Diel and horizontal patterns in the densities of Bythotrephes, Chaoborus, and Leptodora in a Minnesota Reservoir
Understanding the simultaneous distributions of three invertebrate planktonic predators—Bythotrephes cederstroemii, Chaoborus punctipennis, and Leptodora kindtii—in one system can help describe food web dynamics and inform management decisions. The population densities of these three species were …

Past precipitation, watershed characteristics, and drought: interactive effects on watersheds of Northern California.
Forested watersheds in Western North America are experiencing more frequent drought due to climate change, which impacts drinking water resources and stresses vulnerable aquatic species. Watershed properties, such as aspect, elevation, soil type, vegetation composition, and stand age, are known to …

Optimizing a long-term monitoring program to track toxic cyanobacteria blooms in a Great Lakes estuary
Recent observations indicate cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) have become increasingly frequent and severe in the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE) since 2018. Given the novelty of cHABs in the SLRE, the locations, timing, and environmental conditions associated with past cHABs have …

Biological Iron Limitation within Lake Superior's Watershed: Oligotrophic Algal Blooms Along a Land to Lake Gradient
Growing amounts of freshwater literature highlight phytoplankton iron limitation in systems of varying hydrology and trophic status. Furthermore, global trends of increased dissolved iron in lakes could play an important role in relieving iron limitation. Concurrent rises in oligotrophic harmful …

Characterizing spatial and temporal trends in fish community diversity in the inland lakes of Isle Royale, MI, USA
The inland lakes of Isle Royale, MI have remained relatively isolated from human impact, providing an opportunity to explore how fish diversity has natural shifted with minimal confounding effects. I analyzed fish assemblages of 23 lakes sampled in the 1920s, 1990s, and 2020s to 1) assess temporal …
