Aquatic macroinvertebrates deploy resistance and resilience strategies to cope with flow intermittency, crucial in rivers with long-term seasonal dry episodes. Less is known, about how these strategies support community persistence in streams that only recently have experienced drying, and where local assemblages lack such adaptations. Our study conducted two four-season campaigns, separated by a one-year break, to assess macroinvertebrate responses in newly drying intermittent streams by comparing intermittent and perennial stream sections. We characterize communities from structural and functional perspectives, and then evaluate the response at the trait state level. We observed a decline in taxa richness and abundance, but not structural diversity, in response to flow intermittency. Resistance traits are more important than resilient traits in structuring macroinvertebrate communities in newly intermittent stream sections. Taxa in intermittent sections exhibit a smaller trait space, indicating lower functional redundancy. The macroinvertebrate response to intermittency lacks a predictable pattern, suggesting time-dependent and trait-state-specific colonization by adapted taxa and community assembly with resistance and resilience strategies. As river drought increases due to climate change, recognizing the temporal dimension becomes crucial for understanding ecological responses to intermittency.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1573-5117}, orcid-numbers = {Várbíró, Gábor/0000-0001-5907-3472; Csabai, Zoltán Szabolcs/0000-0003-1700-2574} } @article{MTMT:34720925, title = {Bird-mediated endozoochory as a potential dispersal mechanism of bony fishes}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34720925}, author = {Lovas-Kiss, Ádám and Antal, László and Mozsár, Attila and Nyeste, Krisztián József and Somogyi, Dóra and Kiss, B. and Tóth, R. and Tóth, Flórián and Fazekas, Dorottya and Vitál, Zoltán and Halasi-Kovács, Béla and Tóth, P. and Szabó, N. and Löki, Viktor and Vincze, Orsolya and Lukács, Balázs András}, doi = {10.1111/ecog.07124}, journal-iso = {ECOGRAPHY}, journal = {ECOGRAPHY}, unique-id = {34720925}, issn = {0906-7590}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1600-0587}, orcid-numbers = {Antal, László/0000-0001-9831-1429; Nyeste, Krisztián József/0000-0002-9848-7608; Somogyi, Dóra/0000-0003-2486-1414} } @article{MTMT:34689153, title = {Plumage and eggshell colouration covary with the level of sex-specific parental contributions to nest building in birds}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34689153}, author = {Nagy, Jenő and Hauber, Mark E. and Löki, Viktor and Mainwaring, Mark C.}, doi = {10.1007/s00114-024-01899-4}, journal-iso = {SCI NAT-HEIDELBERG}, journal = {NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN}, volume = {111}, unique-id = {34689153}, issn = {0028-1042}, abstract = {Interspecific variation in sex-specific contributions to prenatal parental care, including avian nest building, is becoming increasingly better understood as we amass more information on more species. We examined whether sex-specific nest building contributions covary with the colouration of parents and their eggs in 521 species of Western Palearctic birds. Having colourful plumage and laying colourful eggs are costly because of the deposition of pigments in feathers and eggs and/or forming costly nanostructural substrates in feathers, and so it might be expected that those costs covary with the costs of nest building at the level of individuals and/or across species to produce of a suite of codivergent traits. Using a phylogenetically informed approach, we tested the hypothesis that species in which females alone invest energy building nests exhibit less sexual plumage dichromatism. However, we found comparative support for the opposite of this prediction. We then tested that species in which females alone build nests lay more colourful, and costlier, eggs because the dual costs of building nests and laying colourful eggs can only be borne by higher quality individuals. As expected, we found that species in which females build nests alone or together with males are more likely to lay colourfully pigmented eggs relative to species in which only males build nests. Finally, stochastic character mapping provided evidence of the repeated evolution of female-only nest building. Interspecific sex differences in plumage colouration therefore covary in a complex manner with female pre- (nest building) and post-copulatory (egg production) investment in reproduction.