I'm actually doing some work with RR pupfish. We first collected them in
the Canadian last year-in-Atwood and Calvin. We then went East to the
confluence with lake Eufaula, but failed to collect them.
We sampled lake Eufaula again twice this June and again failed to collect
them. However, following heavy flows in early July we found them very
abundant there in both the river and the lake. We also collected redfin and
orangethroat darters in the drainage which were new records for the area.
We submitted vouchers to OSU and are preparing a short manuscript on these
range extensions.
.
The habitat changes very little from here to Norman, and the pupfish have no
trouble fitting in this far east. I wonder what keeps zebrinus from
migrating east? Any ideas?
