Current rates of climate change are unprecedented, and biological responses to these
changes have also been rapid at the levels of ecosystems, communities, and species. Most …

This review compiles and evaluates existing scientific information on the use, limitations,
and procedural considerations for EROD activity (a catalytic measurement of cytochrome …

Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) is a multivariate method to elucidate the
relationships between biological assemblages of species and their environment. The …

The Holocene provides students, researchers and lay-readers with the remarkable story of
how the natural world has been transformed since the end of the last Ice Age around 15,000 …

Lakes systems respond physically, chemically and biologically to changes in climate and
these responses are registered in many various ways in lake sediment records. This paper …

Diatom, chrysophyte cyst, benthic cladocera, planktonic cladocera, and chironomid
assemblages were studied in the surface sediments of 68 small lakes along an altitudinal …

Quantifying past continental temperature changes is an important aspect of paleoclimate
research as it allows us to constrain the amplitude of natural variability, test predictive …

Among insects, the chitinous larval remains of the order Diptera (true flies) are most
abundant in lake sediments, and thus have proven to be especially useful in palaeoenviron …

In pal\sgmaelig; olimnological studies, inference models based on aquatic organisms are
frequently used to estimate summer lake surface water temperatures. However, the …

Non-biting midges (Insecta: Diptera: Chironomidae) are now widely recognised as powerful
biological proxies for inferring past climatic change. In this paper the response of chironomid …
