Proceedings of the Vth International Symposium on Inland Saline Lakes, held in Bolivia - 22--29 March, 1993

The limnological study of Toolik Lake began in the Summer of 1975. Initial research on Toolik Lake and the surrounding lakes and ponds focused on process studies such as annual primary productivity of the lake or the vertical migration patterns of the resident zooplankton.

Proceedings of the 40 Year Jubilee Symposium of the Finnish Limnological Society, held in Helsinki, Finland 6-10 August 1990.

This book contains a collection of papers dealing with various aspects of the biology and aquaculture of the large branchiopod crustacea; the Anostraca, Conchostraca, and Notostraca. Included are many of the papers presented at the Second International Large Branchiopod Symposium convened in Ulm, Germany, 30 July--3 August 1993. Additional manuscripts contributed by colleagues who were unable to attend are also included. A special feature of this volume is a checklist of the Anostraca, including information on distribution, location of type material, taxonomic problems, and literature references.

Proceedings of the International Workshop on Gelidium held in Santander, Spain, September 3-8, 1991

Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Seaweed Symposium held Cebu City, Philippines, in April 1998

Proceedings of the VIIIth International Rotifer Symposium held in Collegeville, MN, USA, June 22-27, 1997

Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Littorinid Biology, held in Cork 7-13 September 1996

The first four sections of the book (Nutrient fluxes, Biotic structure, Trophic interactions and Whole lake studies) deal with theoretical aspects of lake functioning while the fifth (Biomanipulation, restoration and management) is devoted to practical measures undertaken to improve water quality in shallow lakes.

Shallow lakes are important for their amenity value and the ecosystem services that they support. This book examines 40 years of data from Loch Leven, a shallow lake in the lowlands of Scotland, UK, to gain a better understanding of the links between pollution, climate change and ecological response at the landscape scale.

Jellyfish generally are considered to be nuisances because they interfere with human activities by stinging swimmers, clogging power plant intakes and nets of fishermen, killing fish in aquaculture pens, and being both predators and competitors of fish.

Phytoplankton responses to human impact at different scales provides a state-of-the-art review of changes in the phytoplankton assemblages determined by human alterations of lakes and rivers.

Proceedings of the 17th BMB Symposium, 25-29 November 2001, Stockholm, Sweden

Freshwater Biodiversity is a much underestimated component of global biodiversity, both in its diversity and in its potential to act as models for fundamental research in evolutionary biology and ecosystem studies.

Large lakes are important because of their size and ecological distinctiveness as well as their economic and cultural value.

Most of the diadromous fish of the world have decreased in distribution and abundance since the beginning of the twentieth century. The causes of these trends vary among species and basins but regional human impact (damming, pollution, fisheries) and global change (climate) are suspected to be responsible for these difficulties.

This volume deals with many aspects of the physical and chemical limnology of the Salton Sea, California's largest lake and a lake that may soon to be the object of a multi-billion dollar restoration project.

Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Cladocera, Tatranska Lomnica, Czechoslovakia, September 13-20, 1989

Proceedings of the Workshop on Biogeography of Freshwater Algae, held during the Fifth International Phycological Congress, Qingdao, China, July 1994

Proceedings of the 31st European Marine Biology Symposium, held in St. Petersburg, Russia 9-13 September 1996

Proceedings of the International PELAG Symposium, August 26-30, 1996 in Helsinki, Finland

Proceedings of the 10th Workshop of the International Association of Phytoplankton Taxonomy and Ecology (IAP), held in Granada, Spain, 21-29 June 1996

This volume combines articles on shallow lakes from leading European scientists in limnology. The volume provides a comprehensive overview of the ecology of shallow lakes, a lake type which differs in prominent ways from deeper lakes.

Proceedings of the Joint BMB 15 and ESCA 27 Symposium (June 9-13, 1997, Aland Islands, Finland)

This work presents the state of the art of aquatic and semi-aquatic ecological restoration projects in The Netherlands. Starting from the conceptual basis of restoration ecology, the successes and failures of hundreds of restoration projects are described.

In this age of increased fundamental and applied research on biodiversity, no single volume was as yet devoted to the various temporal and spatial aspects of aquatic biodiversity.

The collection presents the diversity of approaches that have been used, and provides future directions for the study of `molecular ecology' of aquatic communities, from viruses to fish, and in aquatic systems ranging from freshwater streams and lakes to estuaries and oceans.
