Comparing modern and Pleistocene ENSO-like influences in NW Argentina using nonlinear time series analysis methods

open access: yes, 2003
Higher variability in rainfall and river discharge could be of major importance in landslide generation in the north-western Argentine Andes. Annual layered (varved) deposits of a landslide dammed lake in the Santa Maria Basin (26 deg S, 66 deg W) with ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

East African Fisheries Research Organization Annual Report 1952 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1952
Several important advances have been made in our knowledge both regarding the factors which determine fertility in tropical lakes and the fish that live in them.

Heterotrophic activity and bacterial growth in a tropical lake (Lake Xolotlán, Managua, Nicaragua)

open access: yesSIL Proceedings, 1922-2010, 1991
[3H]–thymidine incorporation was consistently high in the 4 monthly sampling dates of the rainy season averaging 91 pmol · l−1 · h−1 at station 1 and 65 pmol · l−1 · h−1 at station 7.

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Effects of El Niño on the dynamics of Lake Alchichica, central Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 2003
Lake Alchichica is a deep, warm-monomictic lake in Puebla State, central Mexico. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll a annual concentration patterns are compared under ENSO and non-ENSO conditions.

Using eDNA to biomonitor the fish community in a tropical oligotrophic lake

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an effective approach for detecting vertebrates and plants, especially in aquatic ecosystems, but prior studies have largely examined eDNA in cool temperate settings.

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.
