We assessed how the viability and diversity of the zooplankton resting-stage bank can be
affected by predictable and unpredictable hydroperiods using permanent and temporary …

Emerging evidence suggests that zooplankton production is affected by physiological and
nutritional constraints due to climate change and eutrophication, which in turn could have …

Lake Tzibaná is one of the largest (1.27 km2) and deepest (Zmax= 52 m) karstic lakes in the
UNESCO's Biosphere Reserve “Nahá-Metzabok” and in the Lacandon Forest, southeastern …

Abstract Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) quickly respond to changes in environmental
conditions and their remains are usually found in large amounts in lacustrine sediments …

Rapid degradation of freshwater ecosystems threatens water supply for human populations
and natural landscapes. At diverse time scales, this process has been clearly associated …

Abstract Subfossil Cladocera (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) represent one of the most valuable
biological proxies preserved in lake sediments that can be studied for reconstruction …

We provide a photographic guide and taxonomic diagnosis of Chironomidae larval remains
obtained from surface sediments and short cores of 92 waterbodies situated on the Yucatan …

The chironomid diversity of Central America is virtually underestimated and there is almost
no knowledge on the chironomid remains accumulated in surface sediments of lakes. Thus …

Here we report the occurrence of Heterotrissocladius (Diptera: Chironomidae:
Orthocladiinae) for the first time in Central America, as well as in the Neotropical region. The …

The last three millennia have been characterized by global temperature oscillations of
around one Celsius degree, and high frequency variability on precipitation. Two main …
