Robust age-depth models are essential for developing sophisticated interpretations of the
sedimentological history in lake basins. In most cases, such models are created using an …

Gastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They
have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have …

The sediment record from Lake Ohrid (Southwestern Balkans) represents the longest
continuous lake archive in Europe, extending back to 1.36 Ma. We reconstruct the …

Climate changes have substantial impacts on the geographic distribution of montane lakes
and evolutionary dynamics of cold‐adapted species. Past climate cooling is hypothesized to …

Marine-terrestrial transition represents an important aspect of organismal evolution that
requires numerous morphological and genetic innovations and has been hypothesized to …

Studies of the upper 447 m of the DEEP site sediment succession from central Lake Ohrid,
Balkan Peninsula, North Macedonia and Albania provided important insights into the …

Despite evidence for microbial endemism, an understanding of the impact of geological and
paleoclimate events on the evolution of regional protist communities remains elusive. Here …

Unravelling the drivers of species diversification through geological time is of crucial
importance for our understanding of long-term evolutionary processes. Numerous studies …

Aim Freshwater ecosystems and their biota are severely endangered by global change
today, and predicted extinction levels are skyrocketing for many taxa. Most studies have …

Lake Ohrid is the oldest lake in Europe and has been designated as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site for endemism of its biota. Its biodiversity is still not fully known and some taxa …
