State NM: Threatened. The status of the White Sands pupfish population is stable (Sublette et. al. 1990). The White Sands pupfish currently occupies its entire historic range of Salt Creek and Malpais Spring and associated areas (Propst 1999). The primary threats to the White Sands pupfish in the Tularosa Basin are anthropogenic habitat changes that cause either dewatering or other alterations to their existing habitats and the introduction of exotic fishes (Sublette et. al. 1990). Pittenger (1996) reported a major reduction in White Sands pupfish abundance in Mound Spring during 1995 as a consequence of an outbreak of a digenetic nematode (Diplostomulum sp.). Security of the limited range and exclusion of nonnative fishes from its habitats are essential to the conservation of White Sands pupfish (Propst 1999). Distribution (narrative): The White Sands pupfish is endemic and found only in Tularosa Valley, New Mexico (Fishbase 2002). Locally, the White Sands pupfish is called an "alkali minnow" because it is so abundant in some of the springs, sinkholes, and other bodies of water rich in "alkali" or gypsum (Koster 1957, Lee et. al.1981). The White Sands pupfish is endemic to Salt Creek, Malpais Spring, and its outflow, and Mound Spring, all on White Sands Missile Range in the Tularosa Basin, Sierra County, New Mexico (Jester and Suminski 1982, Sublette et. al. 1990). Key Distribution/Abundance/Management Areas: Panel key distribution/abundance/management areas: Breeding (narrative): Spawning occurs during summer (Koster 1957). Spawning occurs in shallow habitats from mid April when water temperatures reach 18o C to mid September with peak spawning during July (Suminski 1977). Males guard small territories of bottom, or of vegetation, over which females deposit their eggs (Koster 1957). Male White Sands pupfish establish and guard territories in the shallow vegetated littoral zones of springs and playa lakes and in low-velocity, vegetated margins of streams (Propst 1999). Eggs are released and fertilized while the male's anal fin is wrapped around the female's vent (Propst 1999). Only one egg is released during each spawning event, but there may be 12-15 such events during a single bout of repeated spawnings (Suminski 1977). A female White Sands pupfish may spawn twice in a 24 hour period, but it is unknown if an individual female spawns throughout the spawning season (Propst 1999). Fertilized eggs of the White Sands pupfish incubating in 4 to 8 days (Able 1984). Although maximum longevity is 5 years, the numbers of fish older than 3 years are very small (Jester and Suminski 1982). Habitat (narrative): The White Sands pupfish inhabits fine mud-silt and sand-gravel bottom of clear, shallow, strongly alkaline pools and streams in the Tularosa Valley (Sublette et. al. 1990). The White Sands pupfish is generally most abundant along the banks in lentic habitats and in shallow portions of low-velocity lotic habitats (Propst 1999). Key Habitat components: springs, low velocity, shallow sand silt habitats.

White Sands pupfish travel in schools and do much of their feeding from the bottom mud and from the vegetation (Koster 1957). The White Sands pupfish is omnivorous, feeding most heavily on Culicidae (mosquitoes) although other invertebrates, algae, and juveniles of its species also occur in the diet (Suminski 1977). Diet category (list): ¾ Planktivore ¾ Herbivore ¾ Insectivore ¾ Piscivore (Fish) ¾ Omnivore ¾ Detritivore Grazing Effects (narrative): Grazing could affect reproduction and recruitment of young through removal of vegetation and trampling and disturbance of shallow water habitats occupied by the species.

Stockwell Chair Mark E. Clark Michael L. Collyer Marion O. Harris Steven E. Travers Approved by Department Chair: 15 March, 2012 Craig A. Stockwell Date Signature ABSTRACT Reports of contemporary evolution have become ubiquitous, but replicated studies of phenotypic divergence for wild populations are exceptionally rare. In 2001, a series of experimental populations were established to replicate a historic translocation event that led to a case of contemporary body shape evolution in the White Sands pupfish. Using landmark-based geometric morphometric techniques I examined phenotypic variation for seven of these populations, and two wild populations over a 5 year period (5-10 generations) in the field. Significant body shape divergence was observed, but divergence patterns were not parallel, suggesting that the ponds were ecologically dissimilar. Considerable body shape variation found among populations suggests that the observed divergence maybe governed by temporal environmental variance.

