Impact of the historical introduction of exotic fishes on the chironomid community of Lake Azul (Azores Islands)
(Elsevier, 2017)
Little is known about the effect of top predator introduction in historically fishless communities, especially
on remote islands. This issue is important because it might strongly affect climate reconstructions derived
from ...
Diatom-inferred ecological responses of an oceanic lake system to volcanism and anthropogenic perturbations since 1290 CE
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)
[Abstract] The impacts of natural- and human-induced processes on lake ecosystems in remote oceanic islands remain to be fully elucidated. These lakes are excellent candidates to analyze the importance of anthropogenic ...
Biogeography and lake morphometry drive diatom and chironomid assemblages’ composition in lacustrine surface sediments of oceanic islands
(Springer, 2014)
[Abstract] Subfossil biotic assemblages in lakes’ surface sediments have been used to infer ecological conditions across environmental gradients. Local variables are usually the major drivers of assemblage composition, but ...
Plastic Debris in Lakes and Reservoirs
(Springer Nature, 2023)
[Abstract] Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present ...
The Vanishing and the Establishment of a New Ecosystem on an Oceanic Island: Anthropogenic Impacts With No Return Ticket
(Elsevier, 2022-03-31)
[Abstract] A multiproxy approach was applied to a sediment core retrieved from the deep crater Lake Funda, located in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean on Flores Island, Azores archipelago (Portugal). The purpose of ...
Climate Change Facilitated the Early Colonization of the Azores Archipelago During Medieval Times
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021-08-27)
[Abstract] Humans have made such dramatic and permanent changes to Earth's landscapes that much of it is now substantially and irreversibly altered from its preanthropogenic state. Remote islands, until recently isolated ...
Long-Term Hydroclimate Variability in the Sub-Tropical North Atlantic and Anthropogenic Impacts on Lake Ecosystems: A Case Study From Flores Island, the Azores
(Elsevier, 2022-06-01)
[Abstract] Human land use and climate change threaten ecosystems and natural resources, particularly on remote islands such as the Azores Archipelago in the North Atlantic. Since the official Portuguese settlement of the ...
Recent Global Warming Induces the Coupling of Dissimilar Long-Term Sedimentary Signatures in Two Adjacent Volcanic Lakes (Azores Archipelago, Portugal)
(Elsevier, 2023-01-30)
[Abstract] Paleoclimatological information derived from the study of lacustrine sedimentary records is not only biased by taphonomical processes but also by potential differences in the expression of climate variability ...
