Abstract: Climate change is expected to alter meteorological statistics and patterns across the world, with many areas projected for increased mean and extreme temperatures and precipitation. As this transition alters global atmospheric patterns, it is expected that...
Abstract: Non-target organisms in aquatic environments are not only affected by lethal toxicity of contaminants, but also sublethal effects. Continuing to study the effects that sublethal contaminant concentrations can have on non-target species, specifically...
Abstract: The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a non-native fish that has received much attention. Otoliths (calcified structures of the inner ear) accumulate metals that fish are exposed to in their environment and tend to retain those elements once they are...
Abstract: The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a small fish native to Eurasia. Round goby became invasive to the Great Lakes in the 1990s and have since caused negative impacts to indigenous aquatic life. With growing populations in Lake Erie, round goby may...
Abstract: Originally from Asia, the Japanese mysterysnail (JPM; Cipangopaludina japonica) has spread to the eastern and midwestern waters of the United States. As snails, JPMs can readily accumulate metals from the environment and can sequester these metals into their...
Abstract: Invasive species threaten non-native habitats by outcompeting native species, disrupting food chains, and reducing biodiversity. The Chinese mysterysnail (Cipangopaludina chinensis) was introduced to the Great Lakes region in the 1930s and 1940s and is now...
