Thirty gravid female Paddlefish were tagged with acoustic transmitters and their movements tracked in Grand Lake (a 21,000 ha impoundment) and in two tributaries, the Neosho River (NR) and Spring River (SR), northeastern Oklahoma, USA to assess their reproductive periodicity (annual versus non-annual) and their choice of river entered during their upriver spawning migration period (Feb 15 to May 15). Fish seldom occupied the rivers at other times and remained in the reservoir. Telemetered fish commonly used both rivers, with few using only one river each year and none using a single river exclusively over the four year study duration. Although annual spawning was the most common pattern, alternate-year spawning was observed. Over the four-year study, fish demonstrated a slight numerical preference for ascending the NR (96 times) over the SR (88 times), despite anomalously lower discharges in the NR. Results were not inconsistent with two other studies indicating the higher value of the NR over the SR as a paddlefish recruitment river. However, the lack of high flow years on the Neosho River during our study limited our interpretation. In testing hypotheses that pre-spawning fish would enter the river a) with the higher discharge on that day or within four days prior, b) with the greater increase (or lesser decrease) in discharge on that day or within four days prior, none of nine discharge variables investigated were closely related to river choice. Despite some specific instances where high or rising discharge each triggered upriver movements, river choice over the entire Feb 15 to May 15 period as a whole was similar to what would be expected by chance. Entering and exiting the two proximal, low gradient river mouths and lower river sections may have incurred little energetic cost prior to actual spawning.","PeriodicalId":23234,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139274023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These tournaments mostly occur on reservoirs with restrictive or protective regulations for Blue Catfish Ictalurus furcatus that limit the size of fish that tournament participants are allowed to weigh in. As a result, catfish tournament anglers have begun to campaign for length limit exemptions for catfish tournaments. Unlike black bass spp. and Walleye Sander vitreus tournaments, there is little to no research on tournament-related stress and mortality regarding catfish. This study aimed to evaluate Blue Catfish blood glucose levels, which is a secondary response to stress, before and after being exposed to different variations of livewell flow, size, and crowding using a readily available portable blood glucose meter. The Accu-Chek Guide was found to be capable of detecting differences in blood glucose levels of Blue Catfish, which were found to increase significantly following simulated livewell stress. However, this study did not observe any differences in blood glucose levels of Blue Catfish exposed to differing livewell flows, different sized livewells, or differing amounts of crowding of fish within a livewell.","PeriodicalId":23234,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139273987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plant-associated phyllosphere fungi are a largely overlooked aspect of diversity in grassland systems. Phyllosphere fungi are important in plant health as pathogens, commensals, and potential mutualists. We aimed to determine how host plant species affected the community-level diversity of phyllosphere fungi across a steep precipitation gradient and two co-occurring prairie species – big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii, Poaceae) and leadplant (Amorpha canescens, Fabaceae). We sampled leaves of both plant species from five sites across a portion of the precipitation gradient in Kansas, USA, each site with a different mean annual precipitation (MAP; 615 mm – 1038 mm). Leaf disks were homogenized, and the extracted DNA was Illumina MiSeq sequenced to characterize the foliar fungal communities. We compared several richness and diversity estimates using Wilcoxon rank sum tests and multiple linear regression analyses and tested for compositional differences among the communities using permutational analysis of variance analogs (PERMANOVA). The data suggested minor differences in the fungal communities between the two hosts, whereas MAP had no effect. Similarly, linear regression analyses indicated no host or precipitation gradient effects on the fungal community composition. Both phyllosphere fungal communities and the factors affecting them in prairie systems remain poorly understood and results suggest that more research is needed to fully understand the compounding biodiversity which includes microbial communities within this system.","PeriodicalId":23234,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139274862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
