The performance of two popular watershed scale simulation models—HSPF and SWAT—
were evaluated for simulating the hydrology of the 5,568 km2 Iroquois River watershed in …

When introduced species threaten native flora and fauna, protection requires an analysis of
the risk that native species face from the spread of the introduced species. Models of …

Although forested riparian buffers can improve stream habitat, there remains debate as to
whether biotic integrity can be maintained by buffers in highly degraded watersheds. To …

We postulated that dispersal through streams is an important factor in the spread of
nonindigenous aquatic species to uninvaded lakes. We tested this hypothesis with zebra …

Freshwater mussels are among the most imperiled freshwater taxa, and translocation of
these endangered species is one option for conservation. However, the long-term success …

The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to simultaneously study vertebrate
diversity holds promise to accelerate conservation efforts, especially in freshwater systems …

Recent collections (late 1980s, early 1990s) in Illinois waters by resource management and
university personnel conducting status surveys of jeopardized fishes, drainage-wide biotic …

We sampled freshwater mussels at 12 sites centered around three lowhead dams in the
Vermilion River basin (Wabash River drainage) to address their effects on the freshwater …

The bluebreast darter Etheostoma camurum (Cope) has a disjunct distribution within the
Ohio River drainage. I examined the distribution and life history characteristics of E …

Freshwater mussels have undergone dramatic population declines due largely to habitat
