The dataset includes Roundtail Chub and Flannelmouth Sucker detections at passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag antenna systems. We installed nine instream Biomark PIT-tag antenna systems (five 24-meter and four 9-meter antennas) in a pass-over orientation throughout the Blacks Fork subbasin. In addition to the fixed antennas, we used a Biomark inflatable antenna and two Biomark submersible PIT-tag antenna systems to increase detections.
Fish colonization ability may be one factor affecting population resilience after disturbance. We conducted displacement experiments in headwater streams in Wyoming, U.S.A. to evaluate mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdii) and mountain sucker (Catostomus platyrhynchus) colonization ability. Specifically, we (1) determined if fish could colonize sites rapidly after displacement, (2) evaluated site-level factors affecting colonization, and (3) compared species-level differences in movement and colonization capabilities. For the colonization experiment, we removed fish from 31 experimental 100 m reaches to create an experimental displacement and examined short-term colonization dynamics in relation to initial fish abundance...
Brook Stickleback Culaea inconstans is an aquatic invasive species in Wyoming that may pose a risk to native biodiversity. Our aim was to evaluate the current risk Brook Stickleback poses to native fish species in the North Platte River drainage. We updated the current distribution of Brook Stickleback, evaluated for possible range expansion, and determined landscape-level habitat drivers and occupancy potential for streams across the North Platte River drainage. Data included in this release was used to 1: run a random forest classification model to determine Brook Stickleback habitat associations in lotic environments at the landscape scale, 2. to determine habitat suitability across the study area based on predicted...
Trophic studies can provide valuable information on the risk an invader poses to native species. Brook Stickleback Culaea inconstans is an invasive fish species in Wyoming whose effect on native fish assemblages is poorly understood. Our goal was to understand the potential for competitive interactions between Brook Stickleback and native fishes. We used stable isotopes of carbon (ẟ13C) and nitrogen (ẟ15N) to evaluate the feeding ecology of Brook Stickleback relative to four native fishes. The data are appropriate for exploring whether native fish isotopic niches changed in sympatry with Brook Stickleback and to evaluate niche overlap between native fishes and Brook Stickleback. The data are associated with the...
Crayfish have experienced extensive community reorganization as a result of global change, with some species becoming globally invasive while others have become rare or extinct. We combined historical and contemporary sampling data to determine temporal trends of crayfish assemblages of Wyoming, United States (1969–2020). The dataset includes previous statewide surveys and more narrow studies focusing on locations like Yellowstone National Park, individual native species, or newly discovered populations of invasive Faxonius rusticus. It also includes data from a 2020 statewide sampling effort of crayfish assemblages at 289 sites between April and November 2020.
