Congratulations to honors student Eric Veitch for receiving a UMaine Centre for Undergraduate Research Fellowship to study the impacts of spruce budworm outbreaks on aquatic macroinvertebrate communities.
The RMBL reunion continues! Dr. Scott Wissinger is visiting the lab for the next 2 weeks to work on papers and talk about ideas for the next project.
We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Bobbi Peckarsky last week for the SBE seminar series. A great time was had by all!
It was an exciting and eventful summer of research in the lab. We surveyed lakes and temporary pools in Maine and Greenland, set-up a mesocosm experiment on the consequences of Hemlock decline for pond ecosystems, ran a flow disturbance experiment in stream channels, and did a series of lab experiments on the effects of road salt on trophic interactions.
