It’s been incredibly cold this week, but our group has been staying warm! Our sampling for February is officially complete and we’re looking forward to March

How many lab members does it take to pull up one of our moorings? The answer may shock you. We had a fun Friday trip to service some of our sensors today!

!!New paper, fresh off the (electronic) press!!🚨🪱🦪 We found that quagga mussels reduce Great Lakes sediment mixing BUT that may not measurably alter geochemistry (in regions with low POM). Check it out here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @BioLimLab @KatsevL @UmdLLO

Invasive mussels reduce community bioturbation but do not affect oxygen penetration or nutrient...

Invasive zebra and quagga (dreissenid) mussels have disrupted nutrient cycling and benthic macrofauna communities in the Laurentian Great Lakes and other invaded ecosystems. Dreissenids are now th...

Show as ya go! Last week, Bio Lim Lab wundergrad Drew Check and MS student Levi Feucht presented preliminary data on the seasonal eating habits of MN game fish. Both are seeing seasonal shifts in diet and lipid stores across species. 🐟
