    Intense touristic activities exceed climate change to shape aquatic communities in a mountain lake

    Mountain lakes are especially vulnerable to climate change, but are also increasingly exposed to local anthropogenic development through winter and summer tourism. In this study, we aimed to tease apart the in...

    Hydropower operations modulate sensitivity to meteorological forcing in a high altitude reservoir

    Through the artificial manipulation of hydrological residence time, hydropower operations on alpine lakes should not only alter their hydro-biogeochemical characteristics but also modulate the degree of sensit...

    Non-conservative patterns of dissolved organic matter degradation when and where lake water mixes

    In this study, we experimentally investigated the degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during lateral and vertical mixing of different water masses in a peri-alpine lake. River intrusions and vertical...

    Using stable isotope approach to quantify pond dam impacts on isotopic niches and assimilation of resources by invertebrates in temporary streams: a case study

    Fishponds built across streams can greatly affect their functioning, especially through loss of ecological continuity but also changes in water availability and trophic resources. Yet, their consequences on co...

    Large and deep perialpine lakes: a paleolimnological perspective for the advance of ecosystem science

    The present paper aims at reviewing general knowledge of large European perialpine lakes as provided by sediment studies, and at outlining the contribution, from several lines of evidence, of modern paleolimno...

    Changes in carbon sources fueling benthic secondary production over depth and time: coupling Chironomidae stable carbon isotopes to larval abundance

    Stable C isotope ratio (δ13C) values of chironomid remains (head capsules; HC) were used to infer changes in benthic C sources over the last 150 years for two French sub-Alpine lakes. The HCs were retrieved from...

    Are cyanobacterial blooms trophic dead ends?

    Cyanobacterial blooms induce significant costs that are expected to increase in the near future. Cyanobacterial resistance to zooplankton grazing is one factor thought to promote bloom events. Yet, numerous st...

    Effects of production, sedimentation and taphonomic processes on the composition and size structure of sedimenting cladoceran remains in a large deep subalpine lake: paleo-ecological implications

    Changes in the composition and size structure of cladoceran remains collected in sediment traps (ST) were compared at a monthly time-resolution to the changes in the cladoceran source communities in order to a...
