Ecology and Life History of the Speckled Madtom, Noturus leptacanthus (Ictaluridae)

<p>This research represents an effort to understand the life history, strategy, and ecological relationships of <em>Noturus leptacanthus</em>. In particular I have tried to compare the combination of low fecundity, large egg size, parental car , and marked sexual dimorphism in <em>leptacanthus</em> with the patterns of these parameters in other ictalurid species.</p>
