Journal ArticleDOI
Fisheries management to reduce contaminant consumption
TL;DR: The most promising option, well supported by data is in many ways the simplist: selective stocking of species that accumulate contaminants at the lowest levels as mentioned in this paper, which may more effectively reduce PCB exposure than cleanup activities do.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of fish nests on pattern and zonation of submersed macrophytes in a softwater lake
TL;DR: Pattern analyses show that patch sizes of diaspore-propagated species correspond to the size of fish nests, and conventional explanations of macrophyte zonation based on depth, exposure, and competition are insufficient in this lake; effects of disturbance must be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
he effect of whole-lake fish community manipulations on Daphnia migratory behavior
TL;DR: A four-summer study of vertical migration by Daphnia was conducted in two neighboring lakes during a two-stage fish community manipulation, confirming the pre-eminence of predation avoidance among several extant hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorus sources and demand during summer in a eutrophic lake

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used free-water oxygen measurements and an associated metabolic model to infer rates of phosphorus uptake and biotic mineralization in the epilimnion of a eutrophic lake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparing for the future: teaching scenario planning at the graduate level
Reinette Biggs,Matthew W. Diebel,David Gilroy,Amy M. Kamarainen,Matthew S. Kornis,Nicholas D. Preston,Jennifer E. Schmitz,Christopher K. Uejio,Matthew C. Van de Bogert,Brian C. Weidel,Paul C. West,Paul C. West,David P. M. Zaks,Stephen R. Carpenter +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an example of how such new, or "post-normal" approaches have been taught at the graduate level, through practical application of scenario planning, and surveyed students reported that they found the scenario planning course highly stimulating, thought-provoking, and inspiring.
