Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of temperature and nutrients on the growth and dynamics of toxic and non-toxic strains of Microcystis during cyanobacteria blooms
TL;DR: Molecular quantification of toxic (mcyD-possessing) Microcystis was a better predictor of in situ microcystin levels than total cyanobacteria, total Micro Cystis, chlorophyll a, or other factors, being significantly correlated with the toxin in every lake studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health impacts from cyanobacteria harmful algae blooms: Implications for the North American Great Lakes.
TL;DR: It is shown that cHABs occur throughout the Great Lakes basin, with reports of animal illness and death, especially dogs and livestock, and that the dominant toxigenic cyanobacterium is the genus Microcystis known to produce microcystins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The re-eutrophication of Lake Erie: Harmful algal blooms and hypoxia.

TL;DR: A retrospective synthesis of past and current nutrient inputs, impairments by planktonic and benthic HABs and hypoxia, modelling and Best Management Practices in the Lake Erie basin demonstrates that phosphorus reduction is of primary importance, but the effects of climate, nitrogen and other factors should also be considered in the context of adaptive management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of Toxic Microcystis spp. during the 2003 and 2004 Blooms in Western Lake Erie using Quantitative Real-Time PCR
Johanna M. Rinta-Kanto,Anthony J. A. Ouellette,Gregory L. Boyer,Michael R. Twiss,Thomas B. Bridgeman,Steven W. Wilhelm +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study provide novel insight regarding the distribution and abundance of Microcystis spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Joint spatial analysis of stressors and ecosystem services can provide a critical foundation for maximizing social and ecological benefits from restoration investments and find that many important areas for fisheries and recreation are subject to high stress, indicating that ecosystem degradation could be threatening key services.
