Differential resilience of ancient sister lakes Ohrid and Prespa to environmental disturbances during the Late Pleistocene
... Given this lack of knowledge, the general goal of this paper is to use diatom com- munity information obtained from sediment records of lakes Ohrid (core DEEP-5045-1) and Prespa (core Co1204) as a proxy to comparatively ...
