By Marshall Lee Weimer Before surveying muskrats along the St. Lawrence River as a master’s student, Alex Kua didn’t know they existed. The aquatic rodent quickly captured his attention. Little was known then about the impacts muskrats have on their environment, said Kua, now a researcher at the State University of New York. He wanted to know how muskrats shape their surrounding plant communities. A greater understanding of their impact could help guide understanding of their dependence on Great Lakes water levels and their related ecosystem roles. Better understanding the connection between water levels and regulation practices could improve conservation projects in the region.
