TL;DR: A review and update of the growing body of research that shows that sediments in remote mountain lakes archive regional and global environmental changes, including those linked to climate change, altered biogeochemical cycles, and changes in dust composition and deposition, atmospheric fertilization, and biological manipulations can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: The authors found that moderate warming can destabilize plankton dynamics, thereby potentially reducing the reliability of water quality and food resources for higher trophic levels (e.g., planktivorous fish) in shallow coldwater ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide the first systematic prioritization for freshwaters (focusing on the highly threatened and globally distinct fish fauna of the Lower Colorado River Basin, USA) simultaneously considering scenarios of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity.

TL;DR: For example, Lockwood et al. as mentioned in this paper synthesize information across taxa and research disciplines to document the exotic pet trade's contribution to vertebrate biological invasions, and show recent and substantial worldwide growth in the number of non-native animal populations introduced via this invasion pathway, which demonstrates a strong potential to increase the numbers of invasive animals in the future.

TL;DR: The aquarium trade moves thousands of species around the globe, and unwanted organisms may be released into freshwaters, with adverse ecological and economic effects as mentioned in this paper, and the number of fish and plants currently in the aquarium trade is vast.
