Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada
Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...

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

Aquaculture in tropical Mexican lakes and dams: achievements and perspectives [PDF]
, 2000 Mexico, with highly diverse physiography, geology, soils and climate, is a country with a broad mosaic of aquatic ecosystems within 320 watersheds.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

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

ASEAN Engineering Journal, 2014 In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic model was developed to investigate the water circulation characteristics of a shallow tropical lake environment (Laguna Lake, Philippines) under varying wind stress, watershed river discharge, and sea ...

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

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