  • Crayfish: Scavenger Or Deadly Predator? Examining a Potential Predator-Prey Relationship Between Crayfish and Benthic Fish in Aquatic Food Webs
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository CRAYFISH: SCAVENGER OR DEADLY PREDATOR? EXAMINING A POTENTIAL PREDATOR-PREY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CRAYFISH AND BENTHIC FISH IN AQUATIC FOOD WEBS BY CLAIRE LOUISE THOMAS THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Dr. Christopher A. Taylor, Illinois Natural History Survey Dr. David Soucek, Illinois Natural History Survey Assistant Professor Cory Suski ii Abstract Benthic food webs are complex and often poorly understood. Crayfish in particular play a key role in the transfer of energy to higher trophic levels, and can constitute the highest proportion of benthic invertebrate biomass in an aquatic system. Commonly referred to as a keystone species, crayfish are seen as ecologically important for their consumption of detritus and algal material, as well as for their role as a common prey item for over 200 North American animal species. More recently, crayfish have been recognized as obligatory carnivores, but studying crayfish as a potential predator of benthic fish in lotic systems, where they co-occur, has yet to be addressed. Competition exists between crayfish and Percid benthic fish in Illinois streams, for food resources and refuge from larger predators. Previous research, though, has ignored a potential predator-prey interaction between these two groups. I examined a possible relationship between crayfish and benthic fish populations, by both quantifying natural densities of both taxa and using enclosure/exclosure experiments.

  • Historical Biogeography of the New-World Pupfish Genus
    Copeia, 2005(2), pp. 320±339 Historical Biogeography of the New-World Pup®sh Genus Cyprinodon (Teleostei: Cyprinodontidae) ANTHONY A. ECHELLE,EVAN W. CARSON,ALICE F. ECHELLE,R.A.VAN DEN BUSSCHE, THOMAS E. DOWLING, AND AXEL MEYER Analysis of mtDNA sequence variation (2,548 bp from ND2, cytb, and part of the control region) indicates that the genus Cyprinodon began diverging in the Late Mio- cene from a common ancestor with Megupsilon, a monotypic genus on the Mesa del Norte of Mexico. The geographic pattern of mtDNA variation, with estimates of divergence time, suggests that by the end of the Miocene Cyprinodon occurred from the Atlantic Coast and West Indies to near the western margin of North America via ancestral Rio Grande and Colorado River systems. Phylogeographic structure within the major mtDNA complexes supports a variety of hypotheses from geology and previous phylogenetic analyses for Late Neogene connections among basins in south- western North America now separated by formidable barriers to dispersal. Com- parison of the mtDNA tree with previous phylogenetic inferences from allozymes indicates that reticulate evolution involving divergent lineages probably was impor- tant in the history of Cyprinodon. El anaÂlisis de variacioÂn de secuencias de ADNmt (ND2, cytb, y parte de la regioÂn reguladora; 2,548 pb) indica que el geÂnero Cyprinodon empezo a divergir en el mio- ceno tardõÂo de un antepasado comuÂn con Megupsilon,ungeÂnero monotõÂpico de la Mesa del Norte de MeÂxico. El patroÂn geogra®co de la variacioÂn de ADNmt, con estimadas de los tiempos divergencias, sugiere que al llegar al ®n del mioceno Cypri- nodon ocurrio desde la costa AtlaÂntica y las Antillas hasta casi el margen oeste de NorteameÂrica por los sistemas pluviales antiguos del rõÂo Bravo y del rõÂo Colorado.
