(2022-02-15)
This dataset contains the responses from an international aquaponics industry survey conducted from December 2019 to June 2020. Responses (N = 433) were collected using a mixture of question formats to obtain qualitative ...
Data for: The relative importance of suspended versus benthic food resources to freshwater mussels in central Texas, USA
(2022-01-21)
As unionid mussels continue to decline in North America much remains unknown regarding their primary food resources and feeding relationships. In this study, we quantified stable C (δ13C) and stable N (δ15N) isotopic ...
Data for: Evaluation of dissolved carbon dioxide to stimulate emergence of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae) from invaded ponds
(2021-05-05)
Invasive crayfish have adverse effects on habitats and native species. Control of invasive crayfish populations is a major challenge facing natural resource managers. This study evaluated the effectiveness and optimal ...
