Aspects of Bowfin and Northern Sunfish Biology and Ecology
Bowfin (Amia calva) are currently being harvested at high rates in the Mississippi River system for the sale of their roe as a caviar alternative. I evaluated the effect that this industry could have if it expands to include the Great Lakes by describing population characteristics of bowfin from …

Earliest Known Material of Amia, Bowfin, From The Sentinel Butte Formation (Paleocene), Medora, North Dakota
<p><em>Amia calva</em> is an icon in the field of comparative osteology, yet we have a poor understanding of the evolution of the genus because many fossil amiid bones have gone unidentified. Here we identify new material of the genus, <em>Amia</em>, with evidence of two unidentified species. …

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARS: THE MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS AND COMPARATIVE PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF LIVING GARS (ACTINOPTERYGII: LEPISOSTEIDAE)
… 1 (RAG1) intron. A single outgroup taxon, the bowfin (<italic>Amia calva<italic>), was included in my analyses. Regardless of optimality criterion (genetic distance, parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference), a single, well-supported phylogeny estimate emerged. Both sister genera …

Isolation and Characterization of Regulatory Peptides from Two Tetraploid Species, the Pallid Sturgeon, Scaphirhynchus albus, and the African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis
… is identical to VIP previously isolated from the bowfin, Amia calva, and the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. The second form of pallid sturgeon VIP differs by a single substitution (Ala4—»Ser). The presence of two forms of pallid sturgeon VIP is indicative of at least one VIP gene duplication …
