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.

TL;DR: Inland distribution of adult caddisflies exhibited considerable interspecific variation: distribution was inconsistent among trials for Hexagenia, possibly owing to timing of collections in relation to periods of peak emergence.

TL;DR: This work presents the steps involved in constructing an FCM of an ecosystem, interpreting FCM output using multivariate statistics, and portraying the information in an easily communicated fashion, and offers recommendations for increasing the efficiency of the model-development and interpretation process.

TL;DR: A cumulative stress index is developed by combining the first principal component from each of the five stress categories in the U.S. Great Lakes basin, and strong relationships between the stress measures and characteristics of bird communities, fish communities, and water chemistry measurements from the coastal region are found.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined temperature trends in a 20-year set of monitoring records collected at multiple deep-water stations in the central basin of Lake Erie and found that the water temperature increased by an average (±SE) of 0.037 ± 0.01°C per year.
