• Demography and Substrate Affinity of the Round Goby (Neogobius melanostomus) in Hamilton Harbour (2010, background): “Round gobies were first detected in Lake Ontario in 1998 (Mills et al., 2003) and by June 2002 they were one of the most frequently caught species in the littoral zone in Hamilton Harbour (Balshine et al.”
• Modeling the growth response of Cladophora in a Laurentian Great Lake to the exotic invader Dreissena and to lake warming (2008, background): “The decadal-scale response of Cladophora tissue P quota (QP) to these counteracting pressures in the Great Lakes is not known.”
• 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 lack of changes for some groups is also generally consistent with findings across the Great Lakes where some groups do not seem to be affected by presence of zebra mussels in all habitats (Nalepa et al. 1998, Nalepa et al. 2003, Owens and Dittman 2003, Dermott and Kerec 1997).”
• Influence of Diporeia Density on Diet Composition, Relative Abundance, and Energy Density of Planktivorous Fishes in Southeast Lake Michigan (2005, background): “…for example, the abundance and condition of lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis declined following the disappearance of Diporeia (Hoyle et al. 2003; Mills et al. 2003), and major changes in the diets of lake whitefish and slimy sculpin Cottus cognatus were observed (Owens and Dittman 2003).”
• Recruitment Variability of Alewives in Lake Michigan (2005, background): “Reduction in phosphorus loadings to Lake Ontario during the 1970s and 1980s resulted in more than a 60% decrease in spring TP (averaging across both nearshore and offshore waters) during 1970–1990 ( Mills et al. 2003 ).”
• Changes in Global Economies and Trade: the Potential Spread of Exotic Freshwater Bivalves (2007, background): “In the late 1960s and early 1970s the water quality of Lake Ontario was so degraded that many doubted it would be possible to restore this ecosystem (Mills et al. 2003).”
• Worldwide status of burbot and conservation measures (2010, background): “Burbot have been removed from some lakes in Ontario as part as part of ‘rough fish’ removal programmes (Smedley 1998).”
• Adverse Effects of Alewives on Laurentian Great Lakes Fish Communities (2008, background): “Between 1965 and 1990, alewife abundances in Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Ontario declined substantially ( Madenjian et al. 2002 ; Mills et al.”