}, keywords = {PARENTAL CARE; nest building; Birds.; egg colour; colour dichromatism}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1432-1904}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Jenő/0000-0001-8434-4422; Mainwaring, Mark C./0000-0002-0427-9673} } @article{MTMT:34681454, title = {Long-term recovery dynamics determined by the degree of the disturbance – Ten years tracking of aquatic macroinvertebrate recolonisation after an industrial disaster (Red Sludge Disaster, Hungary)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34681454}, author = {Karádi-Kovács, Kata and Szivák, Ildikó and Bozóki, Tamás and Kovács, Krisztián and Móra, Arnold and Padisák, Judit and Selmeczy, Géza Balázs and Schmera, Dénes and Boda, Pál}, doi = {10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171071}, journal-iso = {SCI TOTAL ENVIRON}, journal = {SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {921}, unique-id = {34681454}, issn = {0048-9697}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-1026}, orcid-numbers = {Szivák, Ildikó/0000-0002-9873-3039; Móra, Arnold/0000-0001-5878-8281; Padisák, Judit/0000-0001-8285-2896; Selmeczy, Géza Balázs/0000-0002-6386-2738} } @article{MTMT:34540521, title = {Understanding the complex dynamics of zebra mussel invasions over several decades in European rivers: drivers, impacts and predictions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34540521}, author = {Haubrock, P.J. and Soto, I. and Kourantidou, M. and Ahmed, D.A. and Serhan, Tarkan A. and Balzani, P. and Bego, K. and Kouba, A. and Aksu, S. and Briski, E. and Sylvester, F. and De, Santis V. and Archambaud-Suard, G. and Bonada, N. and Cañedo-Argüelles, M. and Csabai, Zoltán Szabolcs and Datry, T. and Floury, M. and Fruget, J.-F. and Jones, J.I. and Lizee, M.-H. and Maire, A. and Murphy, J.F. and Ozolins, D. and Jessen, Rasmussen J. and Skuja, A. and Várbíró, Gábor and Verdonschot, P. and Verdonschot, R.C.M. and Wiberg-Larsen, P. and Cuthbert, R.N.}, doi = {10.1111/oik.10283}, journal-iso = {OIKOS}, journal = {OIKOS}, volume = {2024}, unique-id = {34540521}, issn = {0030-1299}, abstract = {The zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha is one of the most successful, notorious, and detrimental aquatic invasive non-native species worldwide, having invaded Europe and North America while causing substantial ecological and socio-economic impacts. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal trends in this species' invasion success using 178 macroinvertebrate abundance time series, containing 1451 records of D. polymorpha collected across nine European countries between 1972–2019. Using these raw (absolute) abundance data, we examined trends and drivers of occurrences and relative abundances of D. polymorpha within invaded communities. Meta-regression models revealed non-significant trends both at the European level and for the majority of the invaded countries, except for France (significant decreasing trend) and Hungary (marginally positive trend). At the European level, the number of D. polymorpha occurrences over time followed a flat-top bell-shaped distribution, with a steep increase between 1973–1989 followed by a plateau phase prior to significantly declining post-1998. Using a series of climatic and hydromorphological site-specific characteristics of invaded and uninvaded sites from two periods (1998–2002; 2011–2015), we found that native richness, non-native abundance, distance to the next barrier, and elevation were associated with the occurrence of D. polymorpha. We also found that higher native richness and lower latitude were related to lower relative abundances. Using Cohen's D as a measure of D. polymorpha impact, we found that biodiversity within the invaded sites was initially higher than in uninvaded ones, but then declined, suggesting differences in biodiversity trends across invaded and uninvaded sites. While our results emphasise the high invasion success of D. polymorpha, increasing stressors within the context of global change – particularly ongoing climate change – are likely to enhance invasion rates and the impact of D. polymorpha in the near future, exacerbated by the lack of timely and effective management actions. © 2024 Nordic Society Oikos.

