Changes in lake temperature lead to shifts in

spawning phenology
Ashley LaRoque & Dr. Gretchen JA Hansen
Global Temperature Change

 Models predict increasing


change in air temperatures
Background

➢ Freshwater lakes are highly


responsive to change
➢ Thermal requirements are critical
bottlenecks
➢ Spawning is temperature cued

Methods
➢ Process-Guided Deep Learning Model of lake temperature
➢ Thermal guild classification
○ Cold-fall
○ Cool-spring
○ Warm-summer
➢ Average spawning temperature of each guild
○ 5ºC
○ 8.9ºC
○ 18ºC

➢ Used earliest date in which each temperature was


reached to analyze change and subsequent trends

Spatial Distribution of Change
But why does a change in spawning

phenology matter?
Conclusion

➢ Changes in spawning phenology can lead to:


➢ Food mismatch
➢ Smaller size class
➢ Lower survival
➢ Productivity loss
➢ Recruitment failure
