Diversity and distribution of lacustrine diatoms along the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt
Abstract The Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt is recognised as a highly biodiverse zone and we present a study of diatom diversity and species distributions in its lakes. We aimed to identify diatom taxa with the highest regional occupancy, explore diversity at a regional level, identify the main variables associated with species distributions, and present ...

Abstract We present a palaeohydrological reconstruction of Lake Texcoco over the last 32.7 cal ka based on ostracod records consisting of two species, Candona patzcuaro and Limnocytherina axalapasco. Overall, the presence of these species suggests that Lake Texcoco was highly saline and experienced occasional desiccation periods.

The hidden role of dissolved organic carbon in the biogeochemical cycle of carbon in modern redox-stratified lakes [PDF]
The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) reservoir plays a critical role in the C cycle of marine and freshwater environments because of its size and implication in many biogeochemical reactions.

Formation of Magnesium Carbonates on Earth and Implications for Mars
Abstract Magnesium carbonates have been identified within the landing site of the Perseverance rover mission. This study reviews terrestrial analog environments and textural, mineral assemblage, isotopic, and elemental analyses that have been applied to establish formation conditions of magnesium carbonates.

Temporal Variation in the Abundance of Poblana Alchichica in Near-shore Habitat of the High Elevation Lake, Lago De Alchichica, Puebla, Mexico [PDF]
"The distribution and abundance of organisms within a pond or lake can reflect the result of a variety of factors. We examined the abundance of the endemic fish, Poblana Alchichica, in Lago de Alchichica, Puebla, Mexico, as well as how the abundance varied among months. Dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity varied among months.

Deposition, burial and sequestration of carbon in an oligotrophic, tropical lake
The amount of biogenic carbon that may be deposited, buried and eventually preserved (sequestered) in the sediments of a tropical, oligotrophic lake, was evaluated based on i) the temporal variation of the particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration ...

Alkaline phosphatases in microbialites and bacterioplankton from Alchichica soda lake, Mexico [PDF]
Dissolved organic phosphorus utilization by different members of natural communities has been closely linked to microbial alkaline phosphatases whose affiliation and diversity is largely unknown. Here we assessed genetic diversity of bacterial alkaline phosphatases phoX and phoD, using highly diverse microbial consortia (microbialites and ...
