Before 1982, Daphnia retrocurva and Daphnia galeata mendotae were the dominant species of Daphnia in Lake Michigan. Between 1972 and 198 1, Daphnia community structure in the offshore region shifted toward greater dominance of the larger D. galeata mendotae, with Daphniapulicaria, another large species, dominating by 1982. This continued through summer 1984. Shifts in offshore Daphnia community...

Most evidence for hybrid swarm formation stemming from anthropogenic habitat disturbance comes from the breakdown of reproductive isolation between incipient species, or introgression between allopatric species following secondary contact. Human impacts on hybridization between divergent species that naturally occur in sympatry have received considerably less attention. Theory predicts that rei...

Predicting and mitigating the impact of anthropogenic barriers on migratory fish requires an understanding individual environmental factors that influence barrier passage. Here, upstream spawning migrations iteroparous twaite shad Alosa fallax were investigated over three successive in a highly fragmented river basin using passive acoustic telemetry ( n = 184). More approached passed lower reac...
