The Phylogeography of Prosopium in Western North America
The mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni) has been largely overlooked in population genetic analyses despite its wide distribution in discrete drainage basins in western North America for over four million years. Its closest sister taxa the Bear Lake whitefish (P. abyssicola), Bonneville cisco …

The heat shock response in embryonic and young of the year juvenile round whitefish (prosopium cylindraceum)
I investigated the effects of acute, increased temperatures on round whitefish embryos at the protruding mouth stage and young-of-the-year (YOY) juveniles at 3.5 months post hatch by characterizing the kinetics of the heat shock response (HSR). The HSR provides protection from a variety of …

Investigating population structure and resource use diversity in Lake Huron Lake (Coregonus clupeaformis) and Round (Prosopium cylindraceum) Whitefish using compound specific stable isotopes analysis
Aquatic thermal pollution from electricity generation, via once-through cooling systems, poses a potential threat to freshwater ecosystems. Research has shown that elevated temperatures can have adverse effects on whitefish reproduction and development, potentially leading to population decline. …

Use Of Multi-Gear Sampling To Improve Abundance Estimates Of Demersal Coregonids In The Laurentian Great Lakes
… (Coregonus clupeaformis) and Round Whitefish (Prosopium cylindraceum) play a vital role in both the Laurentian Great Lakes food webs and the commercial fishing industry. Hydroacoustic sampling has proven useful when performing stock assessments because hydroacoustics provide rapid spatial …

Analyzing the diet composition of Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in Upper Priest Lake
… Trout; 19.0% were identified as Pygmy Whitefish (Prosopium coulteri); 14.2% were identified as Kokanee Salmon (Onchohynchus nerka); and 1.5% were identified as Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens). Therefore, we suggest that the effects of Lake Trout on Bull Trout are not direct effects, but rather …

Population Structure of Lake Whitefish (Coregonus Clupeaformis) on Multiple Spatial Scales: Transitioning to a Genomics Approach
… and round whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis and Prosopium cylindraceum) in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant on Lake Huron. The analysis of over 200 individuals of each species revealed no fine scale population subdivision relevant to management. Microsatellites remain a valuable tool, but …
