River connectivity increases the diversity of fish communities in gravel pit lakes
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, Volume 152, Issue 5, Page 550-576, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Objective Off‐channel floodplain features are important components of a river system that provide habitat and boost regional species pools, but river–floodplain connectivity is disrupted by anthropogenic activities. The Campbell Lakes in Harrison, Ohio, are formerly isolated gravel pits along the Whitewater River and are connected to the river

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Forage fishes are a critical food web link in marine ecosystems, forming surface‐level forage fish aggregations (FFAs) that represent a concentrated source of available prey for surface‐ and shallow‐foraging marine predators. We used hierarchical Bayesian models to examine the oceanographic drivers of forage fish community distributions from bottom ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 706-722, July 2023., 2023 We surveyed eelgrass fishes in the Drakes Estero of Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California by using environmental DNA. We also performed a literature review and seined fishes at one site in the estuary to identify the local and regional species pool.

Overlooked Invaders? Ecological Impacts of Non‐Game, Native Transplant Fishes in the United States
Fisheries, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 62-71, February 2023., 2023 Nonnative fishes can cause ecological impacts as invasive species, but identifying which nonnative species have harmful impacts is critical to prioritizing management and policy responses. Here, we characterized the state of knowledge on the impacts of a possibly overlooked group of invasive species in the United States: non‐game native transplant ...

Development and validation of two environmental DNA assays for American Eel (Anguilla rostrata)
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 175-190, January 2023., 2023 We developed and validated two species‐specific qPCR markers to detect American Eel environmental DNA. Each marker was highly specific (no amplification using 124 differing spp.) and sensitive (LOD and LOQ values of 2.8‐50 copies) to American Eel DNA. In‐situ testing of water samples collected from 35 sites on the East Coast revealed that sites (n = 11)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 1193-1203, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Migratory freshwater fishes are those that must access discrete habitats to complete their life cycles. Freshwater fish migrations occur around the world and provide numerous ecosystem services for humans and natural systems; however, many migratory species are in decline globally.

Microplastics in freshwater fishes: Occurrence, impacts and future perspectives
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 467-488, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are small, plastic particles of various shapes, sizes and polymers. Although well studied in marine systems, their roles and importance in freshwater environments remain uncertain. Nevertheless, the restricted ranges and variable traits of freshwater fishes result in their communities being important receptors and strong ...
