In this article, we review the current knowledge of the glacial recession and related glacial
lake development in the Andes of South America. Since the mid-1980s, hundreds of glacial …

The role of grazing as a controlling factor of phytoplankton has an extensive debate in the
literature. In this article, five mechanisms that have been explored as potential controlling …

Glaciers around the globe are melting rapidly, threatening the receiving environments of the
world's fresh water reservoirs with significant changes. The meltwater, carried by rivers …

Receding glaciers are among the most obvious changes caused by global warming, and
glacial meltwater entering lakes generally forms plumes of particles. By taking vertical …

In freshwater systems, many abiotic and biotic factors determine the natural fluctuation of
Daphnia spec. populations: climatic and water quality parameters, quantitative and …

The Andes is the world's longest mountain system (8,500 km) and harbour important
headwater systems, constituting crucial water resources for South America. Their complex …

Volcanic eruptions are a widespread force of geological and ecological disturbance and
present recurrent opportunities for the study of biological responses to novel habitat …

Abstract The North-Patagonian Andean lakes of Argentina are high light, low nutrient
environments that exhibit development of deep chlorophyll maxima (DCM) at the …

We experimentally tested the effect of food quality (phosphorus [P]: carbon [C] ratio) on the
response of antioxidant enzymes to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in Daphnia commutata fed …

North Andean Patagonian aquatic systems include a number of deep and shallow
oligotrophic lakes with a profuse hydrographic net. In this contribution we present a review of …
