The Walters lab has two new papers out. The first is a comparative study of burbot populations in the Wind and Green River drainages to try to understand why burbot are declining in their native range yet expanding in their nonnative range.. The full article can be found at http://www.aquaticinvasions.net/2017/issue2.html. The second explores the effectiveness of native fish conservation areas to also conserve amphibians, reptiles, and mussels and can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cobi.12967/abstract.
