Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lake Northern Forest
The USGS Great Lakes Science Center¿s Lake Ontario Biological Station is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research quantifying energy dynamics in the Lake Ontario food. Invasive species have substantially altered energy transfer among and within Great Lake food webs. Understanding the magnitude and implications of such requires an ecosystem-level approach to data collection and food-web modeling. In 2013 a multi-national, multi-agency field effort will quantify the status and energy connections within the Lake Ontario food web and will focus on parameterizing a whole-lake food web mass balance model from primary production and bacteria to piscivores, quantifying ecosystem and community effects of the deep chlorophyll layer, and describing nearshore-offshore organism distribution and energy transfer.
