“…Biogeographically, the five known species of buffalofishes of Ictiobus (including other members of the family, i.e., Catostomus spp.) are ranging from Southern Mexico to Canada, of which four are found in the freshwater systems of mainland Mexico, i.e., inhabiting on basins draining the Sierra Madre Occidental province, part of the Mexican Neotropical transition zone ( Ruiz-Campos et al, 2016 ; Lyons et al, 2020 ; Hunt et al, 2021 ; Morrone et al, 2022 ) from which only present gill parasite finding represents the first study on a species of Ictiobus in Mexico. In this view, it is expected to find additional species and/or interesting diversity of monogenoids, still not discovered on these catostomid fishes in the tropics.…”

“…These two species are morphologically indistinguishable but genetically distinct, with the Rosyface inhabiting Champaign County (Wood et al 2002;Berendzen et al 2008;Scott et al 2018). A second change occurred when the Western Creek Chubsucker (Erimyzon claviformis) was removed from the synonymy of the Creek Chubsucker (Erimyzon oblongus) based upon genetic analysis (Hunt et al 2021). The third major change since the last survey was the reclassification of minnows and carps.…”

Fishes of Champaign County, Illinois: as affected by 120 years of stream changes

With data spanning over 120 years, the Fishes of Champaign County is a comprehensive, long-term investigation into the changing fish communities of east-central Illinois. Surveys first occurred in Champaign County in the late 1880s (40 sites), with subsequent surveys in 1928–1929 (125 sites), 1959–1960 (143 sites), and 1987–1988 (141 sites). Between 2012 and 2015, we resampled 122 sites across Champaign County. The combined data from these five surveys have produced a unique perspective into not only the fish communities of the region, but also insight into in-stream habitat changes during the past 120 years. After a period of degradation, fish communities appear to be improving throughout the county, demonstrated by the return of two state-threatened species that had not been recorded since 1928. Our analysis of in-stream habitat indicates a general trend away from small streams of various substrate types toward wider, deeper streams with a more uniform substrate. Fish community data support the results, indicating a shift from typical headwater species to those species that frequent deeper streams with more stable flows. Long-term surveys such as this are rare, and the data and analyses of these surveys can provide managers with valuable information to further restoration efforts using a historical perspective.

Taxonomic revision of the Pirate Perches, Aphredoderus, (Percopsiformes: Aphredoderidae) with descriptions of two new species

Pirate Perches, Aphredoderus, are a widespread lowland freshwater fish native to the Eastern half of the United States. Aphredoderus was thought to contain a single species divided into an Eastern and Western subspecies on either side of the Appalachian Mountains with a widespread intergrade zone through much of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico and Southern Atlantic drainages. We use morphology and genetic data from specimens spanning the entire range of the genus to determine species limits within Aphredoderus. We find evidence of five species, four of which exhibit widespread sympatry in the Southeastern United States. We elevate A. sayanus sayanus and A. sayanus gibbosus to species, redescribe A. mesotrema, supplement previous descriptions, and describe two new species, A. retrodorsalis, and A. ornatus.
