    redfin shiner Lythrurus umbratilis Kingdom: Animalia FEATURES Phylum: Chordata The redfin shiner is about two to three inches in Class: Osteichthyes length. This minnow has a deep body that is Order: Cypriniformes compressed from side to side. The back is green- yellow with black specks, the sides are silver and the Family: Cyprinidae belly is white. There is a black spot at the front edge ILLINOIS STATUS (bottom) of the dorsal fin. The scales on the upper body are uniformly pigmented with black. The scales common, native in front of the dorsal fin are small and crowded. The lateral line curves sharply downward. Teeth are present in the throat. The breeding male has a bright blue body, red fins and white or pale gray on the top of the head. BEHAVIORS The redfin shiner may be found statewide in Illinois. It lives in clear, slow-flowing creeks. It is tolerant of © Konrad P. Schmidt, University of Minnesota silt and turbidity. This minnow is most common in pool habitats where there is little or no current. It adult swims in schools at middle water depths or near the surface. Spawning occurs from June through August over the nest of a green sunfish or longear sunfish. Approximately 500 to 700 eggs are deposited by the female. The redfin shiner eats insects and other small invertebrates. ILLINOIS RANGE © Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 2020. Biodiversity of Illinois.

    2000, No. 1COPEIA February 1 Copeia, 2000(1), pp. 1±10 Phylogenetic Relationships in the North American Cyprinid Genus Cyprinella (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae) Based on Sequences of the Mitochondrial ND2 and ND4L Genes RICHARD E. BROUGHTON AND JOHN R. GOLD Shiners of the cyprinid genus Cyprinella are abundant and broadly distributed in eastern and central North America. Thirty species are currently placed in the genus: these include six species restricted to Mexico and three barbeled forms formerly placed in different cyprinid genera (primarily Hybopsis). We conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis of all species of Cyprinella found in the United States, using complete nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial, protein-coding genes ND2 and ND4L. Maximum-parsimony analysis recovered a single most-parsimonious tree for Cyprinella. Among historically recognized, nonbarbeled Cyprinella, the mitochondrial (mt) DNA tree indicated that basal lineages in Cyprinella are comprised largely of species with linear breeding tubercles and that are endemic to Atlantic and/or Gulf slope drainages, whereas derived lineages are comprised of species broadly distrib- uted in the Mississippi basin and the American Southwest. The Alabama Shiner, C. callistia, was basal in the mtDNA tree, although a monophyletic Cyprinella that in- cluded C. callistia was not supported in more than 50% of bootstrap replicates. There was strong bootstrap support (89%) for a clade that included all species of nonbarbeled Cyprinella (except C. callistia) and two barbeled species, C. labrosa and C. zanema. The third barbeled species, C. monacha, fell outside of Cyprinella sister to a species of Hybopsis. Within Cyprinella were a series of well-supported species groups, although in some cases bootstrap support for relationships among groups was below 50%.

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 1 8(2): 143—1 86
    2009. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 1 8(2): 143—1 86 THE "LOST" JORDAN AND HAY FISH COLLECTION AT BUTLER UNIVERSITY Carter R. Gilbert: Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 USA ABSTRACT. A large fish collection, preserved in ethanol and assembled by Drs. David S. Jordan and Oliver P. Hay between 1875 and 1892, had been stored for over a century in the biology building at Butler University. The collection was of historical importance since it contained some of the earliest fish material ever recorded from the states of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Kansas, and also included types of many new species collected during the course of this work. In addition to material collected by Jordan and Hay, the collection also included specimens received by Butler University during the early 1880s from the Smithsonian Institution, in exchange for material (including many types) sent to that institution. Many ichthyologists had assumed that Jordan, upon his departure from Butler in 1879. had taken the collection. essentially intact, to Indiana University, where soon thereafter (in July 1883) it was destroyed by fire. The present study confirms that most of the collection was probably transferred to Indiana, but that significant parts of it remained at Butler. The most important results of this study are: a) analysis of the size and content of the existing Butler fish collection; b) discovery of four specimens of Micropterus coosae in the Saluda River collection, since the species had long been thought to have been introduced into that river; and c) the conclusion that none of Jordan's 1878 southeastern collections apparently remain and were probably taken intact to Indiana University, where they were lost in the 1883 fire.

