Genetic swamping and possible species collapse: tracking introgression between the native Candy Darter and introduced Variegate Darter
2019-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Candy Darters (Etheostoma osburni) and Variegate Darters (E. variatum) are both native to West Virginia and Virginia. The geographic ranges of these two species were historically separated by Kanawha Falls, a natural barrier to fish dispersal located at Glen Ferris, WV. In the early 1980s, Variegate Darters or putative hybrids (E. osburni × E. variatum) were first collected at locations upstream of Kanawha Falls,...
