Periodic travelling waves have been reported in a number of recent spatio-temporal field
studies of populations undergoing multi-year cycles. Mathematical modelling has a major …

Communities of microscopic plant life, or phytoplankton, dominate the Earth's aquatic
ecosystems. This important new book by Colin Reynolds covers the adaptations, physiology …

We describe, explain, and" predict" dispersal and ecosystem impacts of six Ponto-Caspian
endemic species that recently invaded the Great Lakes via ballast water. The zebra mussel …

Zooplankton are considered excellent indicators of aquatic food web structure, due to their
role as grazers on primary producers and their sensitivity to predation by both planktivorous …

Herein, we document changes in the Lake Michigan food web between 1970 and 2000 and
identify the factors responsible for these changes. Control of sea lamprey (Petromyzon …

We conducted a study to determine the contribution of lethal and nonlethal effects to a
predator's net effect on a prey's population growth rate in a natural setting. We focused on …

Aquatic ecosystems are monitored worldwide using a range of biological quality elements
that are morphologically identified. The environmental DNA (eDNA)-based approach has …

A constant dilemma in theoretical ecology is knowing whether model predictions corrspond
to real phenomena or whether they are artifacts of the modelling framework. The frequent …

Quantifying the relationship between phytoplankton and zooplankton may offer insight into
zooplankton sensitivity to shifting phytoplankton assemblages and the potential impacts of …

The crustacean zooplankton communities in Lakes Michigan and Huron and the central and
eastern basins of Lake Erie have shown substantial, persistent changes since the invasion …
