Benthic Algae of Lake Erie (1865-2006): A Review of Assemblage Composition, Ecology, and Causes and Consequences of Changing Abundance
Peer-reviewed literature and published reports were used to summarize knowledge of benthic algal assemblage composition and ecology in Lake Erie, and causes and consequences of temporal variation in algal abundance. Macroalgal assemblages in rocky littoral and so substrate habitats have been reasonably well described and studied, as has the epiphyte/ metaphyte assemblage associated with rocky ...
متن کاملModeling the growth response of Cladophora in a Laurentian Great Lake to the exotic invader Dreissena and to lake warming
A Cladophora growth model (CGM) is calibrated and validated here to simulate attached and sloughed Cladophora biomass in daily time-steps in an urbanized location of Lake Ontario, using two years of collected input data and independent measurements of Cladophora biomass. The CGM is used to hindcast Cladophora growth using multiplicative factors of seasonal minimal tissue phosphorus concentratio...

The aim of this study is to provide necessary information on the biology of mosquitofish in Seyhan Dam Lake in Adana, which is located in southern part of Turkey. The population structure of eastern mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859 was studied in Seyhan Dam Lake. A total of 1582 specimens (772 males and 810 females) were collected monthly from January to December, 2007. The age comp...

متن کاملDaphnia Population Dynamics in Western Lake Erie: Regulation by Food Limitation and Yellow Perch Predation
Two Daphnia species exhibited similar dynamic patterns in western Lake Erie. Populations peaked in early summer, declined to minimum abundance in mid-July, and then disappeared after August. To determine relative importance of food limitation and young-of-year (YOY) fish predation in regulating Daphnia dynamics, we examined relationships (I) between edible phytoplankton abundances and Daphnia f...
