TL;DR: The study demonstrates the extent to which macrophyte abundance and community composition are related to site- and watershed-scale variables including lake morphology, water and sediment characteristics, and percent land cover of adjacent uplands.

Hydrological alteration induced changes on macrophyte community composition in sub-tropical floodplain wetlands of Nepal
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the association between macrophytes and water levels in the floodplain wetlands of Koshi Tappu, in south-eastern Nepal, and found that water depth and physico-chemical parameters such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, nitrate-nitrogen, and phosphate were highly correlated with macrophyte assemblages across the wetlands.

Multi-Elements in Waters and Sediments of Shallow Lakes: Relationships with Water, Sediment, and Watershed Characteristics
La Toya T. Kissoon,Donna L. Jacob,Mark A. Hanson,Brian R. Herwig,Shane E. Bowe,Marinus L. Otte +5 more
TL;DR: The results showed the extent to which multiple elements in shallow lake waters and sediments were influenced by a combination of variables including sediment characteristics, lake morphology, and percent land cover in watersheds.
Microhabitat selection of axolotls, Ambystoma mexicanum , in artificial and natural aquatic systems
TL;DR: It is found that movement patterns and microhabitat selection were related to vegetation coverage and diurnal and nocturnal periods and may represent behavioural strategies for reducing predation in axolotls.

Effect of bottom sediments on the nutrient and metal concentration in macrophytes of river-lake systems
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of bottom sediments on the nutrients and metal content in macrophytes in river-lake systems has been analyzed and it was demonstrated that tissues of plants anchored in sediments that were more abundant in nutrients had higher contents of biogenic components and heavy metals.
Lake and catchment-scale determinants of aquatic vegetation across almost 1,000 lakes and the contrasts between lake types.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the factors determining macrophyte composition in lakes over water body and catchmentscales and the transferability of this pattern across lake types, showing that the well-studied effects of lake environmental factors (the so-called "environmental filter" can be constrained by hydrological and landscape factors.

Species assemblages and indicator species:the need for a flexible asymmetrical approach
Marc Dufrêne,Pierre Legendre +1 more
TL;DR: A new and simple method to find indicator species and species assemblages characterizing groups of sites, and a new way to present species-site tables, accounting for the hierarchical relationships among species, is proposed.
Partialling out the spatial component of ecological variation
TL;DR: In this paper, a method is proposed to partition the variation of species abundance data into independent components: pure spatial, pure environmental, spatial component of environmental influence, and undetermined.
