Temporal Variation in the Abundance of Poblana Alchichica in Near-shore Habitat of the High Elevation Lake, Lago De Alchichica, Puebla, Mexico [PDF]
"The distribution and abundance of organisms within a pond or lake can reflect the result of a variety of factors. We examined the abundance of the endemic fish, Poblana Alchichica, in Lago de Alchichica, Puebla, Mexico, as well as how the abundance varied among months. Dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity varied among months.

Diferenciación morfométrica de los géneros Poblana, Chirostoma y Menidia (Osteichthyes: Atherinopsidae) [PDF]
Background: The recent origin of the genera Chirostoma and Poblana, and the scarce morphological differentiation between them, have made it difficult to define their taxonomic validity, in addition to the fact that both genera share a common ancestor ...

Specific carbonate–microbe interactions in the modern microbialites of Lake Alchichica (Mexico) [PDF]
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? And what is the impact of mineral precipitation on microbial ecology?

The deep benthic communities of tropical lakes are poorly understood with respect to their composition, abundance, biomass and regulatory factors. Whereas the hypolimnia of temperate oligotrophic lakes remain oxygenated, the higher temperatures in ...

Microbialite response to an anthropogenic salinity gradient in Great Salt Lake, Utah. [PDF]
A railroad causeway across Great Salt Lake, Utah (GSL), has restricted water flow since its construction in 1959, resulting in a more saline North Arm (NA; 24%-31% salinity) and a less saline South Arm (SA; 11%-14% salinity).

Bacterial Diversity in the Hyperalkaline Allas Springs (Cyprus), a Natural Analogue for Cementitious Radioactive Waste Repository [PDF]
The biogeochemical gradients that will develop across the interface between a highly alkaline cementitious geological disposal facility for intermediate level radioactive waste and the geosphere are poorly understood.

Estimation of the eddy diffusivity coefficient in a warm monomictic tropical Lake
We used a two-year dataset (1998-1999) of monthly temperature profiles from Lake Alchichica, Mexico to estimate values of the vertical coefficient of eddy diffusivity.

Genetic diversity associated with N-cycle pathways in microbialites from Lake Alchichica, Mexico [PDF]
Author(s): Alcantara-Hernandez, RJ; Valdespino-Castillo, PM; Centeno, CM; Alcocer, J; Merino-Ibarra, M; Falcon, LI | Abstract: Microbialites are an example of complex and diverse microbial assemblages where several metabolic pathways are interconnected for biomass formation coupled to mineral precipitation.
