- Inter-Period and Inter-Season Variability of Zooplankton of a Mountain Lake With an Emphasis on Under-Ice Communities
A paper by Obertegger U., Corradini S., and Cerasino L. published on Freshwater Biology ABSTRACT Only recently the under-ice period is recognised as a time of plankton activity. However, most studies on under-ice zooplankton focus on low-land lakes over relatively short temporal scales; long-term under-ice zooplankton dynamics in mountain lakes remain largely unknown. We compared… Read more: Inter-Period and Inter-Season Variability of Zooplankton of a Mountain Lake With an Emphasis on Under-Ice Communities - Disentangling the effects of climate change in a mountain lake throughcommunity structure analysis
A paper by Bertoletti et al. published on Limnology and Oceanography. ABSTRACT Pressures of climate change may trigger regime shifts in ecosystems. Identifying signs of these pressures before the critical transition remains challenging, and it could be useful to anticipate the regime shift. In this research, while exploiting the case of a lacustrine ecosystem, which… Read more: Disentangling the effects of climate change in a mountain lake throughcommunity structure analysis - Human contributions to global soundscapes are less predictable than the acoustic rhythms of wildlife
A new paper published on Nature Ecology & Evolution investigates the soundscape (the structure of the acoustic environment). Two LTER-Italy research sites are part of the study: Lago Maggiore and Foce Trigno-Marina di Petacciato. cross the world, human (anthropophonic) sounds add to sounds of biological (biophonic) and geophysical (geophonic) origin, with human contributions including both… Read more: Human contributions to global soundscapes are less predictable than the acoustic rhythms of wildlife - Metrosea 2024 Special Session: call for abstracts
