Download or read book Freshwater Fish Distribution written by Tim M. Berra and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 29,000 species, fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on the planet. Of that number, more than 12,000 species are found in freshwater ecosystems, which occupy less than 1 percent of the Earth’s surface and contain only 2.4 percent of plant and animal species. But, on a hectare-for-hectare basis, freshwater ecosystems are richer in species than more extensive terrestrial and marine habitats. Examination of the distribution patterns of fishes in these fresh waters reveals much about continental movements and climate changes and has long been critical to biogeographical studies and research in ecology and evolution. Tim Berra’s seminal resource, Freshwater Fish Distribution,maps the 169 fish families that swim in fresh water around the world. Each family account includes the class, subclass, and order; a pronunciation guide to the family name; life cycle information; and interesting natural history facts. Each account is illustrated, many with historical nineteenth-century woodcuts. Now available in paperback, this heavily cited work in ichthyology and biogeography will serve as a reference for students, a research support for professors, and a helpful guide to tropical fish hobbyists and anglers.

Book excerpt: The southern forest resource assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of the history, status, and likely future of forests in the Southern United States. Twenty-three chapters address questions regarding social/economic systems, terrestrial ecosystems, water and aquatic ecosystems, forest health, and timber management; 2 additional chapters provide a background on history and fire. Each chapter surveys pertinent literature and data, accesses conditions, identifies research needs, and examines the implications for southern forests and the benefits they provide.

Download or read book The Inland Fishes of Mississippi written by Stephen T. Ross and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2001 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deluxe, comprehensive guide to the native species of Mississippi Download Plain Text version Where was the largest bass caught in Mississippi? What streams are sometimes home to the gulf sturgeon? How can an angler tell a grass pickerel from a walleye? In Inland Fishes of Mississippi, Stephen T. Ross answers these questions and many more. Mississippi waters are some of the richest inland fish habitats in the United States. In fact, only four states have more native fish than Mississippi's 204. Inland Fishes of Mississippi is for anglers and nature lovers who want to learn more about this thriving diversity. Introductory chapters present the history of the study of fish in Mississippi, the distribution patterns of species, important conservation issues, and valuable information on identifying fish by examining body shape and structure. Following these are illustrated keys to all the families of fish known to inhabit inland waters. Each key is a detailed guide to identifying the specific species within a family of fish. Keys include: color photographs of freshly collected examples meanings of scientific names for fish descriptions of color and physical changes maximum sizes of fish, including records for game fish precise maps of distribution vital information on habitat requirements, feeding, and behavior tips on where to catch a species status of conservation efforts For both the casual angler and the ichthyologist, Inland Fishes of Mississippi will prove a constant resource and an irreplaceable asset for identifying, observing, and catching the state's various species. Stephen T. Ross is professor of biological sciences and Curator of Fishes at the University of Southern Mississippi. The editor for ecology and ethology of Copeia, he has also published articles in numerous journals such as American Naturalist, Environmental Biology of Fishes, and Transactions of the American Fisheries Society.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mechanisms responsible for generation and maintenance of a freshwater biodiversity gradient in southeastern North America have received extensive scientific inquiry, but a synthetic understanding of their relative importance has not been attained. Recent advancements in DNA sequencing technologies and statistical methods are poised to generate and analyze the data necessary to identify such mechanisms, but this work should be preceded by a foundational knowledge of organismal biology and basic phylogeny. Pygmy sunfishes (Percomorphacea: Centrarchidae: Elassoma) are endemic to an aquatic biodiversity "hotspot" in the southeast, but are among the least-studied groups of North American freshwater fishes. I used molecular phylogenetics to infer evolutionary affinities within and relationships within Elassoma, and this information was used to address questions spanning a broad spatiotemporal scale. The goals of each study were to, 1) identify repeated phylogenetic and biogeographic patterns, 2) develop strategies to reconcile errors that previously impeded pattern recognition, and 3) assess putative processes that may explain the observed patterns. Chapter One includes a search of relevant literature and a discussion of taxonomic and conservation issues surrounding this group. Chapter Two is a test of hypothesized sister group relationships between Elassoma and other taxa within Percomorphacea, a problem that has plagued the systematic ichthyology community for decades. This study is the first to combine nuclear and mitochondrial protein-coding genes in a broadly sampled analysis of spiny ray-finned fishes. In addition, a new taxonomic proposal is presented that recognizes three major clades within Percomorphacea. Chapter Three reconstructs phylogenetic relationships among pygmy sunfish species using two nuclear genes and one mitochondrial gene. This study presents the first evidence for an Elassoma phylogeny that is independently corroborated by multiple loci and strongly supported in a combined analysis. In addition, this study identifies trends pertaining to the evolution of sexual dimorphism within the genus, and implicates sexual selection as a potential mechanism promoting ecological compatibility among closely related species. Chapter Four examines phylogeographic structure of the most widespread pygmy sunfish using the mitochondrial cytochrome b (CYTB) gene. This study reveals an unprecedented number of pre-Pleistocene lineages for a species of the Gulf-Atlantic Coastal Plain, and adjusts existing vicariance hypotheses to accord with Miocene geoclimatic events. Results of all three studies provide novel insights into the mechanisms responsible for the origin and maintenance of an aquatic biodiversity gradient in southeastern North America.
