(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 ...

Condition-dependent auditory processing in the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus): links to sex, reproductive condition and female estrogen levels
(2020-03-12)
Neural responses to sensory stimuli often differ between sexes, vary seasonally, and can be regulated by endocrine activity, but
the ecological and physiological mechanisms driving such patterns are not well understood. ...
Fish Assemblages on Sand/gravel Bar Habitat in the Alabama River, Alabama
(2020-03-12)
The Alabama River drainage is a biologically diverse system containing over 180 native fishes and at least 33 endemics. Many studies have surveyed single species of conservation concern, such as the federally endangered ...
