RESEARCHES OF THE KHARANORSK RESERVOIR ECOSYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE OUTCOMES OF THE PLANKTON PRIMARY PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT by Gazhit Ts. Tsybekmitova

“…High production capabilities of the ecosystem in both the central and littoral zones were found in July in the surface horizons of the water column (3.53 mgO2 / L – littoral; 3.92 mgO2 / L – center). …”

Non-random mating behaviour between diverging littoral and pelagic three-spined sticklebacks in an invasive population from Upper Lake Constance by Tobias Zeidler, Albert Ros, Samuel Roch, Arne Jacobs, Juergen Geist, Alexander Brinker

“…In Lake Constance, Germany, a population of invasive three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is currently diverging into littoral and pelagic ecotypes, which both nest in the littoral zone. We hypothesized that assortative mating behaviour contributes to reproductive isolation between these ecotypes and performed a behavioural experiment in which females could choose between two nest-guarding males. …”

Comparing Clean Water Act Section 316(b) Policy Options by John Kadvany

“…Three simplified policy options are considered, each with a different implicit or explicit AEI approach: (1) a technology-driven rule based on a strict reading of the 316(b) regulatory text, and for which any impingement and entrainment count as AEI, (2) a complementary, open-ended risk-assessment process for estimating population effects with AEI characterized on a site-specific basis, and (3) an intermediate position based on proxy measures such as specially constructed definitions of littoral zone, sensitive habitat, or water body type. …”

Factors Affecting Temporal and Spatial Variations of Microcystins in Gonghu Bay of Lake Taihu, with Potential Risk of Microcystin Contamination to Human Health by Qing Wang, Yuan Niu, Ping Xie, Jun Chen, Zhimei Ma, Min Tao, Min Qi, Laiyan Wu, Longgen Guo

“…Spatially, risk of MCs was higher in littoral zones than in the pelagic area. There were significant correlations between N or P concentrations, and Microcystis biomass or MC content, suggesting that N and P levels affected MC production through influencing Microcystis biomass. …”
