From Headwaters to the Sea: The Journey of Creating an Immersive Museum Exhibit
Abstract We describe the multi‐year journey of a group of researchers co‐creating a museum exhibit with the Biosphère an environmental museum of the City of Montréal. The collaboration resulted in an immersive experience where visitors can dive into an aquatic continuum and learn about function, ecology, chemistry, and the roles of the various aquatic ...

The Freshwater Zooplankton of Sri Lanka, with a Discussion of Tropical Freshwater Zooplankton Composition [PDF]
AbstractBased on the study of over 500 zooplankton samples collected in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) during 1965–1974, the species composition from different habitats is analysed. The zooplankton assemblage is typically tropical with relatively few species of Cladocera and Copepoda. The Rotifera include a large number of species of the genus Brachionus.

Variable phenology but consistent loss of ice cover on 1213 Minnesota lakes
Abstract Lake ice cover is declining globally with important implications for lake ecosystems. Ice loss studies often rely on small numbers of lakes with long‐term data. We analyzed variation and trends in ice cover phenology from 1213 lakes over 74 yr (1949–2022) in Minnesota (USA), during which ice cover duration declined at a rate of 2 d per decade (

Limnological study of Zealand Pond, White Mountains, New Hampshire [PDF]
Zealand Pond, New Hampshire, was chosen as the site of a remote lake study. Data were collected between July 18 and August 29,1997. Zealand Pond had a relatively high pH (6.3-6.9) and alkalinity (2.3- 3.1 mg CaCO3 /liter), considering its small size and ...

Abstract Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is the most energetic waveband of incident solar radiation and has wide‐ranging effects in the aquatic environment. Our analysis of an 18‐year record of underwater irradiance and related limnological variables in sub‐alpine, ultra‐oligotrophic Lake Tahoe revealed orders of magnitude changes in UV transparency ...

An assessment of plankton populations, toxic cyanobacteria, and potential impact of introduced marine alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in Pawtuckaway Lake, New Hampshire [PDF]
A field study was conducted during the summer, 2005 to evaluate the lake water quality and planktonic communities in Pawtuckaway Lake, NH. Of special concern was the condition of the plankton populations since the lake had been subjected to introductions

Aquatic heatwaves increase surface chlorophyll concentrations in experimental and reference lakes
Abstract Aquatic heatwaves are increasing in frequency, intensity, and duration worldwide. While increases in mean water temperatures are linked to enhanced phytoplankton biomass, it is unclear how heatwaves alter phytoplankton dynamics in lakes at an ecosystem scale.

Diel vertical migration strategies of zooplankton in oligotrophic Russell Pond, New Hampshire [PDF]
Russell Pond is an ultra-oligotrophic lake with low chlorophyll a (1.9 mg L-1), total phosphorus (3.4 mg L-1), high Secchi Disk (10.4 m) and high light transmission (water coefficient of water, kw=0.33). Vertical migration of Chaoborus, Bosmina, Daphnia,
