Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity as a determinant of the structure of biological communities in salt lakes
TL;DR: It is suggested that salinity is less significant as a determinant of community structure in salt lakes than has been assumed.
Book ChapterDOI
Anthropogenic salinisation of inland waters
TL;DR: The causes and distribution of anthropogenic salinisation, the salinization of freshwater lakes, rivers and streams, and increases in the salinity of large, permanent saline lakes are discussed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity as a determinant of salt lake fauna: a question of scale
TL;DR: An appreciation of scale resolves the paradox that, despite these broad tolerances by most taxa, species richness and composition strongly reflect salinity over the entire salinity range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotic adaptations in temporary lentic waters, with special reference to those in semi-arid and arid regions
TL;DR: Despite the obvious ubiquity, ecological importance and limnological interest of temporary waters, most of the existing literature has little to say about them as discussed by the authors, except a few recent and otherwise comprehensive texts of North American or European provenance, make scant if any reference.
Book
Limnology in Australia
TL;DR: In this article, it was pointed out that the condition a water is in depends very much on the ecology of the waterbody in which it resides, which is not sufficient that there exists within easy reach of the end users a certain total volume of water.
