Modeling to inform bighead and silver carp management
Bighead carp ( Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) are invasive carp species within the Mississippi River basin. In the early-1970s these species escaped from ponds where people introduced them to control algae (ICRCC). Invasive carp cause ecological and economic damage by outcompeting native species and disrupting native food webs. Stopping the spread of...
Data for the evaluation of the acute toxicity of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (TFM) to Burbot (Lota lota) Data for the evaluation of the acute toxicity of 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (TFM) to Burbot (Lota lota)
The dataset provides access to all data used in the interpretation of results for the study including dose response curves from toxicity tests, predicted minimum lethal concentration data, water quality data, and mortality data.

This repository contains an example application of the Meta-IPM Python package (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9427H6M). The specific application focuses on the Illinois River using existing public data. The code for this project assumes the reader is familiar with Jupyter Notebooks, enough Conda and Python to install the Meta-IPM package, and population ecology. The example also assumes the...
MetaIPM: A Meta-population Integral Projection Model v 2.0 MetaIPM: A Meta-population Integral Projection Model v 2.0
MetaIPM is a Python package (Python Software Foundation 2020) that models meta-population dynamics and continuous growth rates via an integral projection model (IPM) for species living in distinct habitat patches. The package stems from a model that compares invasive carp population control strategies (Erickson et al. 2018). For example, Erickson et al. (2017) used an R predecessor...

Evaluation of the acute toxicity of the piscicide TFM to Burbot Evaluation of the acute toxicity of the piscicide TFM to Burbot
Non-target animal sensitivity remains a concern when treating Laurentian Great Lakes streams with 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (TFM), the main pesticide used to control Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus as part of the bi-national Great Lakes Fishery Commission's Sea Lamprey Control Program. Populations of Burbot Lota lota, a historically and culturally important fish, inhabit some of...

Applying local and global sensitivity analysis to inform bigheaded carp management Applying local and global sensitivity analysis to inform bigheaded carp management
Natural resource managers commonly use population-level models to aid in understanding the status of target populations or the potential implications of management actions. Sensitivity analyses, specifically, local sensitivity analysis (LSA) and global sensitivity analysis (GSA), exist as tools to improve understanding of these models, the importance of specific parameters to model...

Using a coupled integral projection model to investigate interspecific competition during an invasion: An application to silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) Using a coupled integral projection model to investigate interspecific competition during an invasion: An application to silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum)
As a generalization of stage-based matrix models, integral projection models (IPMs) have been used to describe the size-based dynamics of wildlife and fisheries populations. Although some matrix models have explicitly included species interactions, few IPMs have expanded beyond single species, which limits their ability to describe the competitive dynamics of co-occuring taxa. We present...

Assessing the suitability of YY males and ZZ females as an invasive species population control method across life histories Assessing the suitability of YY males and ZZ females as an invasive species population control method across life histories
Natural resource managers use tools to control invasive species. In theory, stocking YY males or ZZ females would allow managers to skew sex ratios until populations collapse. In combination with other suppression methods, such as removal, this approach could be incorporated into Integrated Pest Management plans. For example, fishery managers have stocked YY males to control isolated non...

MetaIPM: Placing integral projection models into a metapopulation framework MetaIPM: Placing integral projection models into a metapopulation framework
Metapopulation models include spatial population dynamics such as dispersion and migration between subpopulations. Integral projection models (IPMs) can include demographic rates as a function of size. Traditionally, metapopulation models do not included detailed populaiton models such as IPMs. In some situations, both local population dynamics (e.g. size-based survival) and spatial...

Analysis code to evaluate Burbot tolerance to lampricide TFM, which is used in tributaries of the Great Lakes to control larval Sea Lamprey. A lab test of toxicity of this non-target species was conducted. This code examines the length and weight of test animals, visualizes water quality measures taken during the tests, and fits a dose response curve.
