Movements of selected minnows between the lower Yellowstone River and its tributaries
Abstract
Reduced population connectivity has been implicated as a cause of decreased distributions and abundances of many Great Plains fishes. However, scant empirical evidence quantifying movement and relating the contribution of spatial linkages to population abundances and resilience exists. We used otolith microchemistry analysis to characterize the movements of western silvery minnows (Hybognathus argyritis Girard, 1856), flathead chubs (Platygobio gracilis (Richardson, 1836)), and sand shiners (Notropis stramineus (Cope, 1865)) between the Yellowstone River and its tributaries. Sixty-nine percent of western silvery minnows, 65% of flathead chubs, and 42% of sand shiners moved between the Yellowstone River and tributaries. Mean total number of interchanges was highest among western silvery minnows (4.8 interchanges/mover), intermediate among flathead chubs (4.3 interchanges/mover), and lowest among sand shiners (1.4 interchanges/mover; P < 0.01). Natal movements were rare, but juvenile movements were common and frequent among all three species. Movements between main-stem and tributary habitats are probably prominent facets of the life cycles of other Great Plains minnows. Therefore, connectivity among such habitats should be a high conservation priority to enhance the long-term viability of such fishes.
Résumé
Il a été proposé qu’une réduction de la connectivité de populations serait une cause des diminutions des aires de répartition et des abondances de nombreux poissons des grandes plaines de l’Amérique du Nord. Il existe toutefois peu de données empiriques permettant de quantifier les déplacements et de relier la contribution des liens spatiaux à l’abondance et à la résilience des populations. Nous utilisons l’analyse microchimique d’otolites pour caractériser les déplacements de ménés d’argent de l’Ouest (Hybognathus argyritis Girard, 1856), de ménés à tête plate (Platygobio gracilis (Richardson, 1836)) et de ménés paille (Notropis stramineus (Cope, 1865)) entre la rivière Yellowstone et ses affluents. Soixante-neuf pour cent des ménés d’argent de l’Ouest, 65 % des ménés à tête plate et 42 % des ménés paille s’étaient déplacés entre la rivière Yellowstone et ses affluents. Le nombre total moyen de tels échanges était le plus élevé pour les ménés d’argent de l’Ouest (4,8 échanges/poisson déplacé), intermédiaire pour les ménés à tête plate (4,3 échanges/poisson déplacé) et le plus faible pour les ménés pailles (1,4 échanges/poisson déplacé; P < 0,01). Si les déplacements de spécimens natals sont rares, les déplacements de juvéniles sont répandus et fréquents chez les trois espèces. Les déplacements entre habitats du cours principal de la rivière et de ses affluents constituent probablement des facettes importantes des cycles biologiques d’autres ménés des grandes plaines. La connectivité entre ces habitats devrait donc constituer une priorité de conservation afin de rehausser la viabilité à long terme de ces poissons. [Traduit par la Rédaction]
