However the e cological consequences of this increase are not well understood. DOC from terrestrial sources stain lake waters a dark brown color\, and can have st rong effects on the physical and biological structure of lake ecosystems. This occurs through its associated light and heat attenuating properties\, which reduce thermocline depths\, and thus the area of light\, warm\, and well-oxygenated habitat in DOC-rich lakes. Recent work has shown that fis h productivity decreases along a gradient of increasing DOC\, however the mechanisms behind this have not been fully explored. Here\, Nicola demonst rates potential mechanisms for this loss in productivity by determining ho w DOC affects zoobenthos\, a primary prey item for many fish\, as well as how DOC affects fish feeding efficiency and life history strategies.\n\nEv eryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Pl ease join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n  \n\n \n DTSTART:20160406T170000Z DTEND:20160406T170000Z LOCATION:P-117\, Parasitology Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9 X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Characterization of the effects of flubendazole\, a benzimidazole anthelmintic\, on filarial nematodes URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defense-charact erization-effects-flubendazole-benzimidazole-anthelmintic-filarial-nematod es-259484 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
