Chasing a changing climate: Reproductive and dispersal traits predict how sessile species respond to global warming

Diversity and Distributions, 24(7), 880–891.

By: J. Archambault  n, W. Cope  n & T. Kwak* 

Ed(s): A. Ricciardi

author keywords: adaptive management; climate change; endangered species; freshwater mussels; life history; Unionidae
TL;DR: Assessment of reproductive and dispersal traits of freshwater mussels, sessile invertebrates that require species‐specific fish for larval dispersal and other species' range shifts associated with climate change finds that limited mobility and imperilled status place some species at a potentially greater risk of range loss, extirpation or extinction due to climate change.

Relation of contaminants to fish intersex in riverine sport fishes

SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 643, 73–89.

By: C. Grieshaber n, T. Penland n, T. Kwak n , W. Cope  n, R. Heise*, J. Mac Law n, D. Shea n , D. Aday n, J. Rice  n, S. Kullman n 

author keywords: Endocrine active compounds; Endocrine disruption; Bass; Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; Ethinylestradiol; Mercury
MeSH headings : Animals; Disorders of Sex Development / epidemiology; Disorders of Sex Development / veterinary; Environmental Monitoring; Female; Fish Diseases / epidemiology; Fishes / physiology; Male; North Carolina; Rivers / chemistry; South Carolina; Sports; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Pollution, Chemical / statistics & numerical data
TL;DR: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, ethinylestradiol, and heavy metals were the most prevalent contaminants that exceeded effect levels for the protection of aquatic organisms and principal component analysis identified waterborne PAHs as the most correlated environmental contaminant with intersex occurrence and severity in black bass and sunfish.

Selenium, Mercury, and Their Molar Ratio in Sportfish from Drinking Water Reservoirs

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH, 15(9).

By: T. Johnson n, C. LePrevost n , T. Kwak n  & W. Cope  n

author keywords: mercury; selenium; selenium:mercury molar ratio; selenium health benefit value; reservoir; bluegill; crappie; largemouth bass; fish consumption; risk assessment
MeSH headings : Animals; Child; Drinking Water / chemistry; Environmental Monitoring; Fishes; Fresh Water; Humans; Mercury / analysis; North Carolina; Risk Assessment; Selenium / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the measures of Se protection may be unnecessarily conservative or that the USEPA Hg threshold may not be sufficiently protective of human health, especially the health of sensitive populations like pregnant or nursing mothers and young children.

Hydrologic characteristics of freshwater mussel habitat: novel insights from modeled flows

FRESHWATER SCIENCE, 37(2), 343–356.

By: C. Drew n, M. Eddy*, T. Kwak n , W. Cope  n & T. Augspurger*

author keywords: Unionidae; freshwater mussel; hydrology; Parvaspina steinstansana; endemic species; surrogate species; ordination; altered flow
TL;DR: These findings provide the first demonstrated application of complete, continuous, regional modeled hydrologic data to freshwater mussel distribution and management and highlight the utility of modeling and data-mining methods to facilitate further exploration and application of such modeled environmental conditions to inform aquatic species management.

By: S. Favrot  n & T. Kwak n 

TL;DR: It is suggested that protection and restoration of river continuity, natural flow regimes, seasonally appropriate water temperatures, and geographic range expansion are critical components to include in Sicklefin Redhorse conservation planning. (via Semantic Scholar)
