Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

The ice‐cover period in lakes is increasingly recognized for its distinct combination of
physical and biological phenomena and ecological relevance. Knowledge gaps exist where …

Colonization of new ecological niches has triggered large adaptive radiations. Although
some lineages have made use of such opportunities, not all do so. The factors causing this …

The ecological consequences of winter in freshwater systems are an understudied but
rapidly emerging research area. Here, we argue that winter periods of reduced temperature …

Global climate warming is causing the loss of freshwater ice around the Northern
Hemisphere. Although the timing and duration of ice covers are known to regulate …

Shortening winter ice-cover duration in lakes highlights an urgent need for research focused
on under-ice ecosystem dynamics and their contributions to whole-ecosystem processes …

Winter is an important season for many limnological processes, which can range from
biogeochemical transformations to ecological interactions. Interest in the structure and …

Studies of changes in fatty acids in response to environmental temperature changes have
been conducted in many species, particularly mammals. However, few studies have …

Lakes and ponds are dominant components of Arctic landscapes and provide food and
water for northern communities. In the Greiner Lake watershed, in Cambridge Bay (Nunavut …

Freshwater fish production depends on the production and use of polyunsaturated fatty
acids (n‐3 and n‐6 PUFA) from lower trophic levels. Here, we aimed to identify the main …
