Identifying microbial life in rocks: Insights from population morphometry

Geobiology, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 282-305, May 2020., 2020
Abstract The identification of cellular life in the rock record is problematic, since microbial life forms, and particularly bacteria, lack sufficient morphologic complexity to be effectively distinguished from certain abiogenic features in rocks. Examples include organic pore‐fillings, hydrocarbon‐containing fluid inclusions, organic coatings on ...

On the ecology of Cletocamptus gomezi Suárez-Morales, Barrera-Moreno & Ciros-Pérez 2013 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida) micro-endemic to Lake Alchichica, Central Mexico

Journal of Limnology, 2014
Cletocamptus gomezi Suárez-Morales, Barrera-Moreno & Ciros-Pérez (2013) is a recently described new species of meiobenthic Harpacticoida copepod, micro-endemic to Lake Alchichica, Puebla, Central Mexico. Cletocamptus gomezi lives in saline water (K25

Profundal benthic invertebrates in an oligotrophic tropical lake: different strategies for coping with anoxia

Journal of Limnology, 2014
The deep benthic communities of tropical lakes are poorly understood with respect to their composition, abundance, biomass and regulatory factors. Whereas the hypolimnia of temperate oligotrophic lakes remain oxygenated, the higher temperatures in ...

Geomicrobiological study of modern microbialites from Mexico: towards a better understanding of the ancient fossil record

BIO Web of Conferences, 2014
Microbialites are sedimentary formations that are found throughout the geological record and are usually considered as one of the oldest traces of life on Earth.

Estimation of the eddy diffusivity coefficient in a warm monomictic tropical Lake

Journal of Limnology, 2016
We used a two-year dataset (1998-1999) of monthly temperature profiles from Lake Alchichica, Mexico to estimate values of the vertical coefficient of eddy diffusivity.

Cyanobacterial calcification in modern microbialites at the submicrometer scale [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
The search for microfossils in the geological record has been a long-term challenge. Part of the problem comes from the difficulty of identifying such microfossils unambiguously, since they can be morphologically confused with abiotic biomorphs.

Diagenetic formation of stevensite by replacement of diatom frustules in the sediments of the alkaline Lake Alchichica (Mexico)

Sedimentology, 2023
AbstractBetter understanding the conditions of formation of authigenic Mg‐silicates and their reactivity is key to interpret the palaeoenvironmental message carried by the sedimentary record and evaluate the effect of reverse weathering, a process involved in long‐term climate evolution.

Inter-annual ciliate distribution variation within the late stratification oxycline in a monomictic lake, Lake Alchichica (Mexico)

Journal of Limnology, 2016
noxia, and ciliates might play a very important role in the plankton community budget there. We analysed changes in the composition and biomass of the ciliate assemblage and other microbial loop components throughout the oxycline just at the end of ...
