Evolution of Signal Divergence and Behavior in Cyprinella galactura, the whitetail shiner
(2008-09-09)
Acoustic signaling in anurans, insects, birds, and mammals has played an important role as an interspecific isolating mechanism and is also believed to be a mechanism of sexual selection in intraspecific mate choice. A ...
A Comparative Study of the Immunological Properties of Extracellular Products Between Virulent and Less Virulent Edwardsiella tarda
(2008-09-09)
The immunological properties of the extracellular products (ECP) of the Edwardsiella tarda parent FL6-60 and mutant RET-04 isolates were investigated in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Non-purified ECP derived from ...
Effects of hydrologic variation on dynamics of channel catfish and flathead catfish populations in regulated and unregulated rivers in the southeast USA
(2008-09-09)
Altered flow regimes resulting from dam construction can have negative impacts on growth and recruitment of fishes in regulated river systems. The effects of hydrologic variation on channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus and ...
Oligotrophication Effects Following Diversion of Waste Effluent from an Embayment of Lake Martin, Alabama
(2008-09-09)
I examined the effects of nutrient diversion on water quality, phytoplankton, and macroinvertebrate and fish community structures over a 10-year period in Lake Martin, Alabama. In 2001, a pipeline began diverting treated ...
An Evaluation of the Catfish Fishery in Wilson Reservoir, Alabama
(2008-09-09)
