Our work seeks to understand how these organisms fit into lake ecosystems, how invasive species alter their biotic and abiotic environments, and how long-term climate change affects species distributions. LLO researchers perform studies on food webs, production dynamics, community ecology, microbes and genomics, among many other biological topics.
