title: Morphometry of Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) varies with lake dissolved organic carbon concentration

description: Inter- and intra-population trait polymorphisms related to foraging and locomotion in benthic and pelagic habitats have been observed in many fishes. Researchers have found that diet, habitat, visibility, and lake chemical components such as DOC are all associated with how different traits may present within fish species (Bentzen and Mcphail 1984; Ehlinger and Wilson 1988; Drinan <i>et al.</i> 2012; Bartels <i>et al.</i> 2016; Caves <i>et al.</i> 2017). The concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the water strongly influences the productivity of benthic and pelagic food chains in lakes , suggesting that DOC might impose selection on these traits and lead to classic benthic-foraging “littoral” forms at low DOC concentrations and pelagic-foraging “limnetic” forms at high DOC concentrations. We tested this hypothesis via geometric morphometric and meristic analyses of body, fin, eye, and gill raker morphometry of Bluegill sunfish (<i>Lepomis macrochirus</i>, Centrarchidae) from fourteen lakes with DOC concentrations ranging from 4 to 24 mg L<sup>-1</sup>. These lakes were in close proximity to each other in northern Wisconsin, straddling the drainage divide between the Mississippi River and Laurentian Great Lakes watersheds. Many of the traits that we considered were significantly related to DOC concentration, and in most cases the sign (though not always the magnitude) of these relationships was consistent across the two watersheds. Fish from lakes with high DOC concentrations tended to have deeper bodies, deeper and shorter caudal peduncles, shorter and shallower heads, and perhaps larger eyes. Their pectoral fins tended to be inserted more anteriorly and perhaps vertically; pectoral fin length also varied with DOC, but the direction of this effect differed between the two watersheds. The gill rakers on the first branchial arch were longer and more widely spaced at high DOC, but the number of gill rakers did not vary with DOC. While many of the traits that we quantified were significantly related to DOC concentration, the directions of these relationships did not match with the predicted littoral-limnetic patterns. This may be because [MSt3] [CB4] DOC has complex effects on the fitness landscape for foraging and locomotion traits; because high DOC favors a littoral-limentic generalist rather than a limnetic specialist; or because the littoral-limnetic morphometric dichotomy is less clear and universal than is commonly thought.

title: GCE-LTER Altamaha River Plant Community Monitoring Survey in October 2013

description: A quadrat survey was conducted in October 2013 to measure the species and size distribution of plants at 3 sampling sites on the creekbank of the Altamaha River. The sites were chosen to capture the transition from Spartina alterniflora to Spartina cynosuroides (site SCSA) and the transition from Spartina cynosuroides to Zizaniopsis miliacea (sites ZSC1 and ZSC2). The quadrats were established as permanent plots in October 2012 by placing PVC stakes along the creekbank at each site. Plots were evenly spaced, but were not randomly located because the goal was to start with mixtures of vegetation in most of the plots, and vegetation was distributed in patches along the creekbanks. Therefore, these plots provide useful measures of vegetation change, but are not a random sample of the vegetation at the site. Plots will be replaced each year as necessary to replace any lost to disturbance. The plots were visually surveyed and the species, shoot height, and flowering status was recorded individually for each shoot over 10 cm in height present in each plot. Observations from plots exhibiting signs of disturbance were noted in the data set. This survey will be repeated annually to assess changes in plant distribution and biomass in relation to environmental changes documented by other GCE LTER monitoring efforts.

title: Disturbance to permanent monitoring plots at GCE sites 1-10, from 2001 to 2020.

description: We established permanent vegetation monitoring plots in creekbank and midmarsh at GCE sites 1-10 in 2000. A dedicated Juncus zone was later added at sites 10 and 9. Starting in 2001, when we recorded plant sizes, we also noted any disturbance to the plots. Plots were scored as normal (no visible disturbance), disturbed by wrack (wrack present in plots and stems dead or broken), disturbed by snails (&gt;100 Littoraria per square meter and plant biomass low), disturbed by pigs (animal trail through the plot, this mostly happened at site 8 mid-marsh), initial slump (plot at the creekbank sliding into the creek based on movement of pvc poles or formation of a crevasse), and terminal slump (plot had slid far enough down that vegetation had drowned). Plots that experienced terminal slump or could not be found for any reason were scored as lost. Lost plots were replaced with a new plot in the same general area with the plot code incremented by 10. For example if plot 3 was lost, it was replaced by 13, and then in turn by 23.

title: Fall 2016 plant monitoring survey -- shoot height and flowering status of plants in permanent plots at GCE sampling sites 1-10

description: A quadrat survey was conducted in October 2016 to measure the species and size distribution of plants at 10 GCE LTER sampling sites. The quadrats were established as permanent plots at GCE sampling sites in October 2000 by placing wooden stakes at random locations across two nominal zones at each site, designated based on marsh structure (creekbank and high marsh). New plots were added each year as necessary to replace those lost due to catastrophic wrack disturbance or creek bank erosion. The plots were visually surveyed and the species, shoot height, and flowering status was recorded individually for each shoot over 10 cm in height present in each plot. Observations from plots exhibiting signs of disturbance were noted in a separate data set (PLT-GCEM-1801). This survey will be repeated annually to assess changes in plant distribution and biomass in relation to environmental changes documented by other GCE LTER monitoring efforts.

title: Fall 2016 plant monitoring survey -- biomass calculated from shoot height and flowering status of plants in permanent plots at GCE sampling sites 1-10

description: The biomass of plants surveyed in permanent plots at 10 GCE LTER sampling sites in October 2016 was estimated based on allometric relationships between biomass and shoot height and flowering status derived for each site, zone, and species in October 2002 and October 2008. Biomass was calculated for dominant species, including Spartina alterniflora, S. cynosuroides, Juncus roemerianus, and Zizaniopsis miliacea, as well as rarer species including Scirpus spp, Panicum spp. and Typha angustifolia. This data set is based on GCE plant monitoring survey data set PLT-GCEM-1611a, and allometric relationships were based on GCE data sets PLT-GCEM-0211b, PLT-GCEM-0711, and PLT-GCEM-2011.

title: Fall 2019 grasshopper monitoring -- mid-marsh grasshopper abundance and species diversity at eight GCE LTER sampling sites

description: Grasshopper abundance and species diversity were investigated at eight sampling sites within the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems (GCE) LTER study area in August 2019. Visual surveys were conducted along 8 2m by 10m transects randomly allocated within the mid-marsh zone at each site. All grasshoppers observed within each transect were counted and identified to species, if possible. This survey was conducted as part of the GCE invertebrate monitoring program, and will be performed annually to assess long-term changes in relative species abundances across the GCE study area.

title: Yearly survey of barnacle settlement in mid-marsh and creekbank plots at GCE LTER study sites in October 2019

description: To characterize spatial variation in barnacle recruitment within two zones in the salt marsh, the mid-marsh and creekbank, and across a gradient in salinity and distance to ocean, we deployed PVC poles to passive sample barnacle settlement. Eight poles were deployed between 4-5m apart in each marsh zone at each GCE LTER permanent monitoring site each Fall beginning in 2012. These poles were then collected the following Fall and all barnacle that settled on the poles were identified and counted on 50cm-long sections of the 8, 3/4" diameter PVC poles. Although a few other barnacle species are occur within this estuary, only two species settled on poles: Chlathamus fragilis and Balanus spp. This year Geukensia and Oysters that settled on the poles were counted and recorded.
