Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 1818-1838, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Rincon de Parangueo (RP) is a Quaternary maar crater located in the Michoacan‐Guanajuato Volcanic Field in central Mexico. Like other volcanic craters in the region, the central part was occupied by an endorheic lacustrine system. As a consequence of extensive groundwater extraction, the perennial lake started a gradual desiccation process and

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 750-766, July 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Lake Chalco, in Central Mexico, has a long diatom record which provides an excellent opportunity to document the biotic and hydrological responses of this ecosystem to orbital‐ and millennial‐scale climatic variability during the last 150 ka. Detrended correspondence analysis was used to evaluate the ecological turnover and to identify diatom ...

Nitrogen is unlikely to consistently limit primary productivity in most tropical lakes
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite mounting evidence that tropical lakes may experience an array of phytoplankton nutrient limitation regimes, references to low‐latitude lakes being predominantly nitrogen limited remain common in the literature. To assess the current understanding of nutrient limitation regimes in tropical lakes, we performed a literature review with ...

Diversity and distribution of lacustrine diatoms along the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt
Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 391-405, March 2023., 2023 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 ...

The hidden role of dissolved organic carbon in the biogeochemical cycle of carbon in modern redox-stratified lakes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 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.

20 Years of Global Change on the Limnology and Plankton of a Tropical, High-Altitude Lake
Diversity, 2022 The present long-term (1993–2013) study was aimed at identifying the effects of global change on the environmental characteristics and the plankton community of the tropical, high-altitude Lake Alchichica, Puebla, Mexico.

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 1270-1279, October 2022., 2022 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.

Formation of Magnesium Carbonates on Earth and Implications for Mars
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021 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.

Alkaline phosphatases in microbialites and bacterioplankton from Alchichica soda lake, Mexico [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2014 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 ...

Specific carbonate-microbe interactions in the modern microbialites of Lake Alchichica (Mexico). [PDF]
ISME J, 2013 Abstract The role of microorganisms in microbialite formation remains unresolved: do they induce mineral precipitation (microbes first) or do they colonize and/or entrap abiotic mineral precipitates (minerals first)? Does this role vary from one species to another?
