title = "Spawning schedule of the imperiled Bigeye Chub (Hybopsis amblops) in Illinois",
abstract = "The Bigeye Chub (Hybopsis amblops) once inhabited streams and rivers in eastern and southeastern Illinois and was thought to be extirpated in the state by the 1970s. However, it was rediscovered in the 1990s from the Little Vermilion River. Today, H. amblops has become widespread and locally abundant in streams of the Wabash River drainage. Currently, little is known about the spawning and reproductive ecology of H. amblops. We conducted a study in the Salt Fork Vermilion River to determine the spawning schedule and microhabitats of H. amblops. Based upon near-weekly samples in May and June in 2019 and 2021, we determined H. amblops spawns in moderate water velocity over sandy gravel substrates when water temperatures are between 18–22 °C. Understanding such ecological traits is necessary for the continued success of H. amblops throughout its range.",

note = "Funding Information: Primary funding for this project was provided by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) through a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State Wildlife Grant (T-118-R-1). The Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, and the Illinois Natural History Survey also provided funding support for this project. We thank J. Ellis for providing access to the University of Illinois' Richter Research Area. We also thank K. Conaster, I. Hanson, J. Reinhofer, and P. Willink for assisting with sample collection. We thank A. Rahlin for providing a critical review of our Bayesian methods and interpretations and B. Stallsmith for sharing accounts of Bigeye Chub from their study in Alabama. Fishes were collected under the University of Illinois' Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) Protocol #19241. We conducted research under IDNR Threatened and Endangered Species Permits 3854 (2019) and 10766 (2021). Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2022 The Author(s).
