"Researchers watched the feeding habits of lake trout at the IISD Experimental Lakes Area in northwestern Ontario over an 11-year span and found the fish can quickly adapt their behaviour — moving to deeper and cooler parts of the lake to feed — as water temperatures rise."

(French-language article) « La truite réagit rapidement aux changements de la température de l'eau. Aussitôt que la température devient trop élevée, le poisson quitte les eaux peu profondes, et biologiquement plus productives pour s'aventurer dans les parties les plus profondes du lac où la nourriture se fait plus rare, explique Matthew Guzzo. Et lorsqu'un prédateur de cette envergure est contraint de changer de régime, cela a des conséquences non seulement sur lui, mais sur toute la chaîne alimentaire. »

"The Lake Matano discoveries had special significance for Dr. Sherry Schiff in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Waterloo. Her long history of studying freshwater habitats, including those at the International Institute for Sustainable Development — Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) in northern Ontario, helped her formulate a hypothesis."

"For the month of July, people can tweet at the IISD-ELA Twitter account with any questions they may have for Experimental Lakes Area scientists with the hashtag #ELA140, whether it’s about climate change, different pollutants, invasive species, or what exactly happens at the ELA, a natural laboratory made up of 58 small lakes and their watersheds near Vermilion Bay. The catch, of course, is the researchers have to respond in 140 characters or less."
