Habitat expansion of a tropical chironomid by seasonal alternation in use of littoral and profundal zones [PDF]
The consistent warming of tropical lakes at all depths causes rapid development and long persistence of seasonal hypoxia in the hypolimnion, which greatly reduces the biodiversity of hypolimnetic benthic invertebrates. Full mixing of the water column in

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

Metagenome-based diversity analyses suggest a significant contribution of non-cyanobacterial lineages to carbonate precipitation in modern microbialites [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are thought to play a key role in carbonate formation due to their metabolic activity, but other organisms carrying out oxygenic photosynthesis (photosynthetic eukaryotes) or other metabolisms (e.g.

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

Candona alchichica (Podocopida: Candonidae), a new ostracod species from saline, tropical Lake Alchichica, Mexico [PDF]
In North America, most species of the Candonidae family belong to the genus Candona. These species are frequently found in freshwater ecosystems and in sediment sequences, which makes them valuable tools for paleoenvironmental reconstructions.

Formation of Mg-silicates in the microbial sediments of a saline, mildly alkaline coastal lake (Lake Clifton, Australia) : Environmental versus microbiological drivers [PDF]
Altres ajuts: acords transformatius de la UABRecent interest in Mg-rich silicate formation stems from its role as a valuable palaeoclimatic indicator in fluvio-lacustrine environments and its insights into metal geochemical cycling.

Identifying microbial life in rocks: Insights from population morphometry [PDF]
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.

Seasonal and Interannual Dynamics of Pelagic Rotifers in a Tropical, Saline, Deep Lake
This is the first long-term study (monthly samples at two 4-year intervals: 1998 to 2001 and 2013 to 2016) on rotifers in a saline, deep lake. The pelagic rotifer assemblage of Lake Alchichica is simple and comprised by two species, both new and most ...

Effects of El Niño on the dynamics of Lake Alchichica, central Mexico [PDF]
Lake Alchichica is a deep, warm-monomictic lake in Puebla State, central Mexico. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll a annual concentration patterns are compared under ENSO and non-ENSO conditions.
