Phytoplankton are at the base of aquatic food webs and of global importance for ecosystem
functioning and services. The dynamics of these photosynthetic cells are linked to annual …

Fresh waters are particularly vulnerable to climate change because (i) many species within
these fragmented habitats have limited abilities to disperse as the environment changes;(ii) …

While there is a general sense that lakes can act as sentinels of climate change, their
efficacy has not been thoroughly analyzed. We identified the key response variables within a …

Trait-based approaches are increasingly used in ecology. Phytoplankton communities, with
a rich history as model systems in community ecology, are ideally suited for applying and …

Accumulating evidence suggests that the average body size of many organisms is declining
in response to climate warming. This phenomenon has been suggested to represent a …

Marine plankton are faced with novel challenges associated with environmental changes
such as ocean acidification, warming, and eutrophication. However, data on the effects of …

Warming-induced changes in lake thermal and mixing regimes present risks to water quality
and ecosystem services provided by US lakes and reservoirs. Modulation of responses by …

The number of combinations of anthropogenic stressors affecting global change is
increasing; however, few studies have empirically tested for their interactive effects on …

Although the consequences of global warming in aquatic ecosystems are only beginning to
be revealed, a key to forecasting the impact on aquatic communities is an understanding of …

Warming has pronounced effects on lake ecosystems, either directly by increased
temperatures or indirectly by a change in salinity. We investigated the current status of …
