Ecology And Life History Of The Speckled Madtom, Noturus Leptacanthus (Ictaluridae), Kathleen E. Clark

Master's Theses

This research represents an effort to understand the life history, strategy, and ecological relationships of Noturus leptacanthus. In particular I have tried to compare the combination of low fecundity, large egg size, parental car , and marked sexual dimorphism in leptacanthus with the patterns of these parameters in other ictalurid species.
