Alpine lakes are well known as “environmental sentinels”, which are sensitive to
anthropogenic impacts, and paleoecological studies provide useful information regarding …

The ecology of aquatic protists such as testate amoebae is poorly known worldwide, but is
almost completely unknown in lakes of the northern Neotropics. To address this knowledge …

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are phagocytic protists that play crucial roles in microbial
communities as significant microbial grazers. However, our current knowledge of their …

Testate amoebae are unicellular organisms characterized by a shell-like test. Due to their
potential use as bioindicators (and paleoindicators), these organisms have been …

Lake Tzibaná is one of the largest (1.27 km2) and deepest (Zmax= 52 m) karstic lakes in the
UNESCO's Biosphere Reserve “Nahá-Metzabok” and in the Lacandon Forest, southeastern …

Using a 530-year sediment record from the maar Lake Apastepeque, El Salvador, and
based on diverse geochemical and biological (cladocerans, chironomids, diatoms …

There is little knowledge about testate amoebae in lakes and their responses to volcanic
eruptions. To address this knowledge gap, we studied the paleoecology of these protists in a …

This paper presents the first modern pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs and grain size data
from a pristine mangrove tidal creek on the South Andaman Island, Andaman and Nicobar …

Freshwater quality represents a central issue for human populations and the conservation of
aquatic communities. In this sense, freshwater reservoirs, such as lakes, require proper …

We studied benthic assemblages through X-Batún, a continental freshwater cenote and its
associated submerged cave located in San Antonio Mulix (Yucatán, Mexico). Using cave …
