A Terrestrial Thermometer Using Carbonate Clumped Isotopes From Gar Scales
We present a new clumped isotope calibration relating temperature to the Δ47 composition of the bioapatite scales of gar fish (Lepisosteidae family). Modern gars live at

Fitting fangs in a finite face: A novel fang accommodation strategy in a 280-million-year-old ray-finned fish. [PDF]
Left jaws of †Brazilichthys macrognathus (DGM 1061‐P) in mesial view. Palatoquadrate sectioned to expose the fenestration of the maxilla and the fangs of the lower jaw (in red). Scale bar = 10 mm. Abstract Though Paleozoic ray‐finned fishes are considered to be morphologically conservative, we report a novel mode of fang accommodation (i.e., the ...

First record of exotic alligator gar, Atractosteus spatula (Actinopterygii: Lepisosteiformes: Lepisosteidae), from Ganga River system, India: A possible threat to indigenous riverine fish diversity [PDF]
A new record of an exotic alligator gar, Atractosteus spatula (Lacepède, 1803), from an open wetland of the Ganga River was presented in this paper and discussed along with the environmental parameters.

River connectivity increases the diversity of fish communities in gravel pit lakes
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

Abstract Remote sensing technology offers the ability to derive information on freshwater fish habitats across broad geographic areas and has the potential to transform approaches to monitoring. However, the numerous platforms, sensors and analytical software that are available may overwhelm those interested in utilizing this important technology and ...

Abstract Colder water temperatures are generally regarded as a stressful period for fishes (i.e., winter stress syndrome), which can be exacerbated by cold‐shock stress associated with major arctic freezes. Although cold‐shock stress and mass mortalities are well documented for coastal marine fishes, few studies report the effects of winter stress or ...

Overlooked Invaders? Ecological Impacts of Non‐Game, Native Transplant Fishes in the United States
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)
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)
