Site-scale disturbance best predicts moss, vascular plant, and amphibian indices in Ohio wetlands Site-scale disturbance best predicts moss, vascular plant, and amphibian indices in Ohio wetlands
Loss of wetland habitats and their associated biological communities is a major environmental concern. Quality assessment indices (QAIs) and indices of biological integrity (IBIs) are useful for assessing the responses of taxa to wetland habitat quality and land use in the surrounding landscape. We synthesized the results of our previous predictive modeling studies of five IBIs and QAIs...

Biotic and abiotic factors influencing zooplankton vertical distribution in Lake Huron Biotic and abiotic factors influencing zooplankton vertical distribution in Lake Huron
The vertical distribution of zooplankton can have substantial influence on trophic structure in freshwater systems, particularly by determining spatial overlap for predator/prey dynamics and influencing energy transfer. The zooplankton community in some of the Laurentian Great Lakes has undergone changes in composition and declines in total biomass, especially after 2003. Mechanisms...

Rapid evolution meets invasive species control: The potential for pesticide resistance in sea lamprey Rapid evolution meets invasive species control: The potential for pesticide resistance in sea lamprey
Rapid evolution of pest, pathogen and wildlife populations can have undesirable effects; for example, when insects evolve resistance to pesticides or fishes evolve smaller body size in response to harvest. A destructive invasive species in the Laurentian Great Lakes, the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) has been controlled with the pesticide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) since...

It's like night and day: Diel net-effects on Cercopagidae densities in the Laurentian Great Lakes It's like night and day: Diel net-effects on Cercopagidae densities in the Laurentian Great Lakes
In the Laurentian Great Lakes, zooplankters are often sampled using standard ≤153 μm mesh nets without regard to the time of day they are collected. We sampled Cercopagidae during 2013–2014 in northern Lake Huron during day, dusk, and night using two different nets (a 0.5 m wide 153 μm mesh “standard” net and a 0.75 m wide 285 μm mesh “Bythotrephes” net) to determine if there were any...

Testing for synchrony in recruitment among four Lake Michigan fish species Testing for synchrony in recruitment among four Lake Michigan fish species
In the Great Lakes region, multiple fish species display intra-specific spatial synchrony in 28 recruitment success, with inter-annual climate variation hypothesized as the most likely driver. 29 In Lake Michigan, we evaluated whether climatic or other physical variables could also induce 30 spatial synchrony across multiple species, including bloater (Coregonus hoyi), rainbow smelt 31...

An automated approach to Litchfield and Wilcoxon's evaluation of dose–effect experiments using the R package LW1949 An automated approach to Litchfield and Wilcoxon's evaluation of dose–effect experiments using the R package LW1949
The authors developed a package, LW1949, for use with the statistical software R to automatically carry out the manual steps of Litchfield and Wilcoxon's method of evaluating dose–effect experiments. The LW1949 package consistently finds the best fitting dose–effect relation by minimizing the chi-squared statistic of the observed and expected number of affected individuals and...
