Estimating the degree to which distance and temperature differences drive changes in fish community composition over time in the upper Mississippi River Estimating the degree to which distance and temperature differences drive changes in fish community composition over time in the upper Mississippi River
Similarity in community composition declines as distance between locations increases, a phenomenon that has been observed in a wide variety of freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. One driver of the distance-similarity relationship is the presence of environmental gradients that alter the suitability of sites for particular species. Although some environmental gradients, such as...

Influence of a high-head dam as a dispersal barrier to fish community structure of the Upper Mississippi River Influence of a high-head dam as a dispersal barrier to fish community structure of the Upper Mississippi River
In river systems, high‐head dams may increase the distance‐decay of fish community similarity by creating nearly impermeable dispersal barriers to certain species from upstream reaches. Substantial evidence suggests that migratory species are impacted by dams, and most previous studies in stream/river networks have focused on small streams and headwaters. Here, we assess whether a high...

Development of a quantitative PCR method for screening ichthyoplankton samples for bigheaded carps Development of a quantitative PCR method for screening ichthyoplankton samples for bigheaded carps
Monitoring ichthyoplankton is useful for identifying reproductive fronts and spawning locations of bigheaded carps (Hypophthalmichthys spp.). Unfortunately, sorting and identifying ichthyoplankton to monitor for bigheaded carp reproduction is time consuming and expensive. Traditional methods require frequent egg-larvae sampling, sorting of all samples to obtain presumptively identified...
