Historical niche partitioning and long‐term trophic shifts in Laurentian Great Lakes deepwater coregonines
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2080
Abstract: Over the last 100 yr, anthropogenic stressors have decimated the assemblage of deepwater coregonines that once underpinned the food webs of the Laurentian Great Lakes. As a part of ongoing restoration efforts, fisheries managers are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2019.111427
Abstract: Abstract Most large temperate lakes experience overturning every spring and fall as surface water moves past 4 °C, the temperature of maximum density for freshwater. These semiannual, lake-wide overturning events play an important role regulating the… read more here.
