1. Breaking the misconception of a dry and lifeless semiarid region: the diversity and distribution of aquatic flora in wetlands of the Brazilian Northeast
ABSTRACT The semiarid region of northeastern Brazil possesses a set of wetlands characterized by hydrographic basins with deficient drainage networks, a few large and permanent lotic systems and several permanent and temporary lagoons. Aquatic plants are widely distributed in these wetlands and the present study aims to determine if those of Ceará state hav

2. Predicting the potential distribution of aquatic herbaceous plants in oligotrophic Central Amazonian wetland ecosystems
ABSTRACT Aquatic herbaceous plants are especially suitable for mapping environmental variability in wetlands, as they respond quickly to environmental gradients and are good indicators of habitat preference. We describe the composition of herbaceous species in two oligotrophic wetland ecosystems, floodplains along black-water rivers (igapó) and wetlands upo

3. Different scales determine the occurrence of aquatic macrophyte species in a tropical stream
ABSTRACT Distributions of aquatic macrophyte species are commonly associated with water chemistry characteristics. However, other environmental factors that can lead to the occurrence of aquatic plants in lotic ecosystems, such as dynamic habitats linked to the surrounding landscape, have been underestimated. This study aims to evaluate landscape features th

4. Advances in the knowledge of the natural history of aquatic plants in the Neotropics
ABSTRACT Until the mid-XX century, little awareness on the ecological services or socio-environmental problems and benefits related to aquatic plants culminated in bottlenecks on their natural history, especially for the Neotropics. In this context, Acta Botanica Brasilica (ABB) organized this special issue to promote the advancement of knowledge on this eco

5. Reproductive phenology of aquatic macrophytes in the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone
ABSTRACT Studies of plant phenology have been performed predominantly with terrestrial species and rarely so with aquatic communities. Such plants are fundamental for the aquatic ecosystems, representing a valuable source of resources when they are scarce in terrestrial environments for the fauna. Studies of phenology help to understand the reproduction rhyt

6. The invasive tropical tanner grass decreases diversity of the native aquatic macrophyte community at two scales in a subtropical tidal river
ABSTRACT The tropical tanner grass, Urochloa arrecta, is one of the worst aquatic plant invaders in Brazilian freshwater ecosystems. This study aimed to compare beds of macrophytes dominated and without U. arrecta in the Guaraguaçu River, a subtropical tidal river in South Brazil, to analyze effects that this invasive grass has on the biodiversity of native

7. Relationship between phytoplankton structure and environmental variables in tropical reservoirs with different trophic states
ABSTRACT Phytoplankton structure is influenced by environmental factors, seasonal cycles and the trophic state of the system. The objective of the present study was to identify guilds of phytoplankton species that are representative of seasonality and trophic status. We evaluated phytoplankton biomass and species composition in five tropical reservoirs, with

8. Toxicity of leachates from pilot reactors simulating a landfill with different concentrations of AgNP
RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a toxicidade de lixiviados de reatores piloto (RP) simulando um aterro contendo diferentes concentrações de nanopartículas de prata (AgNP). Testes de toxicidade aguda (48 h) com Daphnia magna foram realizados em lixiviados contendo 50, 150 e 450 mg de AgNP.kg-1, além de um branco para controle. Foram realiza

9. The challenge of restoring tropical freshwater ecosystems
Resumo Vivemos um processo mundial crescente de degradação das bases de sustentação da vida. No Brasil esta ameaça se intensifica pela fragilização crescente das estruturas de proteção ambiental. A restauração ecológica é uma alternativa para enfrentar a degradação dos ambientes aquáticos. Ela tem sido empregada em maior escala nas regiões d

10. Anthropogenic impacts on aquatic bacteria: a perspective from the tropics
Resumo O bacterioplâncton compreende um grupo altamente diversificado de microrganismos, que são dominantes nos ecossistemas aquáticos e desempenham um papel central no funcionamento desses ecossistemas e nos ciclos biogeoquímicos. Devido às suas elevadas taxas de dispersão e de mudança na composição, bem como alta adaptabilidade e plasticidade, os

11. Water pollution: one of the main Limnology challenges in the Anthropocene
Resumo: A humanidade está definindo um novo período geológico. A era do Antropoceno é marcada por mudanças nos processos geológicos, nos regimes hidrológicos, na estrutura da biosfera, dentre outros processos devido às expansões humanas sobre a paisagem ao redor do mundo. A aceleração dos ciclos biogeoquímicos, a grande carga de poluentes nos rec

12. Physicochemical quality of and Escherichia coli resistance profiles in urban surface waters
Resumo Os ecossistemas aquáticos dos rios urbanos são contaminados pela disposição de resíduos, o que representa um problema de saúde pública. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar a qualidade das águas utilizadas para recreação e abastecimento público de seis rios da cidade de Cascavel – Paraná, sendo eles: Cascavel, Quati, Bezerra, Antas, C
