Glacier retreat shapes organic nutrient availability across lake succession

Glacier retreat is rapidly transforming landscapes, creating thousands of new lakes that act as natural laboratories of ecological succession. In these newly formed ecosystems, colonizing animals must meet their requirements for essential organic nutrients, such as long-chain pol...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited d...
