Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Community Structure in Field and Cultured Microbialites from the Alkaline Lake Alchichica (Mexico) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The geomicrobiology of crater lake microbialites remains largely unknown despite their evolutionary interest due to their resemblance to some Archaean analogs in the dominance of in situ carbonate precipitation over accretion.

Phenotypic plasticity of life-history traits of a calanoid copepod in a tropical lake: Is the magnitude of thermal plasticity related to thermal variability? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 According to the Climatic Variability Hypothesis [CVH], thermal plasticity should be wider in organisms from temperate environments, but is unlikely to occur in tropical latitudes where temperature fluctuations are narrow.

Planktonic microbial communities from microbialite-bearing lakes sampled along a salinity-alkalinity gradient. [PDF]
Limnol Oceanogr, 2022 Abstract Continental freshwater systems are particularly vulnerable to environmental variation. Climate change‐induced desertification and the anthropogenic exploitation of hydric resources result in the progressive evaporation and salinization of inland water bodies in many areas of the globe.

Short-term climatic change in lake sediments from lake Alchichica, Oriental, Mexico [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2003 Reduced precipitation in central Mexico is related to ENSO events. These short-term climatic fluctuations can modify mixing-stratification patterns of lake systems, reflected in the sediments deposited at the bottom year after year.

Effects of El Niño on the dynamics of Lake Alchichica, central Mexico [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2003 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.

Micropearls and other intracellular inclusions of amorphous calcium carbonate: an unsuspected biomineralization capacity shared by diverse microorganisms. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2022 Summary An unsuspected biomineralization process, which produces intracellular inclusions of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), was recently discovered in unicellular eukaryotes. These mineral inclusions, called micropearls, can be highly enriched with other alkaline‐earth metals (AEM) such as Sr and Ba.

Seasonal and Interannual Dynamics of Pelagic Rotifers in a Tropical, Saline, Deep Lake
Diversity, 2022 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 ...

Untangling the Primary Biotic and Abiotic Controls on Oxygen, Inorganic and Organic Carbon Isotope Signals in Modern Microbialites. [PDF]
GeobiologyABSTRACT Microbialites are organo‐sedimentary structures formed throughout most of the Earth history, over a wide range of geological contexts, and under a multitude of environmental conditions affecting their composition. The carbon and oxygen isotope records of carbonates, which are most often their main constituents, have been used as a widespread ...
