Influence of Diporeia Density on Diet Composition, Relative Abundance, and Energy Density of Planktivorous Fishes in Southeast Lake Michigan (2005, background): “Management actions to limit nutrient inputs and to control alewife and sea lamprey populations have led to the restoration of some native species, but not others (Koonce et al. 1996; Madenjian et al. 2002; Bronte et al. 2003; Mills et al. 2003).”
Deepwater demersal fish community collapse in Lake Huron (2008, background): “Predation by restored lake trout populations in Lake Superior is thought to be responsible for recent declines in rainbow smelt abundance (Bronte et al. 2003).”
Ontogenetic niche shifts and resource partitioning of lake trout morphotypes (2009, unknown): “Depth partitioning is a broadly accepted difference among lake trout morphotypes; however, these results are primarily based on collections of large trout (Moore and Bronte 2001; Bronte et al. 2003; Zimmerman et al. 2006), and conclusions are biased toward the ecology of later life history stages.”
Adverse Effects of Alewives on Laurentian Great Lakes Fish Communities (2008, background): “The abundance of alewives in Lake Superior has been sufficiently low that adverse effects on the fish community there have not been apparent (Bronte et al. 2003).”
Diel vertical migration in the Lake Superior pelagic community. I. Changes in vertical migration of coregonids in response to varying predation risk (2006, background): “Native lake trout represent the dominant native predator in Lake Superior, with the deepwater subspecies the siscowet (Salvelinus namaycush siscowet) being several times more abundant than the shallow-water form (Salvelinus namaycush namaycush) (Bronte et al. 2003).”
How Systematic Age Underestimation Can Impede Understanding of Fish Population Dynamics: Lessons Learned from a Lake Superior Cisco Stock (2008, background): “This recruitment pattern has been described as ‘‘poor’’ (Bronte et al. 2003) and ‘‘very poor’’ (Hoff 2004).”
Phenotypic Diversity of Lake Trout in Great Slave Lake: Differences in Morphology, Buoyancy, and Habitat Depth (2006, methodology): “Depth strata for the gill-net sets were chosen based on known depths of lake trout forms in Lake Superior (Moore and Bronte 2001; Bronte et al. 2003).”
If Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus is ‘the most diverse vertebrate’, what is the lake charr Salvelinus namaycush? (2016, background): “Siscowet diet was more diverse than lean lake charr diet, and diet overlap was low (data summarized by Kitchell et al. 2000), to provide further evidence of niche partitioning between these two morphs (Bronte et al. 2003).”
Changes in Benthic Invertebrate Communities of South Bay, Lake Huron Following Invasion by Zebra Mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), and Potential Effects on Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) Diet and Growth (2006, background): “The lake whitefish has supported a fishery since the 1800s and is by far the most commercially important fish in the Great Lakes region (Madenjian et al. 2002, Bronte et al. 2003).”
An Ecosystem Perspective on Re-establishing Native Deepwater Fishes in the Laurentian Great Lakes (2009, background): “Effects of these interactions on population abundance may depend on the initial abundances of alewives, ciscoes, and lake trout, thereby making stocking densities and selection of reintroduction sites important issues for native fish re-establishment (Bronte et al. 2003b, 2007).”
