Ancient lakes are among the best archivists of past environmental change, having
experienced more than one full glacial cycle, a wide range of climatic conditions, tectonic …

Lake surfaces are warming worldwide, raising concerns about lake organism responses to
thermal habitat changes. Species may cope with temperature increases by shifting their …

The possibility of a causal relationship between Earth history processes and hominin
evolution in Africa has been the subject of intensive paleoanthropological research for the …

A consistent dataset of lake surface water temperature, ice cover, water-leaving reflectance,
water level and extent is presented. The collection constitutes the Lakes Essential Climate …

Proteins persist longer in the fossil record than DNA, but the longevity, survival mechanisms
and substrates remain contested. Here, we demonstrate the role of mineral binding in …

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids from Bacteria
and Archaea that are ubiquitous in a range of natural archives and especially abundant in …

Climate change is rapidly warming aquatic ecosystems including lakes and reservoirs.
However, variability in lake characteristics can modulate how lakes respond to climate …

Warming climates are rapidly transforming lake ecosystems worldwide, but the breadth of
changes in tropical lakes is poorly documented. Sustainable management of freshwater …

Lake surface water temperature (LSWT) measurements from various sources illustrate that
lakes are warming in response to climate change. Most previous studies of geographical …

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are widespread but unique membrane-
spanning lipids of many Archaea and some Bacteria. However, their specific biological …
