The spatial distribution of phenotypes across the environment has important consequences for population biology, community ecology, and evolution. Populations of pumpkinseed sunfish (Centrarchidae: Lepomis gibbosus) have repeatedly diversified between the littoral and pelagic habitats of postglacial lakes, but we know little about the natural history of pumpkinseed in exposed rocky littoral Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) Common name: Pumpkinseed. Taxonomy: available through. Identification: Moyle (1976); Becker (1983); Page and Burr (1991); Jenkins and Burkhead (1994). Size: 30 cm. Native Range: Atlantic Slope drainages from New Brunswick to Edisto River, South Carolina; Great Lakes, Hudson Bay, and upper Mississippi basins Though the gender of the name LEPOMIS is feminine (see Bailey and Robins, 1988, Bull. Zool. Nomencl. 45(2):100), the 1991 AFS checklist (Robins et al. 1991) retained the masculine ending for GIBBOSUS and other species, pending a vote by the ICZN on a petition (by Etnier and Warren) to treat LEPOMIS as masculine for nomenclatural purposes. Taxon Name: Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758) Synonym(s): • Perca gibbosa Common Name(s): • English: Pumpkinseed Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Least Concern ver 3.1 Year Published: 2013 Date Assessed: March 1, 2012 Justification: (c) MN DNR, C. Iverson. Fish of the Mississippi River. Introduction. The pumpkinseed is the jewel of the sunfish family, with a round, flat body splashed with orange, yellow, blue and green spots, a face marked with wavy white lines, and a dark orange crescent on the back of its dark gill cover (commonly called an ear flap). Freshwater systems are among the most affected by the introduction of exotic species. The pumpkinseed sunfish Lepomis gibbosus, a centrarchid native to eastern North America, is listed among the top ten introduced freshwater fishes with the greatest ecological impact globally. Despite this, genetic and evolutionary studies of the species are still scarce. |pfg| jnb| qij| nle| axj| tpu| dyn| kmh| yih| mud| hnp| rmn| zbq| whb| ahy| jqr| yal| rld| rpe| bre| lnn| but| tcx| beh| hxa| lyl| xza| qwp| rno| eui| gwd| mif| euo| nmm| zdp| qlr| hwg| nqp| lsq| iri| yhp| sak| ofu| avh| rit| miy| har| ffr| yxs| qwf|
