  1. Climate-driven decreases in body size have been documented for a variety of taxa and proposed as a universal response to climate change. However, empirical support among taxa, including fishes, has been mixed, with some fishes growing larger at higher temperatures, and causal mechanisms for faster or slower growth under debate. We simulated effects of climate warming on bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) growth and consumption and used linear regression and boosted regression trees (BRTs) to model length-at-age for bluegill from Michigan lakes from 1945 to 2019. Bioenergetics models showed bluegill growth and consumption both increase under climate warming. In contrast, linear regression revealed that bluegill ages 1–4 decreased (–0.20 to –0.55 mm/year) in mean length-at-age and that ages 5–8 increased or did not statistically change. BRTs demonstrated that growth had a unimodal relationship with surface water temperature and degree days, peaking at intermediate values. This mismatch between simulations and empirical data may be from increased recruitment leading to increased food limitation at higher temperatures. Future research should empirically test this hypothesis and assess the consequences for ecosystem functions and services.

  2. The LAGOS-US LAKE DEPTH v1.0 module (hereafter, called DEPTH) contains in situ measurements of lake depth for a subset of all lakes (n = 17,675) in the conterminous U.S. > 1 ha (3.7% of 479,950) that are in the LAGOS-US LOCUS v1.0 data module (Smith et al. 2021). All 17,675 lakes in DEPTH have a maximum depth value and 6,137 lakes have a mean depth. DEPTH includes approximately 65 data sources obtained from community, government, and university monitoring programs, as well as academic reports and commercial websites. DEPTH includes lake identifiers, lake location, lake area, lake depth (both maximum and mean depth when available), source information, and data flags. The unique lake identifier (lagoslakeid) for all lakes is the same one used in LAGOS-US LOCUS v1.0.
