DOI: 10.1016/j.jglr.2018.11.014
Abstract: Abstract Many studies attribute shifts in relative abundances of Cyclotella sensu lato diatom taxa in freshwater lakes over the past 150 years to climate change. Although abundances of several of these taxa have also changed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jglr.2019.03.013
Abstract: The notion that Lake Superior proper is inhospitable to dreissenid mussel survival has been challenged by recent finds on shipwrecks and rocky reefs in the Apostle Islands region. Motivated by concerns surrounding these finds, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jglr.2020.07.014
Abstract: The tubenose goby (Proterorhinus semilunaris) entered the Great Lakes in the 1990s via ballast water, but remains poorly studied within North America, making it difficult to predict its effects on native ecosystems. Dietary breadth and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jglr.2021.03.018
Abstract: Abstract Introduced salmonines (Oncorhynchus spp. and Salmo spp.) are important components of recreational fisheries in the Great Lakes. These fishes were stocked heavily following the fishery collapse of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) due to sea… read more here.
