McMurdo Dry Valley lake edge ‘moats’: the ecological intersection between terrestrial and aquatic polar desert habitats Open
Aquatic ecosystems - lakes, ponds and streams - are hotspots of biodiversity in the cold and arid environment of Continental Antarctica. Environmental change is expected to increasingly alter Antarctic aquatic ecosystems and modify the phy…

Oxic methane production from methylphosphonate in a large oligotrophic lake: limitation by substrate and organic carbon supply Open
While methane is typically produced under anoxic conditions, methane supersaturation in the presence of oxygen has been observed in both marine and fresh waters. The biological cleavage of methylphosphonate (MPn), which releases both phosp…

Tribal Perspectives on Preventing the Introduction of Zebra Mussels into Flathead Lake, Montana Open
Dreissenid mussels are known to alter ecological processes and thus the provision of ecosystem services. Few studies exist linking changes in ecosystem services from aquatic invasive species (AIS) to changes in human welfare. Preventing AI…

Sustained stoichiometric imbalance and its ecological consequences in a large oligotrophic lake Open
Considerable attention is given to absolute nutrient levels in lakes, rivers, and oceans, but less is paid to their relative concentrations, their nitrogen:phosphorus (N:P) stoichiometry, and the consequences of imbalanced stoichiometry. H…

Species invasion progressively disrupts the trophic structure of native food webs Open
Significance Invasive species are a leading cause of biodiversity loss, yet the mechanisms by which invaders progressively disrupt ecosystems and native species remain unclear. Using an extensive isotope dataset across multiple ecosystems …

The magnitude and climate sensitivity of isotopic fractionation from ablation of Antarctic Dry Valley lakes Open
There has been extensive research on the effects of evaporation on the isotopic ratio of lacustrine and marine water bodies; however, there are limited data on how ablation or sublimation from lake or sea ice influences the isotopic ratio …

Big Questions, Few Answers About What Happens Under Lake Ice Open
Scientists long eschewed studying lakes in winter, expecting that cold temperatures and ice cover limited activity below the surface. Recent findings to the contrary are changing limnologists’ views.

Challenges in Columbia River fisheries conservation: a response to Duda <i>et al</i>. Open
The salmonid fisheries of the Columbia River Basin (CRB) have enormous socioeconomic, cultural, and ecological importance to numerous diverse stakeholders (eg state, federal, tribal, nonprofit), and there are a wide array of opinions and p…

A social–ecological perspective for riverscape management in the Columbia River Basin Open
Riverscapes are complex, landscape‐scale mosaics of connected river and stream habitats embedded in diverse ecological and socioeconomic settings. Social–ecological interactions among stakeholders often complicate natural‐resource conserva…

Influence of littoral periphyton on whole‐lake metabolism relates to littoral vegetation in humic lakes Open
The role of littoral habitats in lake metabolism has been underrated, especially in humic lakes, based on an assumption of low benthic primary production ( PP ) due to low light penetration into water. This assumption has been challenged b…

Periphyton support for littoral secondary production in a highly humic boreal lake Open
Steep stratification and poor light penetration in highly humic lakes typically restrict oxygenated littoral areas to narrow lake margins. However, in some instances, surrounding floating vegetation mats can sustain highly productive perip…

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Invasive Freshwater Shrimp (Mysis diluviana): Long-Term Effects on Ecosystem Properties in a Large Oligotrophic Lake Open
Invasion of Mysis diluviana from upstream stockings drastically altered the food web of 480 km2 Flathead Lake, Montana (USA). Mysis increased exponentially after establishment in 1982, preying upon large zooplankters, thereby substantially…

Accounting for littoral primary production by periphyton shifts a highly humic boreal lake towards net autotrophy Open
The prevailing view that many humic lakes are net heterotrophic is commonly based on pelagic measurements alone. Poor light conditions in humic lakes are assumed to constrain littoral primary production (PP), such that the littoral zone ha…

Littoral‐benthic primary production estimates: Sensitivity to simplifications with respect to periphyton productivity and basin morphometry Open
Periphyton is a critical energy source for consumers in lakes of all sizes, but estimates of average, area‐specific littoral zone benthic primary production (LBP) have been hampered by low spatial and temporal resolution of productivity da…

Bacterial community response to changes in a tri‐trophic cascade during a whole‐lake fish manipulation Open
Microbial communities play a key role in biogeochemical processes by degrading organic material and recycling nutrients, but can also be important food sources for upper trophic levels. Trophic cascades might modify microbial communities e…
