Research on walleye growth and warming water temperatures highlighted by Penn State News

2/26/2021

0 Comments

 
Research led by Danielle Massie (a long-overdue website congratulations on defending her MS!) has been highlighted in Penn State News. Danielle and colleagues quantified walleye annual growth rates from 1983-2015 in 61 midwestern USA lakes, and found that that increased water clarity may mediate the effect of warming water temperatures on early life growth rates. Read all the details in Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Science.

Riverscapes genetics paper highlighted in Penn State News

Dr. Shannon White's framework for the design and analysis of riverscape genetic studies – a novel bidirectional geneflow in riverscapes model – will help us understand the movements of animals in riverine ecosystems. This paper, recently published in Ecological Applications and highlighted in Penn State News, helped identify larger rivers as important movement corridors for brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in a Pennsylvania watershed.

​The lab had a great time talking with about 160 students at Gray’s Woods Elementary School about the importance of clean water and how we can tell – by looking at the critters that live in the water – whether or not a stream is healthy.

Wagner Lab research on the eastern brook trout, research led by PhD student Shannon White, made its debut in the film “Expedition Chesapeake, A Journey of Discovery,”- a film developed by the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts. The film premiered on Wednesday, 20 March in Harrisburg, PA. Emmy-award-winning naturalist Jeff Corwin is the guide on this journey - encouraging audiences to be active members of their communities in an effort to conserve and restore the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. We had a great time at the premiere and hope others check it out!
