Join fisheries specialist Dr. Mitch Zischke and Fred Whitford from the Purdue Pesticide program as they share about pond vegetation, from what is pond vegetation and why is it useful, to how you ...

A research team has identified a significant environmental risk linked to the decline of submerged macrophytes: the ...

Vascular plants that moved back into the water did not simply shed complexity and shrink their genomes. New genomic work shows that many aquatic lineages instead rewire and expand key gene families, ...

Wetland restoration is critical for improving ecosystem services, but many aquatic plant nurseries do not have facilities similar to those typically used for large-scale plant production. This study ...

Wetland plants have a high tolerance against flooding due to the formation of “lysigenous aerenchyma,” air channels that help transfer gases to the submerged roots. These channels also help the plant ...

Mussels stick to rocks on the seafloor, to aquatic plants, and—to the consternation of boaters—they can hitch rides fastened to seafaring vessels no matter their composition: metals, rubber, glass, ...

Researchers found that not only are freshwater aquatic plants affected by climate, they are also shaped by the surrounding landscape. When in an environment where CO2 is limited, aquatic plants use ...

Let's talk about sex. Plant sex. In your garden-variety land plant, reproduction happens when pollen from a male flowering plant ends up in the female part of a plant. To get there, pollen grains can ...

As small aquatic habitats disappear at an alarming rate, private garden ponds may help compensate for the loss of natural ...

Aquatic plants are often misunderstood as simple “lakeweeds” that get in the way of swimming, boating and other water recreation. This sentiment leads many shoreline owners to remove all aquatic ...
