| Title | Examination of the Ecological Differences Between Two Closely Related Endemic Whitefish in Relation to Growth Conditions and Predation Risk |
| Creator | Kennedy, Benjamen M. |
| Description | Benthic Bear Lake whitefish (Prosopium abyssicola) and Bonneville whitefish (P. spilontus) are closely related, yet the extent of ecological separation remains poorly understood. We described their spring and summer distribution and diet in Bear Lake and examined how these were related to environmental growth conditions, and predation risk. In spring and summer, Bonneville whitefish dominated shallower depths (5-30 m), whereas Bear Lake whitefish dominated deeper depths (45-55 m). At... |
