Abstract Freshwater salinization poses a growing global environmental concern, introducing complex chemical cocktails and jeopardizing freshwater biodiversity, particularly fish populations. This research aimed to elucidate the molecular foundations of salinity adaptation in non-native minnow species ( Phoxinus septimaniae x P. dragarum ) exposed saline effluents from potash mines Llobregat River, Barcelona, Spain. Employing high-throughput mRNA sequencing differential gene expression analyses, we examined brain, gills, liver tissues collected at two stations (upstream downstream effluent discharge). Salinization markedly influenced profiles, with brain exhibiting most differentially expressed genes, emphasizing its unique sensitivity fluctuations. Pathway analyses revealed expected enrichment ion transport osmoregulation pathways across all tissues. Furthermore, tissue-specific associated stress, reproduction, growth, immune responses, methylation, neurological development were identified context salinization. Rigorous validation RNA-seq data through quantitative PCR (qPCR) underscored robustness consistency our findings platforms. investigation unveils intricate mechanisms steering minnows confronting diverse stressors. Advancing comprehension genomic responses changes, study provides crucial insights into adaptive strategies aquatic organisms grappling comprehensive analysis sheds light on underlying genetic physiological governing salinity-stressed environments, offering essential knowledge for conservation management ecosystems facing escalating pressures.

Human activities and climate change cause abiotic factors to fluctuate through time, sometimes passing thresholds for organismal reproduction survival. Multiple stressors can independently or interactively impact organisms; however, few studies have examined how they interact when overlap spatially but occur asynchronously. Fluctuations in salinity been found freshwater habitats worldwide. Meanwhile, heatwaves become more frequent extreme. High pulses are often decoupled time still collectively zooplankton. The intervals between them, during which population growth community recovery could happen, influence combined effects, no one has these effects. We conducted a mesocosm experiment examine different times (0-, 3-, 6-week) salt treatment heatwave exposure their hypothesized that antagonistic effects would appear having short because previous study similar species were affected by the two stressors, additive with longer since fully recovered communities respond undisturbed communities. Our findings showed that, combined, two-stressor joint impacts changed from increased stressors. Surprisingly, full compositional was not achieved despite period long enough growth, suggesting legacy earlier treatment. mainly driven small organisms, such as rotifers cladocerans. As result, recovering responded differently than communities, leading zooplankton regardless of research bolsters understanding management multiple-stressor issues revealing prior stressor long-lasting on lead unexpected multiple

Abstract Exposure to synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals, affects freshwater communities at broad spatial scales. This risk is commonly managed in a prospective environmental assessment (ERA). Relying on generic methods, few standard test organisms, safety factors account for uncertainty, ERA determines concentrations that are assumed pose low risks ecosystems. Currently, this procedure neglects potential variation assemblage sensitivity among ecosystem types recommends single low-risk concentration each compound. Whether systematic differences exist or their size, currently unknown. Elucidating patterns chemicals could therefore enhance precision narrow fundamental knowledge gap ecology, the Hutchinsonian shortfall.

Abstract The Arctic polar nights bring extreme environmental conditions characterised by cold and darkness, which challenge the survival of organisms in Arctic. Additionally, multiple anthropogenic stressors can amplify pressure on fragile ecosystems during this period.

ABSTRACT Communities in stream ecosystems often respond asymmetrically to increase and release of stressors, as indicated by slow incomplete recovery. The Asymmetric Response Concept (ARC) posits that this is due a shift the relative importance three mechanisms: tolerance, dispersal, biotic interactions. In complex natural communities, these mechanisms may produce alternative outcomes through poorly understood indirect effects. To understand how different temporal stressor scenarios, we studied multiple scenarios using food web model. We asked following questions: Do groups species decline expected on basis individual tolerance rankings derived from laboratory experiments when they are embedded dynamic web? Does response ecosystem function match communities? address questions, aggregated data tolerances at level functional single stressors affect dynamics nutrient cycling. Multiple involved intensities salt temperature increase. Functional exhibited ranking between contexts.

Abstract Urbanization imposes multiple anthropogenic stressors on freshwater ecosystems, affecting aquatic species’ physiological responses. This study explores the transcriptomic responses of fish Cottus rhenanus to various in an urban river system. RNA sequencing from stations revealed significant seasonal variations gene expression, with a higher number differentially expressed genes (DEGs) observed summer. Fish at station experiencing highest pressure showed notable responses, particularly during warmer months, enriched pathways related metabolism, oxidative stress, and immune Key findings include activation metabolic stress system genes, such as IL-17 MAPK pathways, influenced by high temperatures, salinity, low oxygen levels. Pathway enrichment analyses highlight impact temperature salinity osmoregulation, revealing critical role transportome adapting changes. These showcase complex interactions between emphasizing need for integrated conservation strategies manage stream ecosystems.
