Abstract The vertical distribution of chlorophyll in stratified lakes and reservoirs frequently exhibits a maximum peak deep the water column, referred to as (DCM). DCMs are ecologically important hot spots primary production nutrient cycling, their location can determine habitat gradients for consumers. Consequently, drivers DCM structure regulate many characteristics aquatic food webs biogeochemistry. Previous studies have identified light thermal stratification summer depth, but relative...
Inputs of terrestrial organic carbon (t-OC) into lakes are often considered a resource subsidy for aquatic consumer production. Although there is evidence that can be incorporated the tissues consumers, its ability to enhance production has been debated. Our research aims evaluate net effect t-OC input on zooplankton. We used survey zooplankton and use in ten along naturally occurring gradient concentration address these questions. Total group-specific was negatively related t-OC. Residual...
In light of recent accounting scandals and the ensuing “crisis in confidence” facing public profession, there is a new challenge to educators: how effectively incorporate ethics into courses, increase moral reasoning abilities their students. Providing students with ability reason respect dilemmas may help minimize future judgment errors auditing settings. This article describes several different educational interventions that were adopted an undergraduate course. Students' was assessed both...
Cross‐ecosystem material flows, in the form of inorganic nutrients, detritus and organisms, spatially connect ecosystems impact food web dynamics. To date research on flows has focused quantity these largely ignored their elemental composition, or quality. However, ratios elements like carbon, nitrogen phosphorus can influence have interactions through stoichiometric mismatches between resources consumers. The type movement materials likely vary ability to change constraints within recipient...
Objectives. The objectives of this study were to test for differences in prescription monitoring program (PMP) use between two states, Connecticut (CT) and Rhode Island (RI), with a different PMP accessibility; explore reports clinical practice; examine associations clinician's responses suspected diversion or "doctor shopping" (i.e., multiple prescriptions from providers).
Over the last several decades, many lakes globally have increased in dissolved organic carbon (DOC), calling into question how lake functions may respond to increasing DOC. Unfortunately, our basis for making predictions is limited spatial surveys, modeling, and laboratory experiments, which not accurately capture important whole-ecosystem processes. In this article, we present data on metabolic physiochemical responses of a multiyear experimental whole-lake increase DOC concentration....
Storm events disproportionately mobilize dissolved phosphorus (P) compared to nitrogen (N), contributing reduction in load N:P. In agricultural watersheds, conservation tillage may lead even further declines N:P due P accumulation the top soil layers. Due an increase this management activity, we were interested impacts of on N and loads during storm events. Using a 20 year data set nutrient hypereutrophic reservoir, observed increasing relative base flow events, whereas proportional...
Abstract Ecosystem‐scale primary production may be proximately limited by nitrogen (N) but ultimately phosphorus (P) because N 2 fixation contributes new that accumulates relative to P at ecosystem scales. However, the duration needed transition between proximate limitation and ultimate remains unknown for most ecosystems, including lakes. Here we present results of a fully replicated, multi‐annual lake mesocosm experiment permitted full air‐water‐sediment interactions mimicked ecology. We...

The observed pattern of lake browning, or increased terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, across the northern hemisphere has amplified importance understanding how consumer productivity varies with DOC concentration. Results from comparative studies suggest these concentrations may reduce crustacean zooplankton due to reductions in resource quality and volume suitable habitat. Although spatial comparisons provide an expectation for response as concentration increases, we...
Abstract High external nutrient loads to lakes are a primary cause of eutrophication. As such, management activities in the watersheds heavily impacted systems commonly implemented reduce supply with high phytoplankton biomass. Although efforts often successful, resilience against reversal eutrophication may be maintained by variety different drivers These include internal sources nutrients, and increases light availability declining sediment loads. We used 21‐yr dataset examine responses...
Abstract Current efforts to scale lake processes rely heavily on empirical observations and do not consider inter‐lake heterogeneity that is likely regulate terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (tDOC) decomposition in lakes. We created a simple, analytical model of tDOC lakes highlights the role size catchment hydrologic export. Our predicts hydrologically mediated tradeoff between instantaneous rate fraction load decomposed within lake. also predict variation importance evaporation as...
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in lakes reduces light penetration and limits fish production low nutrient lakes, reportedly via reduced primary secondary production. Alternatively, DOC reductions could influence by altering their visual feeding. Previous studies report mixed effects of on feeding rates zooplanktivorous fish, but most investigators tested a single concentration against clear-water, turbid, or algal treatments. We used controlled laboratory study to quantify the gradient (3–19...
INTRODUCTION: Reconstruction after wide local excision of melanomas in the head and neck can be formidable. Many tumors lie close to vital structures, must carefully balance preservation form function. For small defects, primary closure or skin grafting is satisfactory. However, it has become increasingly evident that more advanced reconstructive procedures improve outcome terms both function aesthetics. This study was undertaken determine effectiveness flap develop a set surgical...
