Project Title: Interactive effects of elevated salinity and heatwave on freshwater zooplankton Summary: Zooplankton are key components for maintaining freshwater ecosystem functioning, however, is being disturbed by simultaneously or sequentially occurring multiple stressors. But our ability to predict community and ecosystem response to multiple stressors is limited, especially for impacts of sequential stressors. I propose to investigate how different sequence and time intervals of two sequential stressors (i.e. acute thermal stress and high chloride ion concentration) influence zooplankton community response, such as species composition and biomass. This project will broaden our understanding of the effects of multiple stressors and, consequently, improve our ability to predict the impacts of environmental stressors and prioritize conservation actions.

Troy Martin (2023)
Project Title: Examining the effects of novel de-icer alternatives on freshwater zooplankton communities and aquatic trophic interactions Summary: Road de-icers have been used for a long time to ensure safe roads, and humans have mostly used sodium chloride (NaCl). Ontario alone uses 3-5 million tonnes of salt per year. As more research has been done, we have come to realize that NaCl is toxic to some individuals and communities at low levels (120mg/L) over long periods. Due to this, new de-icers have been made in an attempt to limit NaCl use and increase use of other chloride salts and organic compounds, while still keeping the roads safe for drivers. My research will evaluate these new de-icer alternatives to see what the toxic effects are to lake communities of zooplankton using a mesocosm experiment. Email: [email protected] |

Carrie Ewins (2022)
Project Title: Exploring the influences of turbidity and nutrients on freshwater zooplankton community structure Summary: Human activities such as agriculture, mining, urban development, and the presence of roads are accelerating the delivery of sediments to lakes, so much so, that influxes of sediments in lakes comprise one of the most widespread stressors to aquatic ecosystems. In addition, human activities such as agriculture, urban development, and industry cause accelerated nutrient inputs (particularly phosphorus and nitrogen) to lakes. My project investigates how phytoplankton and zooplankton communities respond to water quality changes driven by these two stressors (suspended sediments and nutrients). I was fortunate enough to conduct a mesocosm experiment at the Queen’s University Biological Station during the summer of 2021, even with COVID-19 restricting much research. Results and findings coming soon (i.e. in the next 8 months)! |

Lisa Cicchetti (2022)
Project Title: Evolved tolerance to road salt among wild populations of Daphnia Summary: When snow and ice melt, de-icing road salts are carried downhill with runoff water. This polluted water travels through our watersheds and into lakes, increasing the salt concentration of our freshwater resources. This process is known as salinization and impacts many key aquatic species, including Daphnia, zooplankton crustaceans. Daphnia are capable of rapidly evolving to environmental change, and therefore, may be adapting to road salt pollution in their natural habitats. This could lead to evolutionary trade-offs or changes to ecosystem dynamics. My experiment includes spatial and temporal sampling of Daphnia populations with varying histories of road salt exposure. I will test the salt tolerances of these populations to investigate if Daphnia are adapting to salinization of their freshwater habitats. Email: [email protected] |

Anna Beckett (2021)
Multiple stressors of urbanization, agriculture, climate warming and invasive species may be responsible for declining aquatic conditions in Lake Simcoe. My research aims to investigate how the individual and co-occurring effects of road salt with invasive predator presence is affecting zooplankton body size and abundance. These findings will help better understand the effects of multiple stressors on aquatic life and give further insight into regulating safe levels of road salt application with the consideration for the health of aquatic life.

My project focuses on preventing the overland dispersal of aquatic invasive species. More specifically, I will investigate the efficacy of decontamination procedures to eliminate attached aquatic invasive species from recreational watercraft and equipment, prior to transport to other sites. The results of my study could help strengthen wetland conservation efforts and protect minimally-impacted environments from potential invasions. Email: [email protected] |

Road salt is causing chloride concentrations in lakes to increase, and this is likely harmful to aquatic organisms including zooplankton. Changes to zooplankton abundance or species composition will reverberate throughout lake food webs and may impact the quality of services we receive from lakes. I conducted a mesocosm experiment testing chloride concentrations combined with warming temperatures as part of a global experiment.

Tonnes of road salt are used each year, finding their way into our freshwater lakes and harming the zooplankton that live there. Chloride might be more hazardous in low nutrient lakes, where food availability may be too low to provide the energy needed to counteract salinity increases. I conducted a mesocosm experiment looking at the combined effects of chloride and nutrients on freshwater zooplankton communities as part of a global initiative studying the effects of road salt across regions.
