However, in recent years, there has been a decline in populations of floating invasive plants, and an increase in the establish- ment and spread of submerged and emergent invasive plant species, which poses sig
In subject area: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Many freshwater invertebrates are secondary aquatic forms that moved, in an evolutionary sense, into fresh waters from the land. From: Encyclopedia of Biodiversity (Second Edition), 2013 ...
These organisms are divided on the basis of their final habitats in humans: (1) hermaphroditic liver flukes (Fasciolaspp.), which reside in the bile canal [16] and infect humans when they ingest aquatic plants (e.g. watercress), and (2) bisexual blood flukes (Schistosomaspp.), which live...
Richness of freshwater species is highest in the tropics, with concentrations in the Amazon basin in South America; western, central and eastern Africa; and tropical Asia from southern India and Sri Lanka through Sundaland to coastal New Guinea (Extended Data Fig.2a). Outside of the tropics, s...

Plants lose water to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. These two processes, evaporation and transpiration, are collectively known as evapotranspiration. Water falls back to the Earth's surface as precipitation in the form of snow or rain. Upon reaching the surface, water flows ...
Recent studies show that generalizations about photosynthetic pathways, derived from terrestrial plant studies, do not apply to aquatic plants. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis is of selective value not only in arid environments, where it enhances water-use efficiency, but also in aquat...
Some people may think it’s too invasive in their tanks. Factors to consider Though they might seem like bits of floating mulch to you, aquatic plants provide several benefits to your aquarium. From filtering the water to providingshelterto your fish, they’re certainly worth the money. ...
