   FIG. A1. Schematic of a single mesocosm array. Small circles represent 1 m diameter mesocosms. The angle between adjacent pools and the center of the source lake was 60˚. Inoculation treatments were randomly assigned to one pool in each distance treatment and this entire array was replicated at seven lakes. The directional orientation (relative to due north) of the mesocosm array was randomized at each lake. Schematic is not drawn to scale. All mesocosms were greater than 500 m from other ephemeral and permanent water bodies.
