Our planet is being subjected to unprecedented climate change, with far-reaching social and
ecological repercussions. Below the waterline, aquatic ecosystems are being affected by …

This review is focused on the questions of why fish exhibit heat failure at thermal extremes
and which physiological mechanisms determine the acute upper thermal tolerance. We …

Lake ecosystems, and the organisms that live within them, are vulnerable to temperature
change,,,–, including the increased occurrence of thermal extremes. However, very little is …

One of the most important physical characteristics driving lifecycle events in lakes is
stratification. Already subtle variations in the timing of stratification onset and break-up …

The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme thermal events are increasing and are
projected to further increase by the end of the century,. Despite the considerable …

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

Oxygen depletion constitutes a major threat to lake ecosystems and the services they
provide. Most of the world's lakes are located> 45° N, where accelerated climate warming …

Climate change could seriously threaten global lake ecosystems by warming lake surface
water and increasing the occurrence of lake heatwaves. Yet, there are great uncertainties in …

How lake temperatures across large geographic regions are responding to widespread
alterations in ice phenology (ie, the timing of seasonal ice formation and loss) remains …

Lake surface temperatures are projected to increase under climate change, which could
trigger shifts in the future distribution of thermally sensitive aquatic species. Of particular …
