Formation of Magnesium Carbonates on Earth and Implications for Mars. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Planets, 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.

Candona alchichica (Podocopida: Candonidae), a new ostracod species from saline, tropical Lake Alchichica, Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Limnology, 2016 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.

Inter-annual ciliate distribution variation within the late stratification oxycline in a monomictic lake, Lake Alchichica (Mexico) [PDF]
Journal of Limnology, 2016 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 ...

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.

Dynamics of internal waves generated by mountain breeze in Alchichica Crater Lake, Mexico
Geofísica Internacional, 2015 Hydrophysical measurements carried out in the deep tropical crater lake Alchichica, Mexico, showed the presence of intense internal waves with a one-day period, generated by the regular influence of a mountain breeze.
