Invasive Hitchhikers: Catching a Ride on Lake Currents
 Recent research led by Drs. Dima Beletsky (CIGLR), Raisa Beletsky (CIGLR), and Ed Rutherford (GLERL) has shed new light on how invasive species spread in the Great Lakes. Using a computer model, the team was able to predict how lake currents move Eurasian ruffe, a currently-spreading Great Lakes invader, and golden mussel, a potential invader that has not yet been introduced to the Great Lakes. Their research shows that lake currents are an important mode of dispersal for invasive species and emphasize the importance of early detection of new introductions. READ MORE
