Scientific drilling projects in ancient lakes: Integrating geological and biological histories

Abstract: Sedimentary sequences in ancient or long-lived lakes can reach several thousands of meters in thickness and often provide an unrivalled perspective of the lake's regional climatic, environmental, and biological history. Over the last few years, deep-drilling projects in ancient lakes became increasingly multi- and interdisciplinary, as, among others, seismological, sedimentological, biogeochemical, climatic, environmental, paleontological, and evolutionary information can be obtained from sediment cores.

“…Ancient lakes serve a critical role as natural laboratories for research on speciation (Cristescu et al ), paleohistory (Fritz et al ; Lyons et al ; Wilke et al ), and limnology. While there have been decades of limnological research on individual ancient lakes such as Baikal, Victoria, Tanganyika, and the Aral Sea, comparative ecological studies of ancient lakes as a broader group are rare.…”

“…Thus, while many of the threats to these ecosystems are shared with younger ecosystems, the unique heritage of ancient lakes may be impossible to restore with remedial human action. Accompanying this history of evolution among biota has been a long‐term accumulation of information about regional and global paleohistory, stratum by stratum, in the sediments of ancient lakes (Wilke et al ). Together with human histories compiled by archaeologists, such ecological information could be used to piece together not only the relationship of lakes with climate, but also the relationship of lake resources with surrounding people (Capriles et al ).…”

“…It includes lithological description after core opening, measurement of the geophysical properties, and granulometric, geochemical, mineralogical, and rockmagnetic analyses. These analyses are carried out on whole core sections, on split core surfaces, and on discrete samples (see Wilke et al, 2016) and are described in detail in several individual publications (Matzinger et al, 2007;Wagner et al, 2008aWagner et al, , b, 2009Wagner et al, , 2012Belmecheri et al, 2009Belmecheri et al, , 2010Holtvoeth et al, 2010Holtvoeth et al, , 2016Leng et al, 2010;Lindhorst et al, 2010;Matter et al, 2010;Vogel et al, 2010a, b;Francke et al, 2016;Leicher et al, 2016). Dating of the sediment successions was mainly based on radiocarbon dating as well as tephrostratigraphic and tephrochronological work.…”

“…monophyletic groups of endemic species that evolved in a particular ecosystem; e.g. Wilke et al, 2016). So far, only a single example has been reported, namely in dinoflagellates, in which morphological, genetic and ecological differences have not been attributed to phenotypic plasticity, but rather to a rapid adaptive radiation within closely related species (Annenkova et al, 2015).…”
