Phylogenomics and species delimitation of the economically important Black Basses (Micropterus)
Scientific Reports, 2022 Informed management and conservation efforts are vital to sustainable recreational fishing and biodiversity conservation. Because the taxonomic rank of species is important in conservation and management strategies, success of these efforts depends on ...

Seasonality can affect ecological interactions between fishes of different thermal guilds
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Seasonality could play a crucial role in structuring species interactions. For example, many ectotherms alter their activity, habitat, and diet in response to seasonal temperature variation.

Fishes, 2022 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is commonly used to control invasive aquatic macrophytes, including Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) (EWM). Potential influences of 2,4-D on non-target organisms are poorly understood; however, research

Smallmouth Bass Genetics and Morphology
, 2020 All Smallmouth Bass fin clip samples (N = 838) and morphological data were collected by boat or tow-barge electrofishing and by hook-and-line angling between May 2014 and November 2017. All individual fish were immediately released as soon as fin clips and morphometric/meristic data were recorded. DNA from fin clip samples was extracted, PCR-amplified,

Decision support for aquatic restoration based on species‐specific responses to disturbance
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Disturbances to aquatic habitats are not uniformly distributed within the Great Lakes and acute effects can be strongest in nearshore areas where both landscape and within lake effects can have strong influence.

Agonistic Behavior of Juvenile Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 1996 ABSTRACT Juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and smallmouth bass (M. dolomieu) were videotaped in aquaria and in a river, and were observed exhibiting 18 types of agonistic behavior. Behavioral patterns included attempts to injure, threatening displays, and appeasement postures.

Genetic mating system and mate selection in smallmouth bass [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractMating systems are an important factor influencing the variance in reproductive success among individuals within natural populations and thus have important ecological and evolutionary implications. We used molecular pedigree reconstruction techniques with microsatellite DNA data to characterize the genetic mating system and mate selection in ...

Go big or … don't? A field-based diet evaluation of freshwater piscivore and prey fish size relationships. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Body size governs predator-prey interactions, which in turn structure populations, communities, and food webs. Understanding predator-prey size relationships is valuable from a theoretical perspective, in basic research, and for management applications ...

No fish no problem: Diet plasticity as an invasion driver in Japanese smallmouth bass
Global Ecology and ConservationDiet plasticity of invasive apex predatory fish is thought to potentially amplify their negative effects on native species. Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu), an invasive sport fish introduced globally, are a known fish predator that have caused ...
