Can space-for-time-substitution surveys represent zooplankton biodiversity patt...
Stockwell, Jason; Ivanick, Lia; Chiapella, Ariana; Vichi, Cecilia; Grossart, Hans-Peter; Zagarese, Horacio; Diovisalvi, Nadia; Odriozola, MarianaSpace-for-Time-Substitution surveys (SFTS) are commonly used to describe zooplankton community dynamics and to determine lake ecosystem health. SFTS surveys typically combine single point observations from many lakes to evaluate the response of zooplankton community structure and dynamics (e.g., species abundance and biomass, diversity, demographics and modeled rate processes) to spatial gradients in hypothesiz...
Stratification strength and light climate explain variation in chlorophyll a at...
Donis, Daphne; Mantzouki, Evanthia; McGinnis, Daniel F.; Vachon, Dominic; Gallego, Irene; Grossart, Hans-Peter; Senerpont Domis, Lisette N.To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the European continent. Multilinear regression models tested on this snapshot of mostly eutrophic lakes (median total phosphorus [TP] = 0.06 and total nitrogen [TN] = 0.7 mg L-1), and its subsets (2 depth types a...
The effects of hypoxia on zooplankton population estimates and migration in lakes
Goldfarb, Sadye K.; Doubek, Jonathan; Geraldes, Ana Maria; Bartrons, Mireia; Berger, Stella; Brentrup, Jannifer; Brucet, Sandra; Burnet, SarahMany zooplankton species typically exhibit diel vertical migration (DVM), where zooplankton migrate from the hypolimnion to the epilimnion of lakes at night. Zooplankton exhibit this behavior to avoid visual predators and UV radiation by remaining in the bottom waters during the day and ascending to the surface waters to feed on phytoplankton at night. However, hypoxic conditions in the hypolimnion of lakes may...
Data descriptor: a European multi lake urvey dataset of environmental variables...
Mantzouki, Evanthia; Campbell, James; Loon, Emiel van; Visser, Petra; Konstantinou, Iosif; Antoniou, Maria G.; Giuliani, GrégoryUnder ongoing climate change and increasing anthropogenic activity, which continuously challenge ecosystem resilience, an in-depth understanding of ecological processes is urgently needed. Lakes, as providers of numerous ecosystem services, face multiple stressors that threaten their functioning. Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent problem resulting from nutrient pollution and climate-change induced ...
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial to...
Mantzouki, Evanthia; Lürling, Miquel; Fastner, Jutta; Domis, Lisette N. de Senerpont; Wilk-Woźniak, Elżbieta; Koreivienė, Judita; Seelen, LauraInsight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individ...
