Microcystins in components of twelve New Hampshire lakes of varied trophic status [PDF]
Cyanobacteria toxins, called microcystins (MCs), were found in components of twelve, stratified New Hampshire (USA) lakes of varied trophic status during the summer of 1998.

Do Cyanobacteria Blooms Enhance Parasite Loads in Lake Erie Yellow Perch? [PDF]
Harmful Algal Blooms composed of cyanobacteria (HABs) are a major concern globally, especially in ecosystems that support commercial and recreational fisheries. Although HABs have been shown to negatively affect the services provided by ecosystems (e.g.,

The Effect of Temperature on Recovery of Buoyancy by Microcystis [PDF]
Summary: Colonies of Microcystis in Abbots Pool, Avon, UK, were found to regulate their buoyancy according to light (photon flux density). The autumnal decline of the population was associated with an increase in the proportion of colonies that were non-buoyant, and with declining temperatures in the pond.

Abstract Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) and their metabolites, widely used in agricultural, industrial, and household products, are known endocrine disruptors. Since the 1980s, many countries have implemented restrictions on their production and use, necessitating an evaluation of these regulations by reviewing their source and environmental behavior ...

Abstract Periphyton plays an important functional role in shallow lakes and is sensitive to variation in nutrient availability and global warming. Understanding the responses of periphyton to changes in nutrient availability in contrasting warming scenarios can contribute to the development of more efficient techniques for the restoration of lakes in a

Occurrence and Distribution of Cyanobacteria and their Toxins in Silver Lake, New Hampshire [PDF]
A study of Silver Lake, NH was performed as part of a 5-lake assessment of cyanobacteria prevalence and distribution. Multi-parameter fluorescence probe measurements of chlorophyll a and cyanobacteria concentrations (PC, phycocyanin fluorescence) were ...

Integrating phytoplankton phenology, traits, and model‐data fusion to advance bloom prediction
Abstract While there is a diversity of approaches for modeling phytoplankton blooms, their accuracy in predicting the onset and manifestation of a bloom is still lagging behind what is needed to support effective management. We outline a framework that integrates trait theory and ecosystem modeling to improve bloom prediction.
