|
August 2021
|
Little is known regarding the susceptibility of nongame fishes to tournament harvest. The goal of this study was to understand the susceptibility of catostomids to gigging tournament harvest within the Spavinaw-Eucha river-reservoir complex. To do this, we are seasonally sampling fixed sites within the reservoir, the perennial lower portion of the major tributary, the intermittent upper portion of the major tributary, two perennial tributaries, and five intermittent tributaries with a variety of passive and active sampling gears.

Pastore and Calcagnì (2019) proposed using the distribution-free method “” for estimating overlap, and by extension effect size, in the social sciences (specifically the field of psychology). Given the inherent flexibility of a distribution-free overlap metric, has now been used in various scientific disciplines. To better facilitate the use of n in fisheries, we overview its basic properties, outline its implementation in program R, and show its utility as an estimate of effect size when paired with classic statistical tests.

We estimated the daily post-capture survival rates of radio-marked eastern wild turkeys. We found that capture effects may extend as long as 33-days after marking, which may negatively bias estimates of survival.

|
January 2022
|
The Prairie Chub<i> Machrybopsis australis</i> is assumed a pelagic-broadcast spawning cyprinid (i.e., pelagophil) endemic to the Red River basin. Pelagophils spawn over a protracted season and their recruitment is thought to be linked to higher discharge and connectivity. We systematically collected age-0 Prairie Chub across the catchment during spring and summer 2019 and 2020 to determine the factors related to spawning dates.

|
August 2020
|
We conducted double-digest restriction enzyme associated DNA sequencing to genotype over 127,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for 64 Neosho Smallmouth, 24 Northern Smallmouth, and 4 Spotted Bass (outgroup) distributed across the central Interior Highlands. We found strong differentiation between the Neosho Smallmouth Bass and Northern Smallmouth Bass in the central Interior Highlands and, within the Neosho native range, we found complex patterns of population structure, identifying two genomically distinct populations.

|
February 2022
|
The Neosho Smallmouth Bass (<i>Micropterus dolomieu velox</i>), one of two recognized subspecies, is restricted to the Arkansas River Basin (ARB), but non-native Northern Smallmouth Bass (<i>M. d. dolomieu</i>) has been widely introduced for angling. We show these subspecies to be independent lineages that have hybridized, possibly generating fitness differences between ancestral and admixed populations.

|
Great Plains pelagophils have rapidly declined over time. Pelagic broadcast spawning cyprinids were once widespread but their distributions have presumably become truncated and their abundance reduced. The Prairie Chub <i>Machrybopsis australis </i>is endemic to the upper Red River basin of Oklahoma and Texas. We modeled the hydrologic relationships across multiple scales to understand how flow relates to distribution and determine the factors driving abundance.

Bighead Carp <i>Hypophthalmichthys nobilis</i> and Silver Carp <i>Hypophthalmichthys molitrix</i> are two invasive species for which limited information is available on which structure is most appropriate for age and growth analyses.
