Ruth Briland and Stuart Ludsin recently published work with colleagues from Defiance College and Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Their article, which will come out in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Great Lakes Research, provides an analysis of the nutrient status of Lake Erie using a Planktonic Index of Biotic Integrity (P-IBI). Find the article here: Ten+ years gone: Continued degradation of offshore planktonic communities in the U.S. waters of Lake Erie's western and central basins (2003-2013).
