Demographic and Evolutionary Consequences of Selective Mortality: Predictions from an Eco-Genetic Model for Smallmouth Bass

—We use an individual-based eco-genetic model to examine the demographic and evolutionary consequences of selective mortality on a species with parental care, the smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu. Our analyses are grounded in a long-term (1936–2003) empirical study of the dynamics of two populations that differ widely in both density and life history. The model we construct extends previous...

Laboratory investigation into the role of largemouth bass virus (Ranavirus, Iridoviridae) in smallmouth bass mortality events in Pennsylvania rivers

BACKGROUND Mortality episodes have affected young-of-year smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) in several river systems in Pennsylvania since 2005. A series of laboratory experiments were performed to determine the potential role of largemouth bass virus (Ranavirus, Iridoviridae) in causing these events. RESULTS Juvenile smallmouth bass experimentally infected with the largemouth bass virus...

Genetic mating system and mate selection in smallmouth bass

Mating systems are an important factor influencing the variance in reproductive success among individuals within natural populations and thus have important ecological and evolutionary implications. We used molecular pedigree reconstruction techniques with microsatellite DNA data to characterize the genetic mating system and mate selection in adult smallmouth bass spawning in Lake Opeongo. The ...
