Many aquatic organisms rely on passive transport of resting stages for their dispersal. In this
review, we provide evidence pointing to the high dispersal capacity of both animals …

Multi-proxy studies are becoming increasingly common in palaeolimnology. Eight basic
requirements and challenges for a multi-proxy study are outlined in this essay–definition of …

This concise, readable introduction to limnology (the science of investigating the structure
and function of inland waters), places the subject in the context of modern ecology. Unlike …

Now in its second edition, Pollution of Lakes and Rivers provides essential insights into
present-day water quality problems from an international perspective. Explains simply and …

Renowned evolutionary biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant have produced landmark
studies of the Galápagos finches first made famous by Charles Darwin. In How and Why …

Many representatives of freshwater zooplankton produce at some stage in their life cycle
resting stages. A variable portion of the eggs of the previous growing period will hatch at the …

Analyses of sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) have increased exponentially over the last decade
and hold great potential to study the effects of anthropogenic stressors on lake biota over …

Natural selection can lead to rapid changes in organisms, which can in turn influence
ecosystem processes. A key factor in the functioning of lake ecosystems is the rate at which …

For an accurate assessment of the anthropogenic impacts on evolutionary change in natural
populations, we need long‐term environmental, genetic and phenotypic data that predate …

For a short-lived organism, such as a freshwater zooplankter, the ways of coping with years
of local recruitment failure are either to disperse between habitats and recolonise or to …
