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 …

Water fleas of the genus Daphnia have been a model system for hundreds of years and is
among the best studied ecological model organisms to date. Daphnia are planktonic …

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 …

Analyses of sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) have increased exponentially over the last decade
and hold great potential to study the effects of anthropogenic stressors on lake biota over …

To evaluate the stability and resilience 1 of coastal ecosystem communities to perturbations
that occurred during the Anthropocene, 2 pre-industrial biodiversity baselines inferred from …

During the 20th century, many lakes in the Northern Hemisphere were affected by
increasing human population and urbanization along their shorelines and catchment …

Freshwaters worldwide are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities and
changing climate. Unfortunately, many inland waters lack sufficient long-term monitoring to …

The analysis of sediment DNA has emerged as a promising alternative to classical
paleolimnological proxies, which typically rely on hard fossils to reconstruct environmental …

The field of paleolimnology has made tremendous progress in reconstructing past biotic and
abiotic environmental conditions of aquatic ecosystems based on sediment records. This …

Copepods play a key trophic role as secondary producers, transferring primary production to
higher trophic levels such as fish. Copepod production contributes significantly to successful …
