Research Webinar: Plankton in Lake Champlain—The Adventures of Captain Fishhook Waterflea (and other invasive species)
Lake Champlain invasive species over the past 30+ years include the zebra mussel, spiny waterflea and fishhook waterflea to name only a few. The Lake Champlain Research Institute has studied these invasions and asked questions such as: What are the impacts on native communities? Do communities recover from an invasion? Do invaders persist? In this webinar, Tim Mihuc will explore these issues through the lens of "The Adventures of Captain Fishhook Waterflea," a short story about Lake Champlain.
Tim Mihuc is a professor of environmental science at SUNY Plattsburgh where he studies aquatic ecology and invertebrate community dynamics, invasive species, and food web dynamics. He serves as the associate director of Lake Champlain Sea Grant and the director of the Lake Champlain Research Institute.
Participants should expect approximately 30 minutes of presentation, which will be recorded, followed by a facilitated, 30-minute Q&A period. This webinar is a part of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant Research Webinar Series.
