Altered greenhouse gas emissions in shallow lakes invaded by common carp (Cyprinus carpio)
Abstract Species invasions are among the most important environmental problems facing freshwater ecosystems this century, contributing to biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystem function. Freshwater lakes are an important component of the global carbon cycle and a key source of atmospheric greenhouse gases, yet the consequences of species invasions ...

Abstract Seasonal variations and the biological drivers underlying the methane paradox in freshwater lakes are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the relationship between subsurface methane inventories and phytoplankton in two peri‐Alpine lakes across different seasons.

Life after death in the pelagic: Non‐predatory zooplankton mortality and the “ghost carbon pump”
Abstract The biological carbon pump is traditionally framed as a trophically mediated process in which zooplankton mortality is attributed mainly to predation, routing carbon through fecal pellets and higher trophic levels before export. Increasing evidence, however, shows that nonpredatory mortality—caused by different environmental stressors—accounts

Eutrophication and ice phenology influence methane storage in north temperate lakes
Abstract Among lakes, eutrophication is positively related to methane emissions, but various processes can alter the seasonal conversion of primary production into stored methane. We used a series of whole‐lake enrichment and shading experiments across three years with varying ice phenology to assess how eutrophication and ice cover affect within‐year ...

Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

Overexploitation can counteract top‐down control and the paradox of enrichment in simple food chains
Because of its high abundance or its high feeding intensity, a consumer can overexploit its resource by consuming it on a shorter timescale than resource regeneration. While this short‐term overexploitation is widespread in nature, its general implications for biotic control patterns and ecosystem stability are not clear.

ABSTRACT Fragilariopsis cylindrus is a key diatom in the Southern Ocean, where low iron and manganese availability constrain primary production and biogeochemical activity. The molecular mechanisms used by polar diatoms, including F. cylindrus, to cope with trace metal limitations remain largely unexplored.
