Exploring the capability of organisms to cope with human-caused environmental change is
crucial for assessing the risk of extinction and biodiversity loss. We study the consequences …

Daphniids act as keystone species in lake ecosystems by controlling phytoplankton biomass
and experiencing intense fish predation. However, the importance of single daphniid …

The human-caused proliferation of cyanobacteria severely impacts consumers in freshwater
ecosystems. Toxicity is often singled out as the sole trait to which consumers can adapt …

Hatching resting stages of ecologically important organisms such as Daphnia from lake
sediments, referred to as resurrection ecology, is a powerful approach to assess changes in …

We studied the effects of varying levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and nitrogen and
phosphorus mixture (NP) enrichment on the hatching of resting eggs to determine whether …

Resilience, the capacity for a system to bounce-back after a perturbation, is critical for
conservation and restoration efforts. Different functional traits have differential effects on …

Lake ecosystems perform essential environmental services for humans and other
organisms. They provide drinking water, habitat for aquatic animals and plants, recycle …

Small-bodied species are particularly interesting for ecological and evolutionary research as
they have the potential to rapidly adapt to environmental change due to higher levels of …

6-Deoxy-6-sulfoglucose (sulfoquinovose, SQ) is the polar headgroup of the plant sulfolipids
sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerols (SQDG)(Benson 1963). These lipids are constituents of …

Lake ecosystems are an essential part of our environment, inhabiting a large variety of living
things. Lakes provide several advantages for human society, and their strategic importance …
