TL;DR: It is concluded that morphometric analyses would ideally be performed on fresh specimens, but recognizing that this is not always feasible, it is important to be aware of the morphometric changes that can occur during preservation.

TL;DR: Evidence of advanced‐generation asymmetric hybridization and introgression is found, with shoal chub alleles introgressing more frequently into prairie chubs than the reciprocal, and several environmental variables were found to significantly predict individual admixture, suggesting ecological isolation might maintain species boundaries.

TL;DR: Given the overall high level of survival and tag retention in this study, future studies can utilize 12-mm PIT tags to monitor metamorphosing juvenile sea lamprey movement and migration patterns.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the rate of straying among reproductive sites or dispersal is dependent on geographic distance, with a significant positive relationship between genetic differentiation and geographic distance indicating isolation by distance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deployed fyke and drift nets laterally and vertically across the stream channel in two tributaries of Lake Champlain to quantify spatial distribution of downstream migrants and found that juvenile sea lamprey are most likely to be present in the thalweg and at midwater depths of the stream channels.
