Due to the recorded preference for higher water temperature, dragonfly larvae preferred tufa barriers, while they were mostly absent from headwaters of mountainous streams. Favorable microhabitats were inorganic substrates associated with lower current velocity, in contrast to mosses associated with the strongest current. These results represent an important contribution to the knowledge of dragonfly ecology in karstic lotic habitats.

In our study of the spawning behaviour of lake whitefish, we observed fish using a variety of habitat types during the spawning season, including a rocky spawning shoal, sandy substrates, and steeper slopes. Both sexes moved shallower at night and deeper during the day, with males moving more at night and females more during the day. This study could help inform stewardship efforts aimed at lake whitefish spawning habitat restoration and protection.

Amphibians are major members of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. They serve as both predator and prey in both ecosystems. Therefore, they provide the transfer of energy between these systems. However, there are few studies on the gametogenesis of amphibian. Therefore, histological characteristics of Pelophylax bedriagae testes were studied.

Amphibious plant species successfully thrivein water and on dry land. Outstanding phenotypic plasticity at structural and functional levelsenables optimal performance in contrasting environments.They have great potential to colonise aquatic ecosystemswherethe hydrological regime isaltered by climate changes.

Our paper reviews the restoration and conservation strategies applied towards coregonines (e.g., whitefishes, ciscoes) across Europe, Asia, and North America. The highlighted strategies included 1) stocking of hatchery-reared fish, 2) controlling invasive species, 3) translocating fish, 4) restoring habitat, and 5) eliminating harvest or creating protected areas.

Our study introduces the first Bayesian Delay-Difference model adapted to whitefish fisheries in peri-alpine lakes. By analyzing various data, the model accurately estimates annual biomass, recruitment, stage structure of landings, and fishing mortality. These insights are invaluable for comprehending the historical trends and impacts of fishing activities on these stocks.
