The abundance and biomass of ciliates are both strongly related to lake trophic status as
measured by chlorophyll a concentrations. Taxonomic replacements occur with increasing …

Characterizing the nature of past hydrological change and its interactions with vegetation is
fundamental to acquiring a better understanding of continental tropical climate dynamics …

Communities of microscopic plant life, or phytoplankton, dominate the Earth's aquatic
ecosystems. This important new book by Colin Reynolds covers the adaptations, physiology …

1. This review considers the periodic cycles of species dominance in a wide selection of
temperate lakes. By ascribing individual species to assemblages, a high incidence of …

This unique textbook takes a broad look at the rapidly expanding field of freshwater
microbiology. Concentrating on the interactions between viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi and …

Variations in the carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition of bulk organic matter in the
sediments of Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana reflect climatically induced changes to the lake and the …

Deep tropical lakes are excellent climate monitors because annual mixing is shallow and
flushing rates are low, allowing heat to accumulate during climatic warming. We describe …

Nitrogen is a small but essential constituent of all organisms and as such can be regarded
as a key nutrient. Together with phosphorous and silicon, it is commonly viewed as one of …

Mixotrophy is a common phenomenon among planktonic algae and protozoa. Mixotrophic
protists that combine phagotrophy and phototrophy are often abundant in the euphotic zone …

Acquisition of phototrophy is widely distributed in the eukaryotic tree of life and can involve
algal endosymbiosis or plastid retention from green or red origins. Species with acquired …
