| Title | The effects of changing salinity on communities of the Great Salt Lake: A mesocosm experiment and implication for management |
| Creator | Barnes, Brian |
| Description | Salinity is a driving force for change in hypersaline community structure. The Great Salt Lake is populated at high salinities by the salt-tolerant brine shrimp (Artemia Franciscana) and brine fly (Ephydra gracilis), and lake management decisions have remarkable control of the salinity found in the various bays of the lake.
