Space invaders: Searching for invasive Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) in a renowned Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) river [PDF]
Humans have the ability to permanently alter aquatic ecosystems and the introduction of species is often the most serious alteration. Non‐native Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) were identified in Miramichi Lake c.

Laboratory investigation into the role of largemouth bass virus (Ranavirus, Iridoviridae) in smallmouth bass mortality events in Pennsylvania rivers [PDF]
Background Mortality episodes have affected young-of-year smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) in several river systems in Pennsylvania since 2005. A series of laboratory experiments were performed to determine the potential role of largemouth bass ...

Pathology, Tissue Distribution, and Phylogenetic Characterization of Largemouth Bass Virus Isolated from a Wild Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) [PDF]
We performed a diagnostic disease investigation on a wild smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) with skin ulcers that was collected from Lake Oahe, South Dakota, following reports from anglers of multiple fish with similar lesions.

Forecasting effects of angler harvest and climate change on smallmouth bass abundance at the southern edge of their range. [PDF]
Climate change will affect stream systems in numerous ways over the coming century. Globally, streams are expected to experience changes in temperature and flow regime. Previous work has indicated that these changes will likely affect fish distributions,

Null models confirm nest site fidelity by male smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu [PDF]
Background Many animals appear to preferentially renest in proximity to a site they previously occupied. Evidence of nest fidelity is often inferred from a right skewed distribution of distances between the nests of individuals that breed in two ...

Automated eDNA and eRNA profiling for biodiversity monitoring in marine and freshwater ecosystems [PDF]
Biodiversity monitoring is essential to measure the impacts of pollution, invasive species, and the longer-term effects of climate change. Automated samplers enable temporally flexible, remote collection of environmental DNA (eDNA), improving access to ...
