Benthic bacterial diversity in submerged sinkhole ecosystems.
Physicochemical characterization, automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA) community profiling, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing approaches were used to study bacterial communities inhabiting submerged Lake Huron sinkholes inundated with hypoxic, sulfate-rich groundwater. Photosynthetic cyanobacterial mats on the sediment surface were dominated by Phormidium autumnale, while deeper, o...
متن کاملA 9,000-year-old caribou hunting structure beneath Lake Huron.
Some of the most pivotal questions in human history necessitate the investigation of archaeological sites that are now under water. Nine thousand years ago, the Alpena-Amberley Ridge (AAR) beneath modern Lake Huron was a dry land corridor that connected northeast Michigan to southern Ontario. The newly discovered Drop 45 Drive Lane is the most complex hunting structure found to date beneath the...
متن کاملRecent water level declines in the Lake Michigan-Huron system.
Great Lakes water levels have fluctuated over thousands of years. High water levels were a problem in the 1980s, but a recent sudden drop in Lakes Michigan and Huron has caused particular concern, in part because lower water levels are consistent with many global climate change scenarios. We examined water level data (1860-2006) representing Lakes Michigan and Huron to evaluate changes in both ...
متن کاملDo invasive mussels restrict offshore phosphorus transport in Lake Huron?
Dreissenid mussels were first documented in the Laurentian Great Lakes in the late 1980s. Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) spread quickly into shallow, hard-substrate areas; quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) spread more slowly and are currently colonizing deep, offshore areas. These mussels occur at high densities, filter large water volumes while feeding on suspended materia...
متن کاملExploring Ancient Landscapes Under Lake Huron Using Cultural Algorithms
The L-CAPS system is a functional interface for learning group behavior using Cultural Algorithms in the land bridge simulation example. It enables the Cultural Algorithms process to implicitly communicate with, modify and evaluate, autonomous game agents restricted to an external virtual world. The L-CAPS system is described and used to learn the group behavior of caribou herds in the virtual ...
