Freshwater ecology and limnology is no stranger to experiments and data collected at large spatial and temporal scales. Nor is it a stranger to the molecular revolution. As our questions about distributions, abundances, structures and evolution grow in complexity with access to data, we need to stay aware of advances in tools for analysis and visualization. Here I review several advances in statistics and visualisation that might influence the future of limnology and freshwater ecology and evolution.
