From Headwaters to the Sea: The Journey of Creating an Immersive Museum Exhibit
Abstract We describe the multi‐year journey of a group of researchers co‐creating a museum exhibit with the Biosphère an environmental museum of the City of Montréal. The collaboration resulted in an immersive experience where visitors can dive into an aquatic continuum and learn about function, ecology, chemistry, and the roles of the various aquatic ...

Resolving the environmental factors that determine pond thermal refuge quality
Abstract Cold thermal refuges may mitigate detrimental effects of future climate warming; yet, pond ecosystems have been largely omitted from thermal refuge research despite being globally numerous and providing critical ecosystem services. We create a formal definition for pond thermal refuge quality, then operationalize this definition by measuring ...

Evaluation of climate change scenarios based on aquatic food web modelling [PDF]
In the years 2004 and 2005 we collected samples of phytoplankton, zooplankton and macroinvertebrates in an artificial small pond in Budapest. We set up a simulation model predicting the abundance of the cyclopoids, Eudiaptomus zachariasi and Ischnura ...

Abstract While climate change affects the phytoplankton biodiversity at both local and global scales, predicting phytoplankton community responses to warming is impaired by their polyphyletic complexity. High mountain lakes are highly vulnerable systems, partly due to their limited biodiversity, and forecasting their ecological trajectories is a key ...

Abstract Viruses infecting aquatic microbes vary immensely in size, but the ecological consequences of virus size are poorly understood. Here we used a unique suite of diverse phytoplankton strains and their viruses, all isolated from waters around Hawai'i, to assess whether virus size affects the suppression of host populations.

Processes controlling the quantities of biogenic materials in lakes and reservoirs subject to cultural eutrophication [PDF]
The processes which control the growth, composition, succession and loss from suspension of phytoplankton algae are briefly reviewed, with special reference to function in eutrophic reservoir systems.

Production and fate of macroalgal carbon in the ocean: How much do macroalgal organics matter?
Abstract Global carbon sequestration by macroalgae is hypothesized to rival rates in other blue carbon ecosystems. However, quantifying macroalgal carbon sequestration is challenging as it is hypothesized to occur outside macroalgal ecosystems, with 73% of sequestration occurring when dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is exported to deep ocean waters.

Land influence decouples benthic nutrient fluxes on the Siberian Arctic Ocean shelves
Abstract Land permafrost thaw transfers increasing amounts of organic matter and nutrients to the Arctic Ocean. These nutrients could stimulate primary production directly, or indirectly following remineralization in sediments. Projections of this effect are limited by scarce observations and poor understanding of the underlying controls.
