Species Distribution Models of Freshwater Stream Fishes in Maryland and Their Implications for Management
Kelly O. Maloney,Kelly O. Maloney,Donald E. Weller,Daniel E. Michaelson,Daniel E. Michaelson,Patrick J. Ciccotto +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed SDMs for 30 stream fishes of Maryland, USA, using watershed attributes as environmental variables and presence/absence as species responses, and showed substantial agreement between observed and predicted values for 17 species.

The ecological drivers of nuptial color evolution in darters (Percidae: Etheostomatinae)
TL;DR: Environmental variables were correlated with the presence of nuptial color in darters with colorful species tending to inhabit environments that would support fewer predators and potentially transmit a broader spectrum of natural light compared to species lacking male coloration.

Male Association Preference for Conspecifics in the Redband Darter, Etheostoma luteovinctum (Teleostei: Percidae) Based on Visual Cues
TL;DR: This is the first study to document a significant conspecific association preference in males of a darter species, providing evidence that males may contribute to behavioral isolation from E. hopkinsi.

Dense Taxon Sampling Using AFLPs Leads to Greater Accuracy in Phylogeny Estimation and Classification of Darters (Percidae: Etheostomatinae)
TL;DR: The results indicated that dense taxon sampling may be necessary to increase accuracy and resolution when reconstructing ancient evolutionary relationships using AFLPs, and predicted that increasing the number of extant species sampled would result in a more accurate estimate of evolutionary relationships and increase the statistical resolution.

Differential Effects of Urbanization and Non-Natives on Imperiled Stream Species
Scott A. Stranko,Susan E. Gresens,Ronald J. Klauda,Jay V. Kilian,Patrick J. Ciccotto,Matthew J. Ashton,Andrew J. Becker +6 more
TL;DR: The distribution of imperiled stream fish, crayfish, salamander, and freshwater mussel species of Maryland streams in relation to urban land cover and nonnative species was investigated.
