Ecology of Cladocera species from Central America based on subfossil assemblages
Cladocera species composition was analyzed in surface sediments of 29 lakes in Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras). The material studied was collected with an Ekman grab in autumn 2013 from lakes located in lowland, highland and ...

The contribution of differential hatching success to the fitness of species and interspecific hybrids [PDF]
Resting egg banks of microcrustaceans have been used to reconstruct the evolutionary and ecological history of species. However, recent studies provided evidence for a discrepancy between dormant propagules in the sediment and the planktonic population ...

Subfossil faunal and floral remains (Cladocera, Pediastrum) in two northern Lobelia lakes in Finland
The analysis of lake sediment cores have been long used as historical integrators of environmental changes. Nutrient poor isoetid lakes remain under studied in the north boreal region.

The role of paleolimnology in climate and environment reconstruction and lake restoration in light of research on selected bioindicators [PDF]
Paleolimnologists and ecologists study biotic and abiotic variables to track long-term and short-term environment changes. Microscopic invertebrates, phytoplankton of freshwater ecosystems, and pollen grains have been extensively studied during the last ...

Consecutive earthquakes temporarily restructured the zooplankton community in an Alpine Lake [PDF]
Two consecutive earthquakes temporary changed a zooplankton community in a high-mountain Lake Krn (altitude 1383 m a.s.l.). It was dominated by the eurytherm copepod, Cyclops vicious, until 1998, when the first earthquake hit the lake (EMS = 5.6).
