I laghi profondi sudalpini costituiscono una risorsa di grande significato ambientale ed
economico. Il loro volume complessivo supera l’80% del totale dei laghi italiani e la collocazione, …

In this first worldwide synthesis of in situ and satellite‐derived lake data, we find that lake
summer surface water temperatures rose rapidly (global mean = 0.34C decade −1 ) between …

Phylogenetic classifications of plants often do not reflect their ecological functions. In fact, the
functional mechanisms of biological communities may be better understood if species are …

Lake surfaces are warming worldwide, raising concerns about lake organism responses to
thermal habitat changes. Species may cope with temperature increases by shifting their …

Large lakes of the world are habitats for diverse species, including endemic taxa, and are
valuable resources that provide humanity with many ecosystem services. They are also …

Ecologists often group organisms based on similar biological traits or on taxonomic criteria.
However, the use of taxonomy in ecology has many drawbacks because taxa may include …

Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally 1 . However, a
lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution …

Global environmental change has influenced lake surface temperatures, a key driver of
ecosystem structure and function. Recent studies have suggested significant warming of water …

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 …

Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of
cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on …
