*Lake Champlain Sea Grant Research Webinar*

Join us for the January 31 research presentation in our spring webinar
series.

*Eating, moving, and eating again: Considering cross-habitat connectivity
and fish movement improves our understanding of Lake Champlain food webs*

*Date/Time:* Wednesday, January 31, 2024 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

*Location:* Zoom (registration required). *REGISTER HERE

*Speaker:* Justin Lesser, Postdoctoral Associate at the Rubenstein
Ecosystem Science Laboratory (University of Vermont)

*Description:* Across all ecosystems, consumers can move energy and
nutrients across space; that fish you catch in your favorite spot could
have visited 20+ favorite spots that day. By eating in one location, moving
somewhere else, and eating again, or by being eaten themselves, consumers
link habitats that otherwise might be thought of as distinct, separate
ecosystems. Lesser will discuss current preliminary work from the
Rubenstein Lab, demonstrating how applying concepts of cross-habitat
connectivity from completely different ecosystems can greatly enhance our
understanding of the rules and drivers of fish production in Lake
Champlain. The frameworks he utilized highlight consequences for lake food
web productivity under projected climate change in the Lake Champlain basin
and reveal new implications for projected ecosystem change in the face of
imminent invaders.

Hope to see you there!
