Disentangling uncertainties from niche modeling in freshwater ecosystems
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecological Modelling"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2018.10.024
Abstract: Abstract Predictions by ecological niche models (ENM) are affected by several sources of uncertainty including the modeling methods and type of variables employed. The predictive uncertainty has been often assessed in terrestrial ecosystems, but it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gb007580
Abstract: Freshwater ecosystems reflect the landscapes in which they are embedded. The biogeochemistry of these systems is fundamentally linked to climate and watershed processes that control fluxes of water and the mobilization of energy and nutrients… read more here.

Giant gar from directly above the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary suggests healthy freshwater ecosystems existed within thousands of years of the asteroid impact
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0118
Abstract: The Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) mass extinction was responsible for the destruction of global ecosystems and loss of approximately three-quarters of species diversity 66 million years ago. Large-bodied land vertebrates suffered high extinction rates, whereas small-bodied vertebrates… read more here.

Small freshwater ecosystems with dissimilar microbial communities exhibit similar temporal patterns
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.15864
Abstract: Despite small freshwater ecosystems being biodiversity reservoirs and contributing significantly to greenhouse fluxes, their microbial communities remain largely understudied. Yet, microorganisms intervene in biogeochemical cycling and impact water quality. Because of their small size, these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/er-2017-0024
Abstract: Abstract Recreational activities on, in and along freshwaters (e.g., boating, bathing, angling) positively contribute to human well-being, but can concurrently stress aquatic ecosystems. While outdoor recreation, aquatic ecosystems and human well-being form coupled social-ecological systems,… read more here.
