An application of Bayesian Belief Networks to assess management scenarios for aquaculture in a complex tropical lake system in Indonesia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 A Bayesian Belief Network, validated using past observational data, is applied to conceptualize the ecological response of Lake Maninjau, a tropical lake ecosystem in Indonesia, to tilapia cage farms operating on the lake and to quantify its impacts to ...

Correlates of zooplankton beta diversity in tropical lake systems. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 The changes in species composition between habitat patches (beta diversity) are likely related to a number of factors, including environmental heterogeneity, connectivity, disturbance and productivity. Here, we used data from aquatic environments in five Brazilian regions over two years and two seasons (rainy and dry seasons or high and low water level

Morphometry and mixing regime of a tropical lake: Lake Nova (Southeastern Brazil) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016 Lake Nova (15.5 km2) is the second largest lake in the Lower Doce River Valley (Southeastern Brazil). A better understanding of ecosystem structure and functioning requires knowledge about lake morphometry, given that lake basin form influences water ...

Nitrogen is unlikely to consistently limit primary productivity in most tropical lakes
Ecosphere, 2023 Despite mounting evidence that tropical lakes may experience an array of phytoplankton nutrient limitation regimes, references to low‐latitude lakes being predominantly nitrogen limited remain common in the literature. To assess the current understanding