Both functional trait-based and functional group-based habitat classifications overrode the hydromorphology-based typology, however, functional group-based clusters showed closer resemblance to limnological-hydromorphological types than clusters created by trait-based approaches both for qualitative and quantitative data. Most of the aquatic habitats that have similar limnological characteristics showed resemblance in the functional properties of their microflora. Rivers and river-related habitats were the most diverse functionally. These were followed by standing waters with extended macrophyte coverage. The small, unique habitats displayed the lowest functional richness. The occurrence of several functional groups in some extreme habitats implies two alternative explanations: first, the habitat template of the groups is wider than defined in the original description; second, detailed information on the autecology of species assigned to a functional group necessitates the creation of new groups specific for the unique habitats.}, keywords = {PHYTOPLANKTON; habitat selection; TRAIT COMPOSITION}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1573-5117}, pages = {801-821}, orcid-numbers = {Kókai, Zsuzsanna/0000-0003-0315-9343; Várbíró, Gábor/0000-0001-5907-3472; Ács, Éva/0000-0003-1774-157X} } @article{MTMT:34265548, title = {Before‐after‐control‐impact field experiment shows anti‐predator netting enhances occupancy of the threatened Hungarian meadow viper ( Vipera ursinii rakosiensis )}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34265548}, author = {Mizsei, Edvárd and Budai, Mátyás and Wenner, Bálint and Rák, Gergő and Radovics, Dávid and Bancsik, Barnabás and Kovács, Gergő and Tisza, Ádám and Simics, János and Szabolcs, István Márton and Vadász, Csaba and Móré, Attila}, doi = {10.1002/wlb3.01147}, journal-iso = {WILDLIFE BIOL}, journal = {WILDLIFE BIOLOGY}, unique-id = {34265548}, issn = {0909-6396}, abstract = {The Hungarian meadow viper is an endangered grassland‐dwelling species, which faces high predation pressure, partially due to avian species that forage in its habitat. Predation pressure by avian predators is caused not only by abundant game species (e.g. hooded crow, Corvus cornix ) but also by protected and threatened species (e.g. short‐toed eagle, Cricaetus gallicus ; common buzzard, Buteo buteo ; roller, Coracias garrulus ) in the project area (Felső‐kiskunsági turjánvidék, Hungary). Mark–recapture data of a reintroduced viper population showed a very low, 42% yearly average apparent survival rate. To establish a strong sub‐population we applied anti‐predator netting (APN) by building a 200 × 200 × 3 m (4 ha) totally closed exclusion site with a mesh net, lateral sides boosted with a 1 m high steel field fence to exclude mammals as well as birds. To test the effect of APN we monitored viper occupancy at 50 × 50 m sampling plots in a before–after/control–intervention (BACI) design, where we randomly placed quadrats 0.25 ha (50 × 50 m) to be surveyed, n = 26 at control habitats and n = 4 below the APN enclosure. We collected data across four years (2020–2023), in each year during the spring by 10 surveys replicates in each plot resulting in 1200 surveys to record viper detection/non‐detection data. We applied a multi‐season occupancy model to estimate site occupancy changes to test the effects of the BACI design. Occupancy probabilities were increasing during the four consecutive survey years in both the control and the intervention sites, however except for the initial occupancy, the occupancy probability became significantly higher at APN sites, and the APN intervention had a significant positive effect on viper occupancy, while the distance to APN showed negative effect. Predator exclusion is an effective method to minimise predation pressure and potentially has a deterministic positive demographic outcome, however, due to the high logistical and maintenance costs, this measure can be applied at only a few sites.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1903-220X}, orcid-numbers = {Radovics, Dávid/0000-0002-4440-0538} } @article{MTMT:34251693, title = {Microhabitat selection of meadow and steppe vipers enlightened by digital photography and image processing to describe grassland vegetation structure}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34251693}, author = {Mizsei, Edvárd and Budai, M and Rák, G and Bencsik, B and Radovics, Dávid and Szabolcs, István Márton and Móré, A and Vadász, Cs and Dudás, György Zoltán and Lengyel, Szabolcs}, doi = {10.1111/jzo.13129}, journal-iso = {J ZOOL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY}, volume = {322}, unique-id = {34251693}, issn = {0952-8369}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1469-7998}, pages = {168-178}, orcid-numbers = {Radovics, Dávid/0000-0002-4440-0538; Lengyel, Szabolcs/0000-0002-7049-0100} } @article{MTMT:34185495, title = {Publisher Correction: Measures of morphological complexity of microalgae and their linkage with organism size}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34185495}, author = {Lerf, Verona and Borics, Gábor and Tóth, István and Kisantal, Tibor and Lukács, Áron and Tóthmérész, Béla and Buczolich, Zoltán and Bárány, Balázs and Végvári, Zsolt and Török-Krasznai, Enikő}, doi = {10.1007/s10750-023-05384-3}, journal-iso = {HYDROBIOLOGIA}, journal = {HYDROBIOLOGIA}, volume = {851}, unique-id = {34185495}, issn = {0018-8158}, abstract = {In the above-mentioned publication, the last author's name was mistakenly removed from the authors list and should read: Enikő T-Krasznai.

The low phytoplankton biomass and its composition in the Danube support the oligotrophication trend, but this one-year study could not confirm it with certainty.
