Although parasitic chytrids of phytoplankton might compete with zooplankton, they also indirectly support zooplankton populations through the “mycoloop”, which helps move energy and essential dietary molecules from inedible phytoplankton to zooplankton. Here, we consider how the mycoloop might fit into the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) framework. BEF considers how more diverse communities can benefit ecosystem functions like zooplankton production. Chytrids are themselves part of pelagic food webs and they directly contribute to zooplankton diets through spore production and by increasing host edibility. The additional way that chytrids might support BEF is if they engage in “kill-the-winner” dynamics. In contrast to grazers, which result in “eat-the-edible” dynamics, kill-the-winner dynamics can occur for host-specific infectious diseases that control the abundance of dominant (in this case inedible) hosts and thus limit the competitive exclusion of poorer (in this case edible) competitors. Thus, if phytoplankton diversity provides functions, and chytrids support algal diversity, chytrids could indirectly favour edible phytoplankton. All three mechanisms are linked to diversity and therefore provide some “insurance” for zooplankton production against the impacts of eutrophication and warming. In our perspective piece, we explore evidence for the chytrid insurance hypothesis , identify exceptions and knowledge gaps, and outline future research directions.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1432-1939}, pages = {279-288}, orcid-numbers = {Abonyi, András/0000-0003-0593-5932; Fornberg, Johanna/0000-0001-5350-7401; Rasconi, Serena/0000-0001-6667-8904; Ptacnik, Robert/0000-0001-7176-7653; Kainz, Martin J./0000-0002-2388-1504; Lafferty, Kevin D./0000-0001-7583-4593} } @article{MTMT:34791227, title = {Resistance not resilience traits structure macroinvertebrate communities in newly drying stream sections}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34791227}, author = {Bozóki, Tamás and Várbíró, Gábor and Csabai, Zoltán Szabolcs and Schmera, Dénes and Boda, Pál}, doi = {10.1007/s10750-024-05518-1}, journal-iso = {HYDROBIOLOGIA}, journal = {HYDROBIOLOGIA}, unique-id = {34791227}, issn = {0018-8158}, abstract = {Transitioning from perennial to non-perennial flow regimes causes ecological shifts in aquatic communities. 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:34774857, title = {Food density drives diet shift of the invasive mysid shrimp, Limnomysis benedeni}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34774857}, author = {Rani, Varsha and Horváth, Zsófia and Nejstgaard, Jens C. and Fierpasz, Ádám and Pálffy, Károly and Vad, Csaba Ferenc}, doi = {10.1002/ece3.11202}, journal-iso = {ECOL EVOL}, journal = {ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34774857}, issn = {2045-7758}, abstract = {Understanding the diet preferences and food selection of invasive species is crucial to better predict their impact on community structure and ecosystem functioning. Limnomysis benedeni , a Ponto‐Caspian invasive mysid shrimp, is one of the most successful invaders in numerous European river and lake ecosystems. While existing studies suggest potentially strong trophic impact due to high predation pressure on native plankton communities, little is known of its food selectivity between phyto‐ and zooplankton, under different food concentrations. Here, we therefore investigated the feeding selectivity of L . benedeni on two commonly occurring prey organisms in freshwaters, the small rotifer zooplankton Brachionus calyciflorus together with the microphytoplankton Cryptomonas sp. present in increasing densities. Our results demonstrated a clear shift in food selection, with L. benedeni switching from B. calyciflorus to Cryptomonas sp. already when the two prey species were provided in equal biomasses. Different functional responses were observed for the two food types, indicating somewhat different foraging mechanisms for each food type.

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:34599661, title = {Characterization of bacterial biofilms developed on the biodegradable polylactide and polycaprolactone polymers containing birch tar in an aquatic environment}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34599661}, author = {Richert, A. and Kalwasińska, A. and Felföldi, Tamás and Szabó, Attila and Fehér, D. and Dembińska, K. and Brzezinska, M.S.}, doi = {10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.115922}, journal-iso = {MAR POLLUT BULL}, journal = {MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN}, volume = {199}, unique-id = {34599661}, issn = {0025-326X}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-3363}, orcid-numbers = {Felföldi, Tamás/0000-0003-2009-2478} } @article{MTMT:34571162, title = {Trophic impact of an invasive mysid shrimp depends on zooplankton community composition: a mesocosm experiment}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34571162}, author = {Patonai, Katalin and Endrédi, Anett and Horváth, Zsófia and Borza, Péter and Pálffy, Károly and Dobosy, Péter and Vad, Csaba Ferenc}, doi = {10.1111/fwb.14233}, journal-iso = {FRESHWATER BIOL}, journal = {FRESHWATER BIOLOGY}, unique-id = {34571162}, issn = {0046-5070}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1365-2427}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, Zsófia/0000-0003-2857-1094; Vad, Csaba Ferenc/0000-0003-4744-0698} } @article{MTMT:34564203, title = {Regional and fine-scale local adaptation in salinity tolerance in Daphnia inhabiting contrasting clusters of inland saline waters}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34564203}, author = {Brans, Kristien I. and Vad, Csaba Ferenc and Horváth, Zsófia and Santy, Luca and Cuypers, Kiani and Ptacnik, Robert and De Meester, Luc}, doi = {10.1098/rspb.2023.1917}, journal-iso = {P ROY SOC B-BIOL SCI}, journal = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES}, volume = {291}, unique-id = {34564203}, issn = {0962-8452}, abstract = {Understanding the spatial scales at which organisms can adapt to strong natural and human-induced environmental gradients is important.

We studied local adaptation of the water flea Daphnia magna , a key component of pond food webs, to salinity in two contrasting landscapes—a dense cluster of sodic bomb crater ponds and a larger-scale cluster of soda pans. We show regional differentiation in salinity tolerance reflecting the higher salinity levels of soda pans versus bomb crater ponds. We found local adaptation to differences in salinity levels at the scale of tens of metres among bomb crater pond populations but not among geographically more distant soda pan populations.
