Effects of Simulated Drought on Yellowcheek Darter (Nothonotus moorei) and Yoke Darter (Nothonotus juliae) Growth, Survival, and Refuge-use, 2024 Dataset
We used mesocosms to evaluate the effects of drought on Nothonotus moorei
(Yellowcheek Darter) and Nothonotus juliae (Yoke Darter) survival, growth, and behavior.
Survival was low and did not differ between treatments. Yoke Darters gained mass in control
treatments, whereas Yellowcheek Darters did not differ between treatments. Habitat-use varied
between treatment and species, with control fish using all habitats and drought fish using run and
pool habitats. Yellowcheek Darters had lower tag mortality than Yoke Darters. This study
provides information to help conserve these species and many other stream fishes.
