Climatic Effects on Lake Basins. Part I: Modeling Tropical Lake Levels [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2011 Abstract The availability of satellite estimates of rainfall and lake levels offers exciting new opportunities to estimate the hydrologic properties of lake systems. Combined with simple basin models, connections to climatic variations can then be explored with a focus on a future ability to predict changes in storage volume for water ...

Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]
, 2010 In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Zooplankton in Lake Coatetelco, a Eutrophic Shallow Tropical Lake in Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2003 ABSTRACT Zooplankton from Lake Coatetelco, a shallow tropical reservoir in Morelos State, Mexico, was surveyed monthly through one year. The entire zooplankton community was represented by only five species, with the calanoid Arctodiaptomus dorsalis overwhelmingly dominant throughout the year.

Estimation of the eddy diffusivity coefficient in a warm monomictic tropical Lake
Journal of Limnology, 2016 We used a two-year dataset (1998-1999) of monthly temperature profiles from Lake Alchichica, Mexico to estimate values of the vertical coefficient of eddy diffusivity.

Review of river fisheries valuation in West and Central Africa [PDF]
, 2008 This paper provides a review of the valuation of river fisheries in West and Central Africa. It is the general perception that, compared to the biological and ecological aspects of river fisheries, this particular subject area has received relatively ...

Lacustrine mollusc radiations in the Lake Malawi Basin : experiments in a natural laboratory for evolution [PDF]
, 2012 In terminal Pliocene-early Pleistocene times, part of the Malawi Basin was occupied by paleo-lake Chiwondo. Molluscan biostratigraphy situates this freshwater lake either in the East African wet phase between 2.7-2.4 Ma or that of 2.0-1.8 Ma.

Drivers for ecosystem respiration during the drawdown period in Dongting Lake, China
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Global lakes play an active role in releasing carbon into the atmosphere. However, previous research was less focused on shallow tropical and sub-tropical lakes, especially ecosystem respiration during the drawdown period.

Lake Kivu: Limnology and biogeochemistry of a tropical great lake
, 2012 In the heart of Africa, a unique lake has attracted the attention of scientists since the beginning of the 20th century. At the foot of the Virunga volcano chain, Lake Kivu harbors a vast amount of dissolved carbon dioxide and methane, making it the most dangerous lake on Earth.
