Summary: This study investigated bacterioplankton communities in 42 tropical coastal reservoirs, finding that the trophic state index (TSI) of reservoirs was the key determinant of bacterioplankton metacommunity assembly. The heterogeneity of co-occurrence bacterioplankton networks and beta-diversity increased in eutrophic reservoirs compared to oligo-mesotrophic and mesotrophic reservoirs.

Summary: This study evaluated the importance of deterministic and stochastic processes in shaping bacterioplankton community assembly and the impacts of phytoplankton and zooplankton on bacterioplankton through direct and indirect effects. The results showed that environmental variation is a key driver of bacterioplankton assembly, and indirect biotic interactions also play a significant role. Additionally, eutrophication led to differentiation in community structure and increased bacterial diversity.

Summary: This study analyzed the composition, distribution characteristics, and influencing factors of bacterioplankton communities in the Danjiangkou Reservoir (DJR) using high-throughput sequencing. The results revealed significant annual and seasonal variations in the communities, function, and interaction of bacterioplankton in the DJR, with seasonal differences being greater than annual differences. Excessive nitrogen and phosphorus were identified as the most important factors affecting water quality in the reservoir, and seasonality was found to be the most important factor affecting bacterioplankton nitrogen and phosphorus cycle functions. The study also showed that stochastic processes dominate the assembly of bacterioplankton communities in the DJR.

Summary: The study found that shrimp gut microbiota succession is significantly influenced by shrimp age and water pH, while rearing water bacteria communities are mainly influenced by salinity, pH, total phosphorus, and dissolved oxygen. Gut commensals primarily originate from the younger host rather than surrounding bacterioplankton.

Summary: This study investigates the assembly process of bacterioplankton communities in anthropogenically disturbed lakes and finds that the balanced-variation component dominates the total temporal beta-diversity of bacterioplankton communities across different trophic categories. Ecological stochasticity contributes more to bacterioplankton community assembly in oligo-mesotrophic and mesotrophic lakes, while environmental filtering strengthens in eutrophic lakes, making bacterioplankton communities more vulnerable.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of stocking density on biomass production and cyst production of Dendrocephalus brasiliensis, recommending rearing in high density (100 ind L-1) and producing 20 pairs L-1 or 4 mg of dry cysts L-1. The nutritional profile of D. brasiliensis, including high protein and lipid concentrations, amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids, suggests its great potential as a live food resource for economically important species in aquaculture.

Summary: This study provides a scientific investigation and detailed review of published works in the field of eutrophication-based ecological modelling until the year 2020. A total of 399 articles were analyzed using a three-step hierarchical procedure, including bibliographic examination, scientometric investigation, and qualitative assessment. The study identified the most influential and productive journals, researchers, articles, and countries, as well as the frequently used keywords. The qualitative assessment discussed current research trends and identified critical gaps for future directions.

Summary: The study found that nutrient concentrations were higher in macro-tidal estuaries, leading to lower levels of dissolved oxygen and impacting the community structure of mesozooplankton. The copepod community in micro- and meso-tidal estuaries was dominated by meso- and euryhaline species, while in macro-tidal estuaries, euryhaline and coastal species were dominant, with an increase in jellyfish prevalence during the post-monsoon period.

Summary: This study evaluated the economic and ecological effects of three common shrimp farming models in China: indoor super-intensive culture (ISIC), pond integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (PIMTA), and pond mono-culture (PMC). Using statistical analyses, the economic and ecological effects of these models were quantitatively estimated. The break-even analysis showed that ISIC and PMC had higher unit output, while PIMTA had the greatest profit margin. Ecologically, PIMTA was effective in reducing nitrogen and phosphorus discharge and preventing water eutrophication, and it had higher bacterial diversity compared to ISIC. Additionally, PIMTA had the highest carbon sink capacity. By combining ISIC with PIMTA, companies can balance ecological damage while meeting shrimp market demand.

Summary: This study investigated the interspecies interactions during biofilm development in a moving bed biofilm reactor using regular and time-series phylogenetic molecular ecological networks. The results showed that positive interactions dominated both regular and time-series networks, indicating extensive cooperative behaviors. Time-lagged interspecies interactions prevailed in the biofilm development process, with a higher proportion of directional negative interactions than positive interactions. Keystone species with more positive interactions were positively correlated with biofilm biomass and removal efficiencies, while those targeted negatively by their neighbors showed positive correlations with specific metabolite concentrations.

Summary: This study examined the distribution and assembly mechanisms of abundant and rare bacteria in drinking water across four seasons in China. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing and environmental variables were used to analyze composition, assembly, and co-occurrence patterns. The results showed that abundant taxa were mainly composed of Rhizobiales_UG1, Sphingomonadales_UG1, and Comamonadaceae, while rare taxa were Sphingomonadales_UG1, Rhizobiales_UG2, and Rhizobiales_UG1. Unique patterns were observed in the diversity, assembly, and co-occurrence of abundant and rare bacteria.

Summary: The restoration of aquatic macrophytes decreased phosphorus content in water and sediments while increasing nitrogen and carbon content in sediments. It significantly influenced the alpha diversity of bacterial communities in sediments, with higher values observed in restored zones compared to bare zones, but had no significant influence on water samples.

Summary: This study assessed the pollution extent of a crucial public water supply reservoir in southeastern Brazil. The findings revealed high concentrations of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in the reservoir, posing a significant ecological risk to aquatic life. Additionally, the analysis showed that levels of metals, metalloids, and fecal bacteria were below the maximum permitted limit according to Brazilian legislation.

Summary: The study revealed that eutrophication and algal blooms driven by phosphorus frequently occur in the coastal waters of Makran, with phosphorus mainly present in the form of inorganic species. The high phosphorus pollution index above one indicates that sediments in the area are contaminated with phosphorus, posing a risk of eutrophication.
