Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies researchers found a 'massive' amount of algal bloom in a section of the Hudson River.

The bloom, made up of the cyanobacterium microcystis, stretches from Kingston to Staatsburg. People and pets are advised to ...

Toxic algae blooms are turning Lake Erie green, choking its shoreline with foul-smelling sludge and leaving residents battling health problems as scientists warn the outbreaks are growing longer and ...

Harmful algal blooms create challenges around the globe for water quality and health risk management for humans, wildlife and pets. A team of researchers from the University of Oklahoma is leading an ...

Lake Erie has been spotted from space turning a lurid green as algae blooms across its surface, sparking warnings to "stay out of the water." The explosion in population of blue-green algae covered ...

We tested the hypothesis that calanoid copepods would adapt to extended periods of Microcystis exposure by increasing selective feeding on alternative food. Copepod (Eudiaptomus gracilis) clearance ...

While invasive zebra mussels consume small plant-like organisms called phytoplankton, researchers discovered during a long-term study that zebra mussels can actually increase Microcystis, a type of ...

Non-toxic algae is already forming on Lake Erie: you can already see it showing up from space, on some NASA satellite images. By now we know the causes of our late summer algae blooms, just like the ...

We conducted population growth experiments for 22-30 days using three species of cladocerans measuring (adult mean length (μm) ± standard error): Daphnia pulex (2413 ± 129), Moina macrocopa (1286 ± 49 ...
