    P1: GIM TJ1095-03 TJ-AEM.cls May 27, 2004 9:29 Morphometric factors in the formation of Great Lakes coastal wetlands C. E. Herdendorf Department of Geological Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA; E-mail: [email protected] The Great Lakes basins were carved from ancient river valleys by continental ice sheets that receded from the region less than 10,000 years ago. Not only did the glaciers create the basins now holding the lakes, but they are responsible for many of the shallow depressions in the coastal margin that have since developed as coastal wetlands of various types. For the past four thousand years, coastal processes in the lakes have further modified the shore topography to form embayments, coastal lagoons, estuaries, deltas, and solution basins where thousands of hectares of wetlands have become established. This paper will explore the origin of the various morphometric forms which these wetlands have taken and their characteristic hydrologic processes. Keywords: estuaries, geomorphology, karst, lacustrine, palustrine, physiography Physiography of the Great Lakes gin of the waning ice sheet retreated northward into the newly carved lake basins, some of which were dammed The five adjoining Laurentian Great Lakes— by glacial end moraines.

  • Amphibians and Reptiles of the Erie Islands
    No. 1 HACKBERRY BUTTERFLY LIFE HISTORY 11 AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF THE ERIE ISLANDS THOMAS H. LANGLOIS Department of Zoology and Entomology, The Ohio State University, Columbus 10 Near the western end of Lake Erie, there is a series of islands which were so notable for their snakes when the Jesuit explorer, Bonnecampe, visited the region on October 5, 1749, that he referred to them as "Les lies aux Serpentes" (The islands of snakes). A French soldier (J.C.B.), enroute from Presqu'ile, near the eastern end of Lake Erie, to Detroit, spent the night of July 21, 1754, on one of these islands, and recorded in his journal (1941) that his party killed 130 rattle- snakes before they dared to sleep. The map made by Chaussegros de Lery on August 4, 1754, bears the name used by Bonnecampe, but the map made in 1755 by dAnville and the map made in 1766 by Mitchel label them "Les lies aux Serpens a sonette" (The islands of rattlesnakes). The following description of Lake Erie was published in 1806, in the first American edition of Brooke's Gazetteer. It suggests that Lake Erie was more noted for the snakes of its islands than for its geographic features. Erie, Lake, in North America, lies between 41° and 43° N. Lat. and 79° and 84° W. Lon. It is 290 miles long, and 40 in its broadest part. The islands and banks towards its W. end are so infested with rattlesnakes, as to render it dangerous to land on them. The lake is covered near the banks of the islands with a large pond lily; the leaves of which are thickly spread on the surface of the water to an extent of many acres; on these, in the summer, lie myriads of watersnakes basking in the sun.

  • Shoreline Algae of Western Lake Erie1
    THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE Vol. 70 SEPTEMBER, 1970 ' No. 5 SHORELINE ALGAE OF WESTERN LAKE ERIE1 RACHEL COX DOWNING2 Graduate Studies in Botany, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio J/.3210 ABSTRACT The algae of western Lake Erie have been extensively studied for more than 70 years, but, until the present study by the author, conducted between April and October, 1967, almost nothing was known of the shoreline as a specific algal habitat. A total of 61 taxa were identified from the shorelines. The importance of this habitat is very clear from the results of this study, for, of the 61 taxa found, 39 are new records for western Lake Erie, and one, Arnoldiella conchophila Miller, appears to be a new United States record, having been previously reported only from central Russia. Western Lake Erie has been the site of extensive phycological research since 1898. After some 70 years of algal study, it would be reasonable to assume that all the various habitats would have been thoroughly studied and reported on, but when reports of research were compiled by Dr. Clarence E. Taft for a taxonomic summary, it became apparent that the shoreline had been neglected. Considerable information on the algae of the ponds, marshes, swamps, quarry ponds, open lake, inlets, ditches, and canals has been reported on by individuals and by agencies doing research, and by the algae classes at the Franz Theodore Stone Laboratory, Put-in-Bay, Ohio. Papers containing this information are by Jennings (1900), Pieters (1902), Snow (1902), Stehle (1923), Tiffany and Ahlstrom (1931), Ahlstrom and Tiffany (1934), Tiffany (1934 and 1937), Chandler (1940), Taft (1940 and 1942), Daily (1942 and 1945), Taft (1945 and 1946), Wood (1947), Curl (1951), McMilliam (1951), Verduin (1952), Wright (1955), Normanden and Taft (1959), Taft (1964a and 1964b), and Taft and Kishler (1968).

  • Night Desertion by Nesting Common Terns by Nelson Marshall 1
    March, 1942 Vol. 54, No. 1 THE WILSON BULLETIN 2s NIGHT DESERTION BY NESTING COMMON TERNS BY NELSON MARSHALL 1 N recent years there has been widespread nesting failure among the I colonies of the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo hirundo) in the island region of western Lake Erie. Though the basic causesremain unknown, a very striking behavior associated with this failure has come to my attention. This is the mass night desertion of the nests by the adults as observed on Starve Island during the past three seasons. The existence of nesting colonies on Starve and neighboring islands for many years indicates that nesting has probably been successful in the past. The extent of this successis unknown but the descriptions of Lynds Jones (1912) and E. S. Thomas (1927) indicate large colonies with many nests and chicks. A resume (Table 1) of colony conditions, as observed by C. F. Walker and myself, is presented beyond. During the course of this study I have received valuable aid from many associates at the F. T. Stone Laboratory. I am very grateful to all of them, especially to Dr. Charles F. Walker for his guidance and to my wife, Grace Terry Marshall, for help in preparing this paper. The night desertion of the nests as observed on Starve Island is a group behavior phenomenon with characteristics which may be por- trayed by an account of my first overnight stay there (July 3-4, 1939). I entered my canvas blind at 7:30 P.M. The sun started to set at 8:00 P.M.

    Vol. 28, No. 1 Spring 1995 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST PUBLISHEDBY THE MICHIGAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY --- -- 1995 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST 55 GROUND BEETLESOF ISLANDS IN THE WESTERN BASIN OF LAKEERIE AND THE ADJACENT MAINLAND (COLEOPTERA:CARABIDAE, INCLUDING CICINDELlNI) K. W. WiIl1.2,F. F. Purrington1, D. J. Horn' ABSTRACT We report 241 species representing 63 genera of ground beetles from the islands of the western basin of Lake Erie and selected mainland sites from a 1991-93 survey, plus specimens examined in public and private collections, and previously published sources. Most species are generally distributed; however, a restricted population of Sphaeroderus schaumii schaumii we redis- covered is no doubt imperiled. Comparison of wing morphotype fr~uencies of the Lake Erie island species with mainland populations from studies in Ohio and Michigan su~port a hypothesis that vagility is of increased import in the islands. RegressIOn and correlation analysis show a positive relationship between species number and island area, no correlation between species num- ber and distance from the mainland and an improved fit for a multiple regres- sion which includes collecting effort. The beetle fauna of the islands of Lake Erie has not been studied inten- sively. Inventories of other terrestrial invertebrates such as Lepidoptera (Nault et al. 1989),spiders (Beatty 1988)and isopods (Dexter et al. 1988)l1ave been published. Lake Erie's western basin archipelago contains 22 islands which are of land-bridge ori~ (Fig 1). Water filled the Erie basin ca. 4000 years b.p. isolating pre-eXlsting dolomitic and limestone hills as islands (Forsyth 1988). Oak and maple forest, typical of the region, were most likely predominant on the islands.
