• Revisiting Remane’s concept: evidence for high plankton diversity and a protistan species maximum in the horohalinicum of the Baltic Sea (2011, background): “Additionally, different opinions on the existence of genuine brackish-water species (e.g. Barnes 1989, Cognetti & Maltagliati 2000, Attrill 2002) challenge Remane’s curve.”
• Ecological evaluation of transitional and coastal waters: A marine benthic macrophytes-based model. (2001, result): “This is in agreement with ecological theory, which regards brackish waters and polluted areas as unpredictable environments (SANDERS, 1968; COGNETTI & MALTAGLIATI, 2000) with spatial and temporal changes in the intensity of disturbance (ORFANIDIS et al., 2001).”
• Four arguments why so many alien species settle into estuaries, with special reference to the German river Elbe (2006, background): “salinity, oxygen) and possess a high ecological adaptability (Michaelis et al. 1992; Cognetti and Maltagliati 2000).”
• Species richness of crustacean zooplankton and trophic structure of brackish lagoons in contrasting climate zones: north temperate Denmark and Mediterranean Catalonia (Spain) (2009, background): “Some brackish and saline lagoons might be capable of coping with slight increases in salinity since the organisms dominating these systems can tolerate varying salinities, and well structured communities can be found at high salinities (Cognetti and Maltagliati 2000).”
• Patterns of composition and species richness of crustaceans and aquatic insects along environmental gradients in Mediterranean water bodies (2008, background): “Crustacean and aquatic insect richness A species richness decrease in the transitional zone from fresh to brackish waters has been observed in coastal wetlands (e.g. Cognetti & Maltagliati, 2000).”
• Transitions in bacterial communities along the 2000 km salinity gradient of the Baltic Sea (2011, background): “Among the abiotic factors, salinity has been shown to have a particularly strong impact on the distribution patterns of species, including benthic and pelagic organisms (Remane, 1934; Wasmund et al., 1999; Cognetti and Maltagliati, 2000; Wetzel, 2001; Ysebaert et al., 2003; Ojaveer et al., 2010; Tel”
• Climate Change and the Future of Freshwater Biodiversity in Europe: A Primer for Policy-Makers (2009, background): “Closed systems have specialist species, resilient to drying and salinity, often with life-history stages to survive complete drying out (Cognetti & Maltagliati, 2000).”
