In recent (2010–2019) years, the BNL has disappeared from all areas except for central Lake Erie, where only a small decrease in bottom turbidity has occurred. All stratified regions which exhibited a pre-<em>Dreissena</em> BNL, including central Lake Erie, experienced substantial post-<em>Dreissena</em> reductions in near-bottom TP, although the forms of phosphorus (particulate or soluble) responsible for these reductions have varied from lake to lake. Notably, the arrival of <em>Dreissena</em> at offshore sites was not accompanied by an increase in soluble phosphorus. Initiation of changes in the BNL almost invariably preceded appearance of <em>Dreissena</em> in the offshore, suggesting both that dreissenid impacts on the reductions in the BNL were largely remote, and by extension that the source of the BNL was also at least in part remote. Previous researchers’ estimates of the importance of the benthic pool of phosphorus to offshore water column concentration suggest that the post-invasion reductions in bottom phosphorus during the stratified season could be contributing to the offshore oligotrophication of the lakes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":"50 5","pages":"Article 102408"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142316239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present data from aquatic invertebrate surveys conducted in two Lake Superior parks that are distanced from such watersheds and pressures, namely Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (APIS) and Isle Royale National Park (ISRO). Our intensive, multi-gear surveys from 99 APIS stations in 2017 and 165 ISRO stations in 2012 reveal a broad diversity of zooplankton and benthic/littoral macroinvertebrate taxa. Park samples yielded 29 zooplankton and &gt;300 benthic/littoral taxa, with richness exceeding that of comparable nearshore datasets, especially for aquatic insects, leeches, and mites. Station depth was a major factor structuring invertebrates, and benthic/littoral densities were highest and composition most diverse at shallow stations having aquatic vegetation. Species composition and taxa accumulation patterns differed considerably among sampling gears, highlighting the value of multi-gear surveys. Several park mollusk and insect species matched ‘special concern’ listings, and two non-native cladocerans were very abundant. These two surveys added 11 new species to the aquatic macroinvertebrates known from Lake Superior, highlighting the importance of these parks in harboring biodiversity and the importance of individualized assessments of places not well represented in more routine lakewide biological monitoring.

We conducted a morphological analysis of Crystal Lake cisco to determine whether it was consistent with a distinctive Lake Erie form (<em>albus</em>), which was also historically documented, albeit rarely, in western Lake Ontario. Using principal component analysis, we compared eight morphometric ratios and one meristic from our Crystal Lake cisco collection with historical and contemporary collections of cisco from Lakes Erie and Ontario. Maximum likelihood ellipse overlaps between Crystal Lake cisco and presumed <em>albus</em> (the dominant Lake Erie form prior to extirpation) collections averaged 54%. For all groups, the greatest morphological overlap (73.9%) occurred between Crystal Lake and 1957 Lake Erie cisco, which only differed from Crystal Lake cisco in dorsal fin length. Alternatively, overlap between Crystal Lake cisco and all other Lake Ontario collections averaged 3.2%. Our results demonstrate that Crystal Lake cisco are likely an <em>albus</em> form; furthermore, historical documentation and our morphological results suggest a Lake Erie origin. Substantial overlap between Crystal Lake cisco and Lake Ontario <em>albus</em> collected in 1917 is likely explained by continuous entrainment of Lake Erie larvae into Lake Ontario.

Lake Taihu is confronted with severe eutrophication and algal blooms. Field investigations were carried out in Lake Taihu and two inflow rivers for two years to identify the source of COM and explore the bioavailability of COM to algae. Compositions and sources of COM were analyzed through UV absorption coefficients and parallel factor analysis of three-dimensional excitation emission matrix spectra (3D EEMs-PARAFAC). Absorption coefficient <em>a</em>(350) of COM in rivers surpassed that in the lake, SUVA₂₅₄ exhibited noteworthy seasonal variations, and S_R indicated a stable autochthonous characteristic. Three components were identified by PARAFAC analysis: tryptophan-like (C1), humic-like (C2), and tyrosine-like (C3). Fluorescence indexes showed that C1 and C3 were mainly autochthonously produced and C2 was derived from allochthonous inputs. The bioassays were conducted to assess the bioavailability of COM to the dominant species, <em>Microcystis aeruginosa.</em> The results showed that colloids supplied rich carbon sources and trace metals, supporting the growth of <em>Microcystis aeruginosa</em>. The specific growth rate, Chl <em>a</em> content, and biological increment of <em>Microcystis aeruginosa</em> in 50 % colloid-added treatment exceeded those in 20 % and 75 % treatments. Simultaneously, the effective quantum yield (F_v/Fm) and the apparent photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR_max) demonstrated that the photosynthetic activity of <em>Microcystis aeruginosa</em> was higher in 20 % treatment.

