Most animals have complex life cycles including metamorphosis or other discrete life stage
transitions, during which individuals may be particularly vulnerable to environmental …

The impacts of global warming on aquatic ecosystems are expected to be most pronounced
at higher trophic levels in coldwater environments. Therefore, we hypothesized that warming …

In recent decades, three important events have likely played a role in changing the water
temperature and clarity of the Laurentian Great Lakes: 1) warmer climate, 2) reduced …

We experimentally warmed a series of shallow enclosures by 4.5° C and measured
responses of the epilithon (biofilm on rocky surfaces) and invertebrates. Maximum rates of …

The effect of lake geometry on wind‐induced upwelling, in a two‐layer stratified lake with a
variable bottom slope and generic planar shape is investigated.(1) The traditional linearized …

Lake Tanganyika, the deepest and most voluminous lake in Africa, has warmed over the last
century in response to climate change. Separate analyses of surface warming rates …

The distribution of phytoplankton in lakes is notoriously patchy and dynamic, but wind-driven
currents and algal buoyancy/motility are thought to determine where algae accumulate. In …

Global warming increasingly pressures species to show adaptive migratory responses. We
hypothesized that warming increases invasion of alpine lakes by low‐elevation montane …

Reservoir creation and management can enhance many ecological services provided by
freshwater ecosystems, but may alter the natural conditions to which aquatic biota have …

We used (1) water temperature (a proxy for water movement),(2) chlorophyll (a proxy for
phytoplankton), and (3) zooplankton (bulk, small, and large size classes) to investigate the …
