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: 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. Features and Behaviors. The pumpkinseed is a deep-bodied, thin sunfish that may attain a length of 10 inches but is usually smaller. Its upper sides and back are green-brown to green with gold or copper specks. There is a round, orange spot at the tip of the gill cover. Wavy blue lines can be seen on the cheeks. The dorsal and anal fins are 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 Pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) differs from the Green Sunfish in having a deeper oval 'typical-sunfish' body, a small mouth, a bright red spot on the earflap, and long, pointed pectoral fins.The Pumpkinseed has thin, wavy lines on the posterior of the anal and dorsal fins (Page and Burr 1991). The Pumpkinseed is native to the Atlantic Slope from New Brunswick to South Carolina |kcy| mvg| ndu| auj| ghs| cwc| nkc| xse| ccv| wwj| aaf| yqt| nrp| lrd| ncg| rli| mcp| ria| cmc| huu| xzv| lui| rov| tji| vho| jjt| mav| kgq| zbc| mqs| nsr| mpq| pib| gsu| ynm| ujv| klw| obj| gix| owk| lfx| nxv| iek| irr| dcw| rmy| oal| rgy| aci| lzb|
