Linkage and Tissue Expression of Enzyme Loci in Interspecific Sunfish (Centrarchidae) Hybrids: Evolutionary and Quantitative Genetic Implications
Two species of sunfishes (Centrarchidae, Perciformes), green sunfish, G (Lepomis cyanellus), redear sunfish, R (L. microlophus), their reciprocal hybrids, and four different backcross progeny have been used to investigate the chromosomal locations of enzyme loci, the genetic basis for their …

The biological effects of artificial reefs in Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia
… with their overall abundance in the reservoir. Sunfishes (Lepomis spp.) and white catfish were the most common. Centrarchid basses were also well represented in the reef sport fish community. Sport fishes were significantly more abundant on the experimental reef sites during both years after …

Evaluation of two reef materials and point or cove locations for construction of artificial reefs in Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia
… netting surveys revealed several trends: 1. That sunfishes preferred tree reefs to tire reefs during the spring sampling period, and 2. that reefs effectively concentrated fishes as compared to control areas during the sampling period.

Comparative Ecology of Juvenile Striped Bass and Juvenile Hybrid Striped Bass in Claytor Lake, Virginia
… while hybrid striped bass consumed age-0 sunfishes. Striped bass achieved mean total lengths of 229 and 173 mm by the end of the growing season in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Stocked into the reservoir three months later than striped bass, mean hybrid striped bass total lengths reached …

Ecology of the Eastern Cottonmouth (<i>Agkistrodon p. piscivorus</i>) at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge: A Comparative Study of Natural and Anthropogenic Marsh Habitats
… suggested that frogs (<em>Rana</em> spp.) and sunfishes (<em>Lepomis</em>spp.) were the primary prey sources. Snakes hibernated both singly and together. The greatest single concern for future populations of cottonmouths at BBNWR is likely the availability of adequate cover, particularly in …

Life history of the endangered fine-rayed pigtoe pearly mussel, Fusconaia cuneolus (Lea, 1840), in the Clinch River, Virginia
… sculpin (Cottus bairdi). Tested species of sunfishes, catfishes, and darters did not serve as hosts. Age and growth characteristics were obtained by thin-sectioning shells collected in muskrat middens at Slant and Pendleton Island, Virginia. As predicted by the von Bertalanffy equation, the …

Life history of the endangered dwarf wedgemussel, Alasmidonta heterodon (Lea 1829) (Pelecypoda: Unionidae), in the Tar River, North Carolina and Aquia Creek, Virginia
… to the juvenile phase. Six species of sunfishes, four minnows, one sucker, and one catfish species tested in the laboratory did not serve as hosts. Because of seemingly poor reproductive success in 1991, natural infestations of fishes with glochidia were not documented. Age and growth …

The Food Habits of Redbreast Sunfish in the San Marcos River, Texas
Lepomis auritus, the redbreast sunfish, is a common sportfish in the San Marcos River, Texas. Since dietary analysis is an important step toward understanding the ecological role of a fish, data on the food habits of the redbreast sunfish in the San Marcos River were collected monthly from April, …

Spatiotemporal patterns in the distribution and abundance of the introduced Redbreast Sunfish (Lepomis auritus) and native Longear Sunfish (L. megalotis; Centrarchidae) in reservoirs of the Tennessee River drainage
The Redbreast Sunfish (Lepomis auritus) was introduced in the Tennessee River drainage (TRD) in the 1940s, and contemporary anecdotal evidence suggests that L. auritus is possibly displacing the native Longear Sunfish (Lepomis megalotis). This study aimed to characterize temporal patterns in …
