The primary objectives were to determine what effect habitat availability and/or various levels of recreational boating activity were having on these two species. I want to express my appreciation to my major advisor, Dr. O. Eugene Maughan, for his guidance, encouragement and assistance throughout this study. I also express appreciation to Dr. Anthony Echelle and Dr. Larry Talent for agreeing to serve on my committee on short notice and their assistance in preparation of this thesis. Special thanks is given to Dr. Milford R.

I would like to start off thanking my advisor, Dr. Shannon Brewer. Shannon not only continually helped me broaden my knowledge of science and research but also invested her time to improve my practical knowledge as well. I would also like to thank my funding source, The Nature Conservancy and the Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. I would also like to thank Brian Brewer for all of his help building and developing the thermal tolerance lab. Without him I could not have completed my temperature tolerance study. I am indebted to many graduate students that have assisted with statistical, theoretical, and field work. Especially, Jonathan Harris and Robert Mollenhauer, who have volunteered countless hours editing my writing and assisting with data analysis. I would also like to thank Dr. Jim Shaw, my undergraduate advisor, for recognizing my potential and encouraging me to attend graduate school. Without him I would have never considered furthering my education. I would not have been able to complete this project without the help of the many technicians that worked hard for me in the lab and in the field: Desiree Williams, Frances Marshall, Joshua Mouser, Bailey Johnson, Emily Gardner, Spencer Wood, Cooper Sherrill, and Jake Holliday.

  • Predator-Prey Interactions Between Hellbenders
    PREDATOR-PREY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HELLBENDERS (CRYPTOBRANCHUS ALLEGANIENSIS ALLEGANIENSIS AND C. A. BISHOPI) AND NATIVE AND NONNATIVE FISHES A Thesis Presented to The Graduate College of Missouri State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science, Biology By Brian G. Gall August 2008 PREDATOR-PREY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HELLBENDERS (CRYPTOBRANCHUS ALLEGANIENSIS ALLEGANIENSIS AND C. A. BISHOPI) AND NATIVE AND NONNATIVE FISHES Department of Biology Missouri State University, August 2008 Masters of Science Brian G. Gall ABSTRACT The introduction of nonnative fishes often results in the local extinction of native amphibians due to a lack of evolutionary history and therefore, minimally-adapted antipredator behaviors toward the introduced fishes. Populations of hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) in Missouri have declined considerably since the 1980’s, coinciding with a rapid increase in trout introductions for recreational angling. I examined hellbender and fish predator-prey interactions by: (1) examining the foraging behavior of predatory fishes in response to a hellbender secretion; (2) comparing the number of secretion and control-soaked food pellets consumed by trout; and (3) comparing the response of larval hellbenders to chemical stimuli from introduced (trout) and native fish predators. Brown trout, walleye and large banded sculpin respond to hellbender secretions with increased activity while small banded sculpin responded by decreasing activity. In addition, brown trout ingested more hellbender secretion-soaked food pellets than control pellets, while rainbow trout expelled secretion-soaked food pellets. Finally, larval hellbenders exhibited weak fright behavior in response to chemical stimuli from nonnative trout relative to their responses to native predatory fish stimuli. These combinations of responses indicate that predation by nonnative fishes may be a plausible hypothesis for the decline of hellbender populations in Missouri.
