The Effect of Habitat on the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) in Bull Creek, Southwest Missouri
The study was conducted in the Bull Creek drainage basin of the Missouri Ozarks between 1 June and 1 September, 2001. The goals of this study were to characterize the fish assemblages, evaluate specific habitat variables, and measure the index of biotic integrity (IBI), using fish assemblages as …

A Comparison of Water Quality Analyses and the Index of Biotic Integrity in Bull Creek, Southwest Missouri
… Integrity for measuring the ecological health of Bull Creek, a stream of the White River System in southwest Missouri, with varying degrees of human impact. Results of regression analyses indicated that physicochemical parameters were not strong predictors of IBI scores. Data suggest determining …

Tracing the input and evolution of municipal water in springs and tributaries of the Bull Creek watershed, Austin, TX
… water, wastewater, soil, and bedrock from the Bull Creek watershed, a rapidly urbanizing watershed in Austin, Texas, to achieve a better understanding of the processes of geochemical evolution as anthropogenically-sourced water recharges natural systems. Urbanization patterns in the Bull Creek …

Reproduction and Diet of Pseudemys Concinna Inhabiting a Cold Water Reservoir in Southwest Missouri
… (Rockaway Slough) and one normothermic cove (Bull Creek) at Lake Taneycomo, from April 1993 to August 1994. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of adult diets from both sites showed great similarity and primarily consisted of green algae (Spirogyra sp.). Mean annual reproductive potential …

Reproduction and Diet of Kinosternon Odoratum Inhabiting a Cold Water Reservoir in Southwest Missouri
… cove (Rockaway Slough) and a normothermic cove (Bull Creek), from April 1993 through August 1994. Dietary analysis showed a significant difference between sites in the frequency of food items taken. There were no significant differences in the volume of food items taken between sites or between …

Reproduction and Movement Patterns of the Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra Serpentina) Inhabiting a Hypothermic Reservoir in Southwest Missouri
… and a normothermic cove associated with Bull Creek, a tributary of Lake Taneycomo. Turtles were trapped using a variety of methods including baited hoop nets, baited fyke nets, and hand captures. Reproductive data were collected from nineteen Rockaway Beach females and fifteen Bull Creek …

Physical and Biological Impacts of Gravel Mining on Three Southwest Missouri Streams
… and biological impacts of gravel mining on Bull Creek, Swan Creek, and the Finley River in southwest Missouri. I hypothesized that overall abundances of native game fishes have been significantly altered by local gravel mining operations. Similar studies have indicated that the greatest …

Age, Growth, and Population Structure of Black Redhorse (Moxostoma Duquesnei) and Golden Redhorse (Moxostoma Erythrurum) in Southwest Missouri
… from three White River tributaries (James River, Bull Creek, and Swan Creek) and one Arkansas River tributary (Elk River) in southwest Missouri. Validation of annulus formation in otoliths, using marginal increment analysis, indicated that both species formed the annulus from May to June. The 55 …

Maturation and Reproduction of the White Sucker (Catostomus Commersoni) in Lake Taneycomo, Missouri
… females in the upper lake and towards males in Bull Creek, a major tributary. Gonadal Somatic Index (GSI) during the spawning season was around 20% for females and 6% for males. Condition factor data indicated that the population was healthy. Fecundity and gonad weight increased with fish size. …
