    Walleye and yellow perch resource use in large lakes invaded by spiny water fleas and zebra mussels

    Walleye (Sander vitreus; WAE) and yellow perch (Perca flavescens; YEP; collectively percids) are freshwater fishes threatened by multiple stressors, including aquatic invasive species. Zebra mussels (Dreissena po...

    A Framework for Evaluating Heterogeneity and Landscape-Level Impacts of Non-native Aquatic Species

    Non-native species are a major component of global environmental change, and aquatic systems are especially vulnerable to non-native species impacts. Much of the research on aquatic non-native species impact h...
