquatic species.

Zooplankton feeding behaviour and survival to toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria during the seasonal bloom progression of a eutrophic lake

The paper investigates zooplankton grazing behavior on toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria in a eutrophic lake, finding non-selective feeding and limited fitness costs under varying temperatures.

Inferring intrinsic population growth rates and per capita interactions from ecological time-series

This paper infers intrinsic population growth rates and per capita interactions from ecological time-series using weighted multivariate regression, revealing trade-offs and facilitation in algal communities.

Biodiversity forecasting in natural plankton communities reveals temperature and biotic interactions as key predictors

The paper forecasts biodiversity changes in a lake plankton community using abiotic and biotic predictors, showing that temperature and biotic interactions are key for accurate long-term predictions.

Five years of high-frequency data of phytoplankton zooplankton and limnology from a temperate eutrophic lake

This study provides a high-frequency dataset from Lake Greifen, integrating physical, chemical, and biological parameters to study lake dynamics and plankton ecology.

Biotic interactions shape the realised niche of toxic cyanobacteria

The paper shows biotic interactions significantly alter the realised niche of toxic cyanobacteria, affecting temperature and phosphorus thresholds for bloom formation.

Resource supply drives even spacing of individuals along multiple trait axes in light-limited phytoplankton populations

The paper experiments with two phytoplankton species under light gradients, showing resource limitation leads to even spacing of phenotypes in trait space.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate affects proliferation and differentiation of pluripotent human teratocarcinoma cells

This study examines how PFOS affects proliferation and differentiation of NCCIT cells, showing reduced proliferation and ectodermal differentiation markers.
