Lampreys worldwide face multiple anthropogenic stressors. Several species are 'at-risk' listed, yet abundance data for most remain insufficient to adequately assess conservation status. Lamprey population declines largely due habitat degradation and fragmentation, pollution, exploitation. Conservation priorities include: quantification of trends distribution; identification Evolutionarily Significant Units; improved water quality habitat; barrier removal or effective mitigation;...
Lampreys are jawless fishes that evolved hundreds of millions years ago and exhibit multiple varied life history strategies. Rapid changes in the current climate clear, warming temperatures precipitation patterns over past several decades projected to continue into foreseeable future. The effects our changing may impact lamprey species worldwide ways already recorded for other taxa including range contractions. In order manage conserve native mitigate potential impacts from change, it is...
Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a species of conservation concern in their native range the Atlantic coasts Europe (Near Threatened to Critically Endangered) and North America (Secure Imperiled), an invasive great economic ecological Laurentian Great Lakes. Despite differences life history strategy (anadromous natives vs adfluvial non-natives), biology sea sufficiently similar expect comparable responses large-scale environmental change. We take prospective look at future (50 100 years)...
Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) are a native anadromous species that, like salmon, historically returned to spawn in large numbers watersheds along the west coast of United States (U.S.). play vital role river ecosystems and one oldest vertebrates that have persisted over time likely influencing evolution many aquatic species. declined abundance restricted distribution throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho California. A key uncertainty status is impact climate change. We modified...
Abstract Native lampreys continue to be misunderstood by some citizens in the Pacific Northwest (PNW; USA). This misunderstanding is caused persistent misperceptions reinforced media and exacerbated a long‐running (mid‐1900s present) pervasive outreach campaign on control of invasive sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus ) Laurentian Great Lakes, Lake Champlain Finger Lakes New York. The use encourage conservation native PNW has been comparatively recent. Along with other non‐salmonid fishes,...
Impact statement A symposium at the 2022 American Fisheries Society meeting highlighted collaborations among biologists, policymakers, and Native tribes addressing conservation for native lampreys. We present key findings from related research an example of grassroots effort to protect restore Pacific Lamprey.
