Lake Baikal : a mirror in time and space for understanding global change processes : the 1998 BBD Baikal Symposium of the Japanese Association for Baikal International Research Program (JABIRP), Yokohama, November 5th-8th, 1998 /

Lake Baikal is the oldest lake and largest freshwater reservoir in the world. As a result of its exceptionally long geological history, the lake has been a theatre of evolution and speciation of organisms, and it currently harbors more species than any other lake in the world. Based on its unique na...
