Poster Description

Benthic invertebrates are a key component of the Lake Champlain food web. Previous work investigated benthic invertebrate densities in Burlington Bay, but little is known about trends throughout Lake Champlain. We assessed the spatial variability of benthic invertebrate communities across depth, both within and between Lake Champlain's distinct basins. Community composition changed with depth, while distribution and biomass differ significantly within and between basins. These findings will continue to inform ongoing research on food web dynamics throughout the Lake Champlain ecosystem.
