Mining and e-waste recycling influence the spatial distribution of technology-critical elements, but not rare earth elements, in boreal lakes

This study examines the spatial distribution of technology-critical elements and rare earth elements in boreal lakes near a mining area, finding that some TCEs follow pollution patterns while REEs are geologically sourced.

Live fast and die young: walleye populations adapt their life cycle to degraded lakes of the Canadian clay belt.

This study compares walleye populations in degraded and non-degraded lakes, finding that young-of-the-year grow faster in degraded lakes due to abundant zooplankton, but adult mortality compromises population stability.