  • Master List of Fishes
    FISHES OF THE FRESHWATER POTOMAC Compiled by Jim Cummins, The Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin Always DRAFT - Version 02/21/2013 The following list of one-hundred and eighteen fish species known to be present in the freshwater portions of the Potomac River basin. Included, but not numbered, are fish that once were in the Potomac but are no longer are present; eight extirpated fish species (only one of which, the log perch, was perhaps a native to the Potomac) and three with uncertain presences. The list was originally (1995) compiled through a combination of personal field experience, a search of the literature, and input from regional fisheries biologists Ed Enamait (MD), Gerald Lewis (WV), Ed Stienkoenig (VA), and Jon Siemiens (DC). However, I attempt to keep the list updated when new information becomes available, thus the list is always draft. The distribution of these fishes within the Potomac is highly variable. Many are year-round residents and are fairly wide-spread, while some, such as the torrent shiner, are only found in very limited habitats/areas. Eleven are migratory species which typically come into the river system to spawn, and nine represent occasional visitors in freshwater-tidal areas. The native or introduced status of most of these species are generally accepted, but for some species this status is an object of continued researched and therefore caution should be used in interpreting this designation, especially when noted with a “?” mark. Of the 118 species currently found in the river, approximately 80 (68%) are considered native, 23 (19%) are considered introduced, and the rest (15, or 13%) are uncertain in origin.

  • Aquatic Species Mapping in North Carolina Using Maxent
    Aquatic Species Mapping in North Carolina Using Maxent Mark Endries U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services Field Office, Asheville North Carolina INTRODUCTION The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is to work with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service is the lead governmental agency involved in the recovery of federally endangered and threatened species in freshwater and terrestrial habitats. To meet its recovery and protection goals, the Service: (1) works with other federal agencies to minimize or eliminate impacts to fish, wildlife, and plants from projects they authorize, fund, or carry out; (2) supports the improvement of fish and wildlife habitat on private land through technical and financial assistance; and (3) provides scientific knowledge and analyses to help guide the conservation, development, and management of the Nation’s fish and wildlife resources. Freshwater ecosystems present unique management challenges due to their linear spatial orientation and their association with upland habitat variables. On broad scales, the movement of aquatic species within the stream environment is limited to upstream and downstream migration. The inability of aquatic species to circumnavigate man-made obstacles causes them to be particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation has a major influence on species distribution and complicates distribution mapping. To better understand the spatial distributions of freshwater aquatic species in North Carolina, the Service created predictive habitat maps for 226 different aquatic species using geographic information systems (GIS) and maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling. These maps were derived by comparing known species occurrences with a suite of stream- or land-cover-derived environmental variables.

Checklist of the Inland Fishes of Louisiana Abstract Since the publication of Freshwater Fishes of Louisiana (Douglas, 1974) and a revised checklist (Douglas and Jordan, 2002), much has changed regarding knowledge of inland fishes in the state. An updated reference on Louisiana’s inland and coastal fishes is long overdue. Inland waters of Louisiana are home to at least 224 species (165 primarily freshwater, 28 primarily marine, and 31 euryhaline or diadromous) in 45 families. This checklist is based on a compilation of fish collections records in Louisiana from 19 data providers in the Fishnet2 network (www.fishnet2.net).

  • Fishes of Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area
    TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE FISHES OF G U S E N G E L I N G WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA A FIELD CHECKLIST “Act Natural” Visit a Wildlife Management Area at our Web site: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us Cover: Illustration of Flathead Catfish by Rob Fleming. HABITAT DESCRIPTION he Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area is located in the northwest corner of Anderson County, 20 miles Tnorthwest of Palestine, Texas, on U.S. Highway 287. The management area contains 10,941 acres of land owned by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Most of the land was purchased in 1950 and 1951, with the addition of several smaller tracts through 1960. It was originally called the Derden Wildlife Management Area, but was later changed to the Engeling Wildlife Management Area in honor of Biologist Gus A. Engeling, who was killed by a poacher on the area in December 1951. The area is drained by Catfish Creek, an eastern tributary in the upper middle basin of the Trinity River. The topography is gently rolling to hilly, with a well-defined spring-fed drainage system of eight branches that empty into Catfish Creek. These streams normally flow year-round and the entire drainage system is flooded annually. Diverse wetland habitats include hardwood bottomland floodplain (2,000 acres), riparian corri­ dors (491 acres), marshes and swamps (356 acres), bogs (272 acres) and several beaver ponds of varying sizes and ages. The soils are mostly light colored, rapidly permeable sands on the upland, and moderately permeable, gray-brown, sandy loams in the bottomland along Catfish Creek.
