RCN2010-02: Instream Flow Recommendations for the Great Lakes Basin of New York and Pennsylvania
Summary The Ecological Limits of Hydrologic Alteration (ELOHA) framework was deployed in the Great Lakes drainage of New York and Pennsylvania to develop an objective, spatially explicit process for evaluating the ecological impacts of new withdrawals of water from the tributaries of Lakes Erie, Ontario, and the upper St. Lawrence River. This effort provides the information necessary to develop and implement instream flow standards for managing the Great Lakes surface and ground-waters of New York and Pennsylvania under the terms of the Great Lakes Compact. Additional multi-state benefits include: tests of the transferability of the holistic, ELOHA-based technique being developed in the Susquehanna Basin to the Great Lakes Basin; guidance on implementation of the Great Lakes Compact in at least two states, with useful information for other states and provinces in the Great Lakes Basin (jurisdictions that are part of, or work closely with, NEAFWA, e.g. Vermont, Ontario, Quebec, Ohio); assessment and documentation of the transferability of the project methods and models that will enable other NEAFWA states to determine the utility and applicability of the approach to their states or watersheds.

Summary This research demonstrates that bats affected by White Nose Syndrome (WNS) arouse from hibernation significantly more often than healthy bats. WNS has killed millions of hibernating bats in the Northeast. The severity of cutaneous Gd infection (causative agent) correlated with the number of arousal episodes during hibernation. The increased frequency of arousal from torpor likely contributes to WNS-associated mortality, but the question of how Gd infection induces increased arousals remains unanswered.
