Eutrophication is expected to increase methane production in freshwater sediments
worldwide over the coming decades. Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) consume a …

While climate warming is widely predicted to reduce body size of ectotherms, evidence for
this trend is mixed. Body size depends not only on temperature but also on other factors …

Even though lake sediments are globally important organic carbon (OC) sinks, the controls
on long-term OC storage in these sediments are unclear. Using a multiproxy approach, we …

Population cycles can be caused by consumer–resource interactions. Confirming the role of
consumer–resource interactions, however, can be challenging due to an absence of data for …

General mechanisms underlying the pathways of methane (CH4)-derived carbon in aquatic
food webs are often associated with eutrophication-driven anoxia. Yet, the influence of …

Macroinvertebrates are widespread in lake sediments and alter sedimentary properties
through their activity (bioturbation). Understanding the interactions between bioturbation and …

Competing species may show positive correlations in abundance through time and space if
they rely on a shared resource. Such positive correlations might obscure resource …

General microbial patterns of biogeography can be established based on sedimentary DNA
(sedDNA) retrieved from diverse inland aquatic ecosystems, provided that certain variable …

Freshwater lakes account for 6–16% of natural emissions of the greenhouse gas methane
(CH4) to the atmosphere (Bastviken et al., 2004). Most of this methane is biologically …

The nitrogen (N) cycle is of global importance as N is an essential element and limiting
nutrient in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. On a global scale, N is transported from …
