Super jazzed to see this second paper out from Nicole Turner's thesis, showing differential patterns of space use in Lake Winnipeg by migrant vs. resident walleye. Also, migrants (maybe) more likely to repeat spawn... check it out! cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/... #cdnsci #LakeWinnipeg #Walleye
Distinct patterns of movement in monthly space use across Lake Winnipeg by a population of south basin walleye
Lake Winnipeg hosts North America’s second largest commercial fishery for walleye (Sander vitreus (Mitchill, 1818)); however, little is currently known regarding walleye distribution throughout the la...

Acute, static, and fluctuating ocean acidification effects on the olfactory system of the yellow shore crab, Hemigrapsus oregonensis
Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) accelerate ocean acidification (OA), which has been shown to alter olfactory behaviours in marine organisms. Coastal regions currently experience pCO2…
