In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in
frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that …

Bloom-forming cyanobacteria Planktothrix agardhii and P. rubescens are regularly involved
in the occurrence of cyanotoxin in lakes and reservoirs. Besides microcystins (MCs), which …

Autonomous mobile robots are increasingly employed to take measurements for
environmental monitoring, but planning informative, measurement‐rich paths through large …

Robotic sensors are promising instruments for monitoring spatial phenomena. Oftentimes,
rather than aiming to achieve low prediction error everywhere, one is interested in …

The annually recurrent spring phytoplankton blooms in freshwater lakes initiate pronounced
successions of planktonic ciliate species. Although there is considerable knowledge on the …

Lakes can be monitored using different bioindicators, among which phytoplankton and
benthic diatoms. We compared these two indicators in Lake Geneva for nutrient assessment …

The distribution of phytoplankton in lakes is notoriously patchy and dynamic, but wind-driven
currents and algal buoyancy/motility are thought to determine where algae accumulate. In …

Parasitic chytrid fungi (phylum Chytridiomycota) are known to infect specific phytoplankton,
including the filamentous cyanobacterium Planktothrix. Subspecies, or chemotypes of …

Cyanobacterial blooms are a concern in oligotrophic lakes because these systems are often
used for multiple purposes (ie, recreation and public water supplies). Monitoring …

The most prominent responses of Lake Zurich to climate warming include the increase of
surface water temperatures, a reduced depth of spring mixing, and the persistent thriving of …
