Long term picoplankton dynamics in a warm-monomictic, tropical high altitude lake

Journal of Limnology, 2009
Long term analyses of the microbial loop, centred on the picoplankton dynamics, were carried out over a five-year (1998 to 2002) period in Lake Alchichica (Puebla, Mexico), a high altitude tropical athalassohaline lake.

Spirostomum teres: A Long Term Study of an Anoxic-Hypolimnion Population Feeding upon Photosynthesizing Microorganisms

Acta Protozoologica, 2020
The pelagic / anoxic hypolimnion population of Spirostomum teres was investigated as a part of the long-term ciliates’ monitoring (2003–2016) in an oligo- to mesotrophic monomictic hyposaline crater ...

Formation of Mg‐silicates in the microbial sediments of a saline, mildly alkaline coastal lake (Lake Clifton, Australia): Environmental versus microbiological drivers

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 5, Page 1518-1547, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Recent 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. Traditionally, Mg‐silicate genesis in lacustrine contexts is linked to alkaline or saline conditions in closed, evaporitic basins.

Late Pleistocene–Holocene environmental fluctuations of southern Chihuahua Desert, Mexico

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 634-644, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental reconstructions from the Mexican Chihuahua Desert based on biological proxies are scarce, creating a gap in our understanding of the ecological responses to climate change in this water‐scarce region. Here, we present a paleoenvironmental reconstruction based on geochemical data and biological proxies such as ostracods and ...

Calcium carbonate and phosphorus interactions in inland waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 158-178, April 2025.
Abstract Phosphorus, an element essential to all life, is impacted by calcium carbonate (CaCO3) co‐precipitation and dissolution dynamics across aquatic ecosystems. Changes to climate, hydrology, and eutrophication, coupled with differences in terminology related to naming CaCO3‐producing ecosystems (i.e., chalk, carbonate, karst, travertine), point to

Tracing Groundwater‐Surface Water Interactions in a Volcanic Maar Lake Using Stable Isotopes and 222Rn

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 129, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Isotope hydrological studies to understand groundwater‐surface water interactions in tropical, high‐elevation catchments are limited. These interactions are important in controlling lake water residence time, aqueous biogeochemistry, and water availability for downstream communities and ecosystems. To better comprehend the complexity of spatio‐

Preliminary investigations on picoplankton-related precipitation of alkaline-earth metal carbonates in meso-oligotrophic lake Geneva (Switzerland)

Journal of Limnology, 2013
In the course of a routine water-quality survey in meso-oligotrophic lake Geneva (Switzerland), suspended matter was collected by filtration on 0.2 μm membranes in July and August 2012 at the depth of maximal chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentration (2 mg m–3)

Microbialites on the northern shelf of Lake Van, eastern Türkiye#: Morphology, texture, stable isotope geochemistry and age

Sedimentology, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 850-870, April 2024.
ABSTRACT Lake Van, the world's largest alkaline lake, hosts some of the largest microbialite towers worldwide, which are considered as modern analogues of ancient stromatolites. This study investigates the links between microbialite evolution, geology, climate and hydrology, and the role of biotic and abiotic processes in microbialite growth and ...

On Limnocytherina axalapasco, a new freshwater ostracod (Podocopida: Limnocytheridae) from Mexican crater lakes

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Limnocytherina is a genus conformed by 12 species; its distribution in the American continent is known to be exclusively on the North (neartics), but little is reported about its distribution from Mexico (transition zone) and Central America (Neotropics).
