Conservation implications of revised genetic structure resulting from new population discovery: the threatened eastern sand darter (Ammocrypta pellucida) in Canada.

Abstract excerpt

Human activity can put non-game fishes at higher risk of extinction because of inappropriate management action. Eastern sand darter (Ammocrypta pellucida), a small benthic fish classified as threatened across much of its northern range, inhabits increasingly fragmented sandy habitats and, as a non-game fish, may be easily overlooked in conservation efforts. In this study, the authors use genotype data from nine...
