Virtual Issue: Experimental Lakes Area
A recent editorial (Beisner, 2012) drew attention to the important contribution that studies as part of the Experimental Lakes Area programme in Canada have made to freshwater plankton ecology. Some of these studies, on a range of topics, have been important contributions to the Journal of Plankton Research (Healey 1983; Fee et al. 1987; Sterner 1998; Davies et al. 2003; Paterson et al 2011). This collection highlights these papers.
