Heterotrophic bacterioplankton are main consumers of dissolved organic matter (OM) in
aquatic ecosystems, including the sunlit upper layers of the ocean and freshwater bodies …

The current ecosystem paradigm in limnology is represented by the cold temperate,
stratifying lake and the single-channelled river. However, the variety of inland water …

Based on a selection of 230 papers published during the last 15 years in international
journals, the present work aims at evaluating the state of the art of limnological research in …

The role of spectral composition of solar radiation has seldom been considered as a critical
factor controlling the algae‐bacteria relationship. A coupled algae‐bacteria relationship …

Abstract The ultraviolet–B (UV–B) radiation is harmful to the aquatic organisms. The UV–B
protective properties of leaves and seeds of herb Achyranthes aspera were evaluated in …

Ultraviolet solar radiation (UVR) and atmospheric nutrient loads to pristine ecosystems are
global climate change phenomena that simultaneously affect aquatic organisms in ways not …

Alpine lakes are often highly transparent to ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths, which has led to
the suggestion that a deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) results in these systems from UV …

Long term analyses of the microbial loop, centred on the picoplankton dynamics, were
carried out over a five-year (1998 to 2002) period in Lake Alchichica (Puebla, Mexico), a …

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of UV radiation on
photosynthesis rate, in situ and in laboratory incubations, on size fractionated natural algal …

Stentor araucanus is a mixotrophic ciliate that, in Andean lakes, inhabits the upper
epilimnetic levels, which are commonly avoided by other planktonic organisms. This …
