Algal blooms occurrence is increasing around the globe. However, algal blooms are
uncommon in dominantly oligotrophic high-altitude lakes. Lake Titicaca, the largest …

Soda lake environments are known to be variable and can have distinct differences
according to geographical location. In this study, we investigated the effects of different …

The role of tropical lakes and reservoirs in the global carbon cycle has received increasing
attention in the past decade, but our understanding of its variability is still limited. The …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the main substrate for aquatic prokaryotes, fuelling their
metabolism and controlling community composition. Amazonian rivers transport and process …

The turnover of microbial communities across space is dictated by local and regional factors.
Locally, selection shapes community assembly through biological interactions between …

It is widely accepted that in many aquatic ecosystems bacterioplankton is dependent on and
regulated by organic carbon supplied by phytoplankton, leading to coupled algae-bacteria …

Food web studies rely heavily on the use of traditional gut content analysis or the fairly
popular stable isotope analysis rather than fatty acid analysis (FAA) despite its …

We assessed the impact of cascaded reservoirs on the phytoplankton's functional and
taxonomic structure. We tested whether functional traits in these communities were selected …

Aquatic macrophyte leachate is one of the autochthonous sources of carbon and nitrogen in
aquatic systems, and microbial communities easily mineralize these elements …

Bacterioplankton comprises a highly diverse group of microorganisms, which are dominant
in aquatic ecosystems, and play a central role in ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical …
