Patterns in benthic biodiversity link lake trophic status to structure and potential function of three large, deep lakes.
Relative to their scarcity, large, deep lakes support a large proportion of the world's freshwater species. This biodiversity is threatened by human development and is in need of conservation. Direct comparison of biodiversity is the basis of biological monitoring for conservation but is diffic...
