“…Studies showing positive effects of nutrients on macrophyte growth were conducted with species belonging to different life forms (Thomaz et al 2007, Henry-Silva et al 2008Kobayashi et al 2008, Mormul et al 2020. There are also studies showing that in some ecosystems, spatial processes (e.g., dispersal) are more important than limnological features as determinants of macrophyte composition (e.g., Moura-Júnior et al 2020).…”

In this review, we evaluate the contribution of Brazilian limnologists to research outputs on aquatic macrophyte ecology. We found a strong “adviser effect” of Professor F.A. Esteves on the Brazilian scientific production focused on aquatic macrophytes. In general, articles focused on a variety of themes, including, inter alia, the role of aquatic macrophytes on the biodiversity of other groups, the interaction between macrophytes and the environment, the effects of environmental factors on aquatic macrophytes distribution and biodiversity, the effects of invasive species on aquatic biodiversity, aquatic macrophytes control and decomposition. Emerging topics (e.g., metacommunity ecology, biodiversity-ecosystem functioning, and patterns of diversity and their determinants) are being embraced by Brazilian limnologists that use aquatic macrophytes as organism models. Despite the fact there is much to study, we think that directly (e.g., via mentoring) or indirectly (via publications), our current knowledge about macrophytes ecology was inspired by Chico Esteves.

“…These species are native Limnological layers improve species distribution modeling of aquatic macrophytes at fine-spatial resolution to Brazil and are commonly found in rivers and reservoirs (Pott & Pott 2000;Pellegrini et al 2018;Flora do Brasil 2020. They are capable of vegetative propagation and have a high rate of primary productivity, which is why they are classified as weed or invasive species in several regions of South America, North America, Europe, Southern Africa, East Asia, and Oceania (Pott & Pott 2000;Bini & Thomaz 2005;Pompêo 2017;Moura-Júnior et al 2020).…”

Species distribution modeling (SDM) studies of aquatic macrophytes are still attached to methodological paradigms focused on terrestrial plants, such as the use of bioclimatic layers. Our goal was to evaluate the applicability of this paradigm based on a SDM study of Egeria densa, Pontederia crassipes, and Salvinia auriculata in the São Francisco river, Brazil. We compared performances of optimizations of computed models using AUC and TSS with distribution records of these species and bioclimatic layers, or limnological layers generated from the interpolation of data obtained in the field. We calculated models using six algorithms. The models calculated using layers of limnological variables had higher performances than did those calculated using layers of bioclimatic variables, except when the Maximum Entropy Default algorithm was used. We attribute these results to the specificities of the data obtained to develop the limnological layers, such as observations obtained in different habitats of the river and during different hydrologic periods. We conclude that the use of bioclimatic layers, a methodological paradigm traditionally used for SDM of aquatic macrophytes, can be questionable for some situations, such as in investigations at local and regional scales.

“…Studies with this approach can be applied to interpret a species' biogeographical or ecological niche on a local or regional scale and conservation of this group of plants on macroscales (O'Hare et al 2018). Species richness and distribution patterns or the selection of environmental predictors for the occurrence of aquatic plants in different spatial scales are approaches that have recently caught the interest of ecologists (Moreira et al 2015;Lopes et al 2016;Moura-Júnior & Cotarelli 2019;Oliveira et al 2019;Pulzato et al 2019;Murphy et al 2020;Moura-Júnior et al 2021a). Three manuscripts published in this ABB issue report investigations on some of these approaches.…”

“…2D). Furthermore, studies addressing the methodological paradigms (Dalla-Vecchia et al 2020;Moura-Júnior et al 2021a), analyzing macroecological and biogeographic patterns (Lopes et al 2017;Pulzatto et al 2019;Murphy et al 2019;, or the functional ecology of these plants in Neotropical ecosystems (Moreira et al 2015;Lopes et al 2016;Catian et al 2018;Carvalho et al 2020), are still incipient. Studies on the management of invasive aquatic macrophytes or the phytochemical characterization and application of aquatic plant species for commercial uses are also nearly inexistent in the Neotropics (Padial et al 2008).…”

Until the mid-XX century, little awareness on the ecological services or socio-environmental problems and benefits related to aquatic plants culminated in bottlenecks on their natural history, especially for the Neotropics. In this context, Acta Botanica Brasilica (ABB) organized this special issue to promote the advancement of knowledge on this ecological group in the Neotropics, supported by Sociedade Botânica do Brasil's group of aquatic plants specialists. We selected and evaluated manuscripts gathering unprecedented findings, resulting from studies on aquatic plants, with little investigated or documented approaches, such as the improper use of methodological paradigms and aspects of biogeography, ecophysiology, morphoanatomy, structuration of communities, functional ecology, and human use. Here we present a synthesis of these reports' findings that shall contribute to deepening the knowledge on the natural history, sustainable use, and conservation of aquatic plants and guide future research, mainly in Neotropical aquatic ecosystems. The publication of special issues on themes with insufficient knowledge to Science can reduce such gaps and expand the journal's perspectives. Therefore, we believe that this special issue of ABB will boost the understanding of aquatic plants' natural history as much as incentivizing journals with specific scopes of the area of Plant Biology to similar initiatives.
