Lake surface cooling drives littoral-pelagic exchange of dissolved gases
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Tomy Doda, Cintia Luz Ramon Casanas
The extent of littoral influence on lake gas dynamics remains debated in the aquatic science community due to the lack of direct quantification of lateral gas transport. The prevalent assumption of diffusive horizontal transport in gas budgets fails to exp ...
Amer Assoc Advancement Science2024Dangerous acquaintances: the interplay between type IV pili and the type VI secretion system during Vibrio cholerae's environmental lifestyle
Cholera, caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, has affected humanity throughout history and still impacts millions of people every year. Apart from being a human pathogen, V. cholerae is a common member of the aquatic environment. Due to this natural re ...
EPFL2024Detritus-hosted methanogenesis sustains the methane paradox in an alpine lake
Damien Bouffard, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner
Accumulation of methane in oxic waters of lakes and the ocean has been widely reported. Despite the importance for the greenhouse gas budget, mechanistic controls of such "methane paradox" remain elusive. Here, we use a combination of CH4 concentration and ...
WILEY2022Viral Transfer and Inactivation through Zooplankton Trophic Interactions
Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Margot Ninon Lauren Olive
Waterborne viruses are responsible for numerous diseases and are abundant in aquatic systems. Understanding the fate of viruses in natural systems has important implications for human health. This research quantifies the uptake of bacteriophage T4 and the ...
2020Quantifying Preferences and Responsiveness of Marine Zooplankton to Changing Environmental Conditions using Microfluidics
Global environmental change significantly affects marine species composition. However, analyzing the impact of these changes on marine zooplankton communities was so far mostly limited to assessing lethal doses through mortality assays and hence did not al ...
2015Optimizing a remotely sensed proxy for plankton biomass in Lake Kivu
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Allyn Christine Knox
Many regions of the world, including inland lakes, present with suboptimal conditions for the remotely sensed retrieval of optical signals, thus challenging the limits of available satellite data-processing tools, such as atmospheric correction models (ACM ...
Taylor & Francis2014Effects of oligotrophication on primary production in peri-alpine lakes
During the second half of the 20th century untreated sewage released from housing and industry into natural waters led to a degradation of many freshwater lakes and reservoirs worldwide. In order to mitigate eutrophication, wastewater treatment plants, inc ...
American Geophysical Union2013Hydroclimatology of dual-peak annual cholera incidence: Insights from a spatially explicit model
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto
Cholera incidence in some regions of the Indian subcontinent may exhibit two annual peaks although the main environmental drivers that have been linked to the disease (e.g., sea surface temperature, zooplankton abundance, river discharge) peak once per yea ...
2012Influence of diatoms on copepod reproduction. I. Field and laboratory observations related to Calanus helgolandicus egg production
ABSTRACT: Egg production rates (EPR) by Calanus helgolandicus females were investigated with specimens sampled weekly, from April to November 2003 and from March to October 2004, at a station located in the English Channel off Roscoff. Comparison of result ...
