Knowledge of thermal limits of fishes is essential for predicting spatial distributions and understanding future response of these organisms to changing environmental conditions.

Understanding the conditions that enable or constrain success in environmental governance is crucial for developing effective interventions and adapting approaches.

Toxic cyanobacterial blooms threaten freshwaters worldwide but have proven difficult to predict.

Rapid transitions in ecosystem structure, or regime shifts, are a hallmark of alternative stable states.

Removing established invasive species reveals unexpected indirect connections between invasive species and other community members.

Analyzing over 30 years of highly variable P loading and in-lake data, NTL scientists developed P load reduction targets needed for improving water quality in the lakes.

Estimating the flux of CO₂ from lakes is important for understanding the role of these ecosystems in regional and global carbon budgets.

Modifications to habitat structures along with direct human impacts, such as increased angling effort, may drive changes in game fish ecology.

Shallow fertile lakes characteristically are turbid with dense algae and few submersed macrophytes when benthivorous fish such as carp are overabundant.
