Use of deep autochthonous resources by zooplankton: Results of a metalimnetic addition of 13C to a small lake

TL;DR: In this article, the authors experimentally enriched the metalimnetic dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) 13C pool in Peter Lake to enhance the isotopic separation between surface and deep phytoplankton often have similar isotopic compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Sampling Frequency on Intersample Variance and Food Consumption Estimates of Nonpiscivorous Largemouth Bass

TL;DR: The effects of sampling frequency on diet variance and on estimated prey consumption by the fish population in an age-II+ cohort of largemouth bass in Michigan's upper peninsula were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental test of the pupation window model for development of detritivorous insects

TL;DR: Tests of the model using cohorts of Aedes triseriatus Say led to successful predictions of numbers of pupae, female pupal mass, and female development time, but it is recommended that model parameters be estimated separately for different types of leaf litter.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Mixed-Order Model to Assess Contaminant Declines

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized form of the common first-order decay model is introduced for describing contaminant declines in environmental applications, particularly when declines are a mixture of many underlying processes, leaving the exponent on contaminant concentration as a free parameter allowing the order of the reaction to be determined by the data.
