Studies across North America and the World

The long-term data available from Oneida Lake is invaluable for documenting changes associated with invasives with lakes around the world to deduce general trends. Many of the projects are through the Global Lakes Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON). As a site member of GLEON, CBFS is partnered in several projects that benefit from comparative approaches to limnology and lake – watershed interactions. Several GLEON projects using Oneida data were active in 2024, see below. These projects provide important insights into the structure and function of lake ecosystems worldwide. To facilitate this use, we have made 10 datasets available (walleye, yellow perch, gillnet catches, trawl catches, limnology, phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, ice cover, dreissenid mussels) through the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (www/knb.org) data archiving system and update these data sets each year. In addition, Rudstam works with collaborators in China who build upon work done at CBFS by visiting Chinese scholars.
