Importance of abiotic factors and hydroperiod for the zooplankton community from ponds with different hydrological dynamics by José Gabriel Melo da Cruz, Fernanda Zucoloto Domingues, Luisa Rodrigues dos Santos, Rayanne Barros Setubal, Elder de Oliveira Sodré, Reinaldo Luiz Bozelli

“…Methods We indirectly assessed water retention time through daily temperature measurements over three years and analyzed the main limnological parameters. The zooplankton community was sampled from the five studied ponds, and its diversity was evaluated using species richness (S), Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’), functional richness (FRic), functional divergence (FDiv), and functional dispersion (FDis). …”

Existence and Global Exponential Stability of Almost Periodic Solutions for SICNNs with Nonlinear Behaved Functions and Mixed Delays by Xinsong Yang, Jinde Cao, Chuangxia Huang, Yao Long

“…By using the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem and differential inequality techniques, several new sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and global exponential stability of almost periodic solutions for shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with discrete and distributed delays. The model in this paper possesses two characters: nonlinear behaved functions and all coefficients are time varying. …”

Land Ecosystem Service Functions for Dongting Lake Ecological Economic Zone Based on InVEST Model by Yang Jun, Zhou Pengquan, Yuan Shujun, Tan Xin, Lou Zhifei

“…[Results] ① Land use conversion was mainly based on conversion between forest land and cultivated land, water area and cultivated land, and conversion of forest land and cultivated land into construction land. ② The water source conservation and soil conservation functions were significantly improved, and the carbon storage and habitat quality functions were slightly reduced. ③ The low-value areas of water conservation, carbon storage, habitat quality, and functional substance quality were located near the central lake area of the study area, while the high-value areas of soil conservation functional material quality were mainly located in the east, southwest, and northwest. …”
