telemetry-determined habitat use informs multi-species habitat management in an urban harbour.	widespread human development has led to impairment of freshwater coastal wetlands and embayments, which provide critical and unique habitat for many freshwater fish species. this is particularly evident in the laurentian great lakes, where such habitats have been severely altered over the last century as a result of industrial activities, urbanization, dredging and infilling. in toronto harbour, extensive restoration efforts have been directed towards improving the amount and quality of aquatic ...	2017	27744518
the abiotic and biotic factors limiting establishment of predatory fishes at their expanding northern range boundaries in ontario, canada.	there is a poor understanding of the importance of biotic interactions in determining species distributions with climate change. theory from invasion biology suggests that the success of species introductions outside of their historical ranges may be either positively (biotic acceptance) or negatively (biotic resistance) related to native biodiversity. using data on fish community composition from two survey periods separated by approximately 28 years during which climate was warming, we examine ...	2015	25556555
spatiotemporal trends of mercury in walleye and largemouth bass from the laurentian great lakes region.	the risk of mercury (hg) exposure to humans and wildlife from fish consumption has driven extensive mercury analysis throughout the great lakes region since the 1970s. this study compiled fish-hg data from multiple sources in the region and assessed spatiotemporal trends of hg concentrations in two representative top predator fish species. walleye (sander vitreus) and largemouth bass (micropterus salmoides) were chosen for the trend analysis because they had more hg records (63,872) than other f ...	2011	21706250
