The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (= cyanoHABs) are an increasing feature of many
waterbodies throughout the world. Many bloom-forming species produce toxins, making …

Ecological communities change in time and space, but long-term dynamics at the century-to-
millennia scale are poorly documented due to lack of relevant data sets. Nevertheless …

Human impacts on biodiversity are well recognized, but uncertainties remain regarding
patterns of diversity change at different spatial and temporal scales. Changes in microbial …

Accurately identifying the species present in an ecosystem is vital to lake managers and
successful bioassessment programs. This is particularly important when monitoring …

DNA can be preserved in marine and freshwater sediments both in bulk sediment and in
intact, viable resting stages. Here, we assess the potential for combined use of ancient …

The emergence of DNA analyses of lake sediments has opened up many new areas of
inquiry, including the study of taxa that were traditionally not considered in paleolimnology …

In‐depth knowledge about spatial and temporal variation in microbial diversity and function
is needed for a better understanding of ecological and evolutionary responses to global …

We investigated microbial methane oxidation in the water column of two connected but
hydrodynamically contrasting basins of Lake Lugano, Switzerland. Both basins accumulate …

Cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater systems are a global threat to human and aquatic
ecosystem health, exhibiting particularly harmful effects when toxin-producing taxa are …
