An integrated approach to balance freshwater connectivity restoration and invasion risk
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Habitat fragmentation negatively affects many native migratory fish populations. However, this fragmentation can also prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species. We modified the dendritic connectivity index (DCI), a commonly used freshwater connectivity metric, to account for multiple invasive dispersal pathways in estimates of ...

Prevalence and Implications of “Must‐Kill” Angling Regulations for the Management of Invasive Fishes
Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Freshwater biodiversity is increasingly threatened by invasive species, which can disrupt native fish populations and the fisheries they support. Must‐kill regulations, which prohibit the live release of invasive fish caught by recreational anglers, are a management strategy that can be implemented to limit the negative effects of invasive ...
