Applying edge-core theory of intraspecific life-history variation to the control of invasive silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix)
… in adapting to a novel range. Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) are an invasive cyprinid fish that were introduced to North America in the 1970s and have since spread throughout the Mississippi River Basin. During the 2000s, silver carp invaded the Illinois River and began advancing …

The impact of carbon dioxide on freshwater fish behaviors
… minnows (Pimephales promelas) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) following exposure to conspecific skin extracts (alarm cues). In fathead minnows, their response to conspecific skin extracts were significantly impaired following exposure to elevated CO2 levels for at least 96 h, while …

Zooplankton response to Asian carp harvesting in Illinois River backwaters: a natural experiment
Since the 1980’s, Asian carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) have spread throughout the Mississippi River basin and are now approaching Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes. This poses a problem because Asian carp can have major negative impacts on the zooplankton that …

Prey preference for Asian carp and soft plastic lure ingestion by largemouth bass
Invasive bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) have become established throughout much of the Mississippi River basin. In many areas, these two species comprise a significant proportion of the fish biomass. Despite their prevalence and potential for …
