A bristle‐nosed Jurassic ray‐finned fish (Actinopterygii) bears true dermal odontodes on its snout
Teeth show extreme diversity, including tooth‐like dermal odontodes or “skin teeth” in many extant fishes. We describe the anatomy of enlarged tubercles on the snout of Redfieldius, an extinct early Jurassic fish. We found that the tubercles in Redfieldius are dermal odontodes that evolved independently from those of living species. Abstract Comparison

Prevalence and Implications of “Must‐Kill” Angling Regulations for the Management of Invasive Fishes
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 ...

Comparing Aquatic Environmental DNA Collection Methods Across a Diel Cycle in a Lotic System
Water samples were collected over 25 h from the Tangipahoa River, Louisiana, using active and passive environmental DNA methods to detect fish assemblages. Active sampling involved collecting water samples at hourly intervals for 25 h, whereas passive sampling deployed a stationary filter for 25 h.

Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

Comparative Diets of Invasive Blue Catfish: Differences Across Rivers and Ontogenetic Stages
ABSTRACT Blue Catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) are an invasive species with expanding populations in freshwater systems, posing significant ecological challenges to native fauna. To assess their potential impacts in diverse aquatic ecosystems, we examined and compared the diets of non‐native Blue Catfish from four rivers in Georgia, USA, two of which drain

Larval feeding studies of both ornamental and consumable fish species are important for formulating successful management, and culture strategies for conservation purposes. In the present study, we evaluated prey selectivity for the tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus in the larval stage (first 8 weeks) using the zooplankton Artemia fransiscana, Daphnia

Advancing Environmental Flows Science: Hindcasting and Forecasting Flow–Ecology Relationships
To advance current environmental flow standards in Texas, we developed field, laboratory, and analytical methods to model recruitment dynamics of indicator species selected to cover a range of population responses to flow variation. Preliminary investigations were conducted in three central Texas river basins to evaluate the feasibility of these ...

Freshwater megafauna shape ecosystems and facilitate restoration
ABSTRACT Freshwater megafauna, such as sturgeons, giant catfishes, river dolphins, hippopotami, crocodylians, large turtles, and giant salamanders, have experienced severe population declines and range contractions worldwide. Although there is an increasing number of studies investigating the causes of megafauna losses in fresh waters, little attention

Length‐Weight Relationships of Native and Non‐Native Fishes in the Lower Red River Catchment, USA
Length‐weight relationships are useful for stock assessments and modeling alternative conservation and management strategies for both native and non‐native fishes. We developed length‐weight relationships for 18 native and non‐native riverine fishes in the lower Red River catchment.
