Small changes in climate can profoundly alter the dynamics and ecosystem services of tropical crater lakes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
African tropical lakes provide vital ecosystem services including food and water to some of the fastest growing human populations, yet they are among the most understudied ecosystems in the world. The consequences of climate change and other stressors on

Andean drought and glacial retreat tied to Greenland warming during the last glacial period

Nature Communications, 2020
How the abrupt warming events recorded in Greenland ice cores during the last glacial cycle have influenced the tropical climate is not well known. Here the authors present new lake sediment data from the Peruvian Andes that shows that these events ...

Influences of Lake Malawi on the spatial and diurnal variability of local precipitation [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019
We investigate how the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation vary around Lake Malawi on a diurnal timescale, which can be valuable information for water resource management in tropical south-eastern African nations. Using a state-of-the-art

A Global lake ecological observatory network (GLEON) for synthesising high-frequency sensor data for validation of deterministic ecological models

, 2014
A Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON; www.gleon.org) has formed to provide a coordinated response to the need for scientific understanding of lake processes, utilising technological advances available from autonomous sensors.

Hydrochemistry, ostracods and diatoms in a deep, tropical, crater lake in Western Mexico

Journal of Limnology, 2013
Crater lakes are sensitive to natural and anthropogenic environmental changes and it is important to define and understand their current status in order to evaluate past changes related to climate variability and future ones associated with modern global

Seasonal abundance of small cladocerans in Lake Mangakaware, Waikato, New Zealand

, 1999
The seasonal changes in the dynamics and life histories of the Cladocera in Lake Mangakaware, North Island, New Zealand, were studied over 19 months by sampling at weekly or 2-weekly intervals.

Temporal variation of phytoplankton in a small tropical crater lake, Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
The temporal variation in lake’s phytoplankton is important to understand its general biodiversity. For tropical lakes, it has been hypothesized that they follow a similar pattern as temperate ones, on a much accelerated pace; nevertheless, few case ...

Distribution and fluctuations of backswimmers (Notonectidae) in a tropical shallow lake and predation on microcrustaceans

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Notonectids are widely distributed in freshwaters and can prey on zooplankton in temperate lakes. However, its role in structuring the zooplankton community is unknown in tropical lakes.

Year-round N2O production by benthic NOx reduction in a monomictic south-alpine lake [PDF]

, 2013
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas, generated through microbial nitrogen (N) turnover processes, such as nitrification, nitrifier denitrification, and denitrification.
