Introductionnd defy prediction. Over the past 2 decades, paradigms based upon nutrient loading, organic energy transfer, or predation have developed, and each has successfully answered important questions. Taken alone, each of these paradigms explains certain aspects of lake community dynamics but seems unable

Predator Regulation and Primary Production Along the Productivity Gradient of Temperate Lake Ecosystecological disciplines, an intense debate has taken place recently concerning whether or not the ecosystem is a meaningful ecological unit (e.g., Simberloff 1980 vs Levins and Lewontin 1980), but this has not been the case in limnology. We will argue that, although the ecosystem orientation in limno

From Picoplankton to Fish: Complex Interactions in the Great Lakes1ies regarding appropriate methods and interpretation of data are often fostered by this lack of understanding of the ecosystem as a whole. The primary production controversy is an example of this problem. .C-based estimates of primary production have been claimed to grossly underestimate actual prod

Temporal Variation in Regulation of Production in a Pelagic Food Web Model in the ability of competition theory (Slobodkin 1961; MacArthur 1969; May 1975) to explain patterns of species replacement in phytoplankton (Dugdale 1967; Tilman 1977; Tilman et al. 1981). Competition theory posits that differential rates of use of essential nutrients, relative to rates of their su

Each topic committee included knowledgeable scientists representing diverse backgrounds and perspectives. The general goal of the discussio