However, because this process involves perception, downstream cognitive processing of sensory information affects decisions regarding expression of antipredator behavior. Response habituation, wherein repeated or continuous exposure to a cue reduces behavioral response rates, is an oft-cited challenge for use of predation cues as conservation tools. Habituation may be delayed or prevented by altering the concentration and/or the temporal pattern of odor release (pulses of odor vs continuous application). We examined the effects of varying odor concentration and exposure regime (continuous vs pulsed) on behavioral response of adult sea lamprey (<em>Petromyzon marinus</em>) to conspecific alarm cue in a two-choice maze. We found that exposure to alarm cue induced more frequent and rapid upstream movement, regardless of exposure regime. There was also clear evidence of a speed-accuracy tradeoff, wherein sea lamprey that took longer to arrive at the bifurcation in the maze were more likely to avoid the arm activated with alarm cue. We could not ascertain the value of increasing concentration or pulsing the alarm cue on preventing habituation, as habituation did not occur. We hypothesize dishabituation to the alarm cue occurred immediately prior to testing due to handling that may have inadvertently simulated an unsuccessful predator attack. If true, incorporating dishabituating stimuli may prove a useful means to maintain the efficacy of alarm cue when applied as a repellent to manipulate the movements of sea lamprey.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":"50 5","pages":"Article 102398"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133024001576/pdfft?md5=4788a4a666d10929cd0ef58ae84f0fd7&pid=1-s2.0-S0380133024001576-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141847555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eleven years (2010 to 2021) of daily P, total suspended solids (TSS), discharge, and climatological data were aggregated from three Canadian tributaries that form a gradient of tiled areas: East Sydenham River (ESR, 60% tile), Thames River (TR, 48% tile), and Grand River (GR, 23% tile). Instead of using traditional seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall), we classified seasons by air temperature to highlight hydrological periods of importance for P loss through tile drains. Seasons included frozen (&lt;−3.2 °C), thawing (−3.2 – 6.7 °C), bare (6.7 – 15.9 °C), and growing (&gt;15.9 °C). Nonparametric comparisons revealed that during every season, the ESR and TR had significantly higher soluble reactive P (SRP) and total P (TP) concentrations than the GR. For %SRP, the ESR was significantly higher than the other rivers during every season, while for TSS, the GR was significantly higher than the other rivers during every season. Only during the thawing season were positive relationships observed in every river between year-over-year tile-drainage proportion and associated P loadings and concentrations. The ESR was the only river to yield significant relationships between tile drainage and P in all seasons except the frozen season. Our findings suggest that increases in tile-drainage area can lead to increases in SRP loading to Lake Erie from Canadian tributaries, especially during the thawing season. However, effects of tile drainage are moderated by differences in soil texture, land-use-land-cover, climate, and point sources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":"50 5","pages":"Article 102396"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133024001540/pdfft?md5=015d4502f27051fc6076a327775ca3d3&pid=1-s2.0-S0380133024001540-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141853324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper compared lake trout adult mortality and year-class strength to explore the mechanisms for the rapid increase in lake trout abundance prior to the alewife collapse and the maintenance of lake trout status after the alewife collapse. The population metrics were derived independently from data for each of the two time-periods, using a recently described procedure of catch-curve regression with multiple years of data. Prior to 2000, the instantaneous total mortality rate was much higher than that for the post-2000 time-period. Year-class strength of stocked lake trout increased largely for those year-classes of the 1990s. The increases in year-class strength and decreases in adult mortality established the highest lake trout abundance at beginning of the post-2000 time-period. Wild lake trout first appeared with the year-classes of the 1990s, and the year-class strength really took off after 2000, prior to the 2003 collapse of alewives, while the alewife biomass was in steady decline during the 1990s before the population collapse. In contrast to wild lake trout, the year-class strength of stocked lake trout declined rapidly after 2000. Since the late 2000s, with the low adult mortality being maintained for both wild and stock lake trout, their year-class strength had similar dynamics although the variation for stocked lake trout appeared to be higher than that for wild lake trout.</span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":54818,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Great Lakes Research","volume":"50 5","pages":"Article 102397"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141689864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
