The USGS Great Lakes Science Center’s Lake Ontario Biological Station is offering this grant to support research quantifying energy dynamics in the Lake Ontario food web. This grant is for the purpose of analyzing how invasive species have altered energy transfer and their ecosystem-level implications. Research will leverage a 2013 multi-national, multi-agency field effort for comprehensive data collection. Objectives include parameterizing a whole-lake food web mass balance model from primary production to piscivores. It also aims to quantify ecosystem/community effects of the deep chlorophyll layer and describe nearshore-offshore organism distribution and energy transfer, offering crucial insights into the Lake Ontario ecosystem.

| Description: | 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. |
