Temporal succession of bacterial and archaeal communities in a Mediterranean high-mountain lake over the last 430 years using sedimentary DNA - Microbial Ecology Despite the known influence of climate change on high-altitude ecosystems, the long-term response of prokaryotic communities in Mediterranean high-mountain lakes remains poorly understood. Here, we…

Fotografía grupal de parte de PaleoIPE en el Balneario de Ariño, donde celebramos el premio MArgarita Salas a Blas Valero. Hay unas 25 personas sentadas y de pie en tres filas sobre un césped verde. El grupo parece feliz y relajado, con varias personas sonriendo a la cámara. Al fondo, hay edificios modernos de estructura metálica y una pared clara, junto con un cielo azul con algunas nubes. La imagen transmite un ambiente soleado y amistoso.

Fotografía grupal de 15 personas sobre una plataforma flotante de sondeo científico en el ibón de Plan o Basa de la Mora, un lago de alta montaña rodeado de bosques de pinos (Pinus uncinata) y picos rocosos con nieve. El grupo lleva camisetas amarillas o rojas con logotipos científicos (algunas con “CSIC”) y posa sonriente frente al agua verde y serena del lago. Al fondo, se alzan las montañas del Pirineo aragonés, en concreto el circo de Armeña en el macizo de Cotiella. Imagen capturada por Miguel Nadal (Delegación del CSIC en Aragón)
