Water fluxes out of permeable seabeds contribute considerably to the delivery of dissolved matter across the land-ocean pathway. Apart from assessing the net fluxes across the seabed interface, it is important to understand the transport and mixing dynamics to identify where nutrients distribute and accumulate. In shallow and intermediate water depths, the interplay of seabed topography with waves defines the flow in the lower...

The Daphnia longispina complex contains some of the most common water flea species in the northern hemisphere, and has been a model organism for many ecological and evolutionary studies. Nevertheless, the systematics and nomenclature of this group, in particular its Palaearctic members, have been in flux for the past 150 years; this hinders the correct interpretation of scientific results and promotes the erroneous use of spec...
