    Walleye and yellow perch resource use in large lakes invaded by spiny water fleas and zebra mussels

    Walleye (Sander vitreus; WAE) and yellow perch (Perca flavescens; YEP; collectively percids) are freshwater fishes threatened by multiple stressors, including aquatic invasive species. Zebra mussels (Dreissena po...

    Trophic complexity of small fish in nearshore food webs

    Small nearshore fishes are an important part of lacustrine and functional diversity and link pelagic and benthic habitats by serving as prey for larger nearshore and offshore fishes. However, the trophic compl...

    Walleye growth declines following zebra mussel and Bythotrephes invasion

    Invasive species represent a threat to aquatic ecosystems globally; however, impacts can be heterogenous across systems. Documented impacts of invasive zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and spiny water fleas (

    Abundance, spatial distribution, and diet of endangered Hovsgol grayling (Thymallus nigrescens)

    The Hovsgol grayling, endemic to Lake Hovsgol, Mongolia, is considered endangered, but published descriptions of the species abundance, distribution, or behavior do not exist. We used hydroacoustics, vertical ...

    Whole-lake addition of coarse woody habitat: response of fish populations

    Lakeshore residential development (LRD) reduces coarse woody habitat (CWH) in lakes resulting in negative effects on fishes. We tested whether the addition of CWH could reverse those effects. We added CWH to C...

    The influence of littoral zone coarse woody habitat on home range size, spatial distribution, and feeding ecology of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

    Coarse woody habitat (CWH) may be a critical feature of lakes that influences fish distributions, movement patterns, and feeding habits. We used radio telemetry to examine the role of CWH in determining the mo...
