Many of the original chestnut and cedar log cabins, built around the lakes from locally cut trees, are still in use.
Several playas (saline lake beds), locally known as dhands, are scattered throughout the region.
Surely Silver Lake featured locally sourced mâche, and remotely sourced Oberlin grads, long before Brooklyn began rebranding every semi-employed young person in its own image.
Located in British Columbia, the lake is locally called Kliluk, and is considered sacred.
In 1912, white-tailed deer around the lake became locally extinct due to loss of habitat from lumbering and overhunting.
Climate and tectonic activity probably controlled the fluctuating lake levels but locally the paleorelief and drainage were probably the controlling factors for the vegetation changes.
Industrially derived organic molecules (PAHs, PCBs) show marked patterns of increase in lake sediments at locally appropriate time-horizons, with no evidence of vertical leaching [ 61, 62].
Lakes in turn harbour locally adapted populations that spawn among diverse environments, including mainland-beach, island-beach, and tributary habitats [ 45].
Since the lake is oligotrophic (nutrient-poor), the native fish fauna is relatively scarce, and the only endemics are Rasbora tobana (strictly speaking near-endemic, since also found in some tributary rivers that run into the lake) and Neolissochilus thienemanni, locally known as the Batak fish.
By a wide margin, the most abundant mosquito-size insects in these habitats are non-biting midges (Chironomidae and Chaoboridae) [14], known locally as "lake flies".
