Acknowledgments

A big “thank you” to Mark Brenner for the thoughtful introduction to my presentation at the 13th International Paleolimnology Symposium in Lanzhou, China, 4–7 August 2015 and for carefully reviewing the manuscript. The comments and suggestions made by Roberta Guilizzoni, Trudy Hall, Tom Whitmore, John Smol, Antonella Cattaneo, Norman Yan are greatly appreciated and all contributed to improve my English. Thanks Norman for the time spent together in Pallanza talking about the “take away” messages for young researchers. Norman, I particularly enjoyed discussing the Italians, their mentality, customs, and their common/strange/unique/curious/often unpredictable behavior (cf. the book Ciao, America!) and your song on Daphnia that you sang for the community here. I thank Stefano Gerli for the valuable help in organizing the figures and photographs.
