Range Extent Comments

Wabash River drainage; northward and eastward in the upper Mississippi and middle Missouri rivers in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Missouri, southwestward in the Missouri and Arkansas rivers in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, and the Ouachita River in Arkansas; ranges northward to southeastern Manitoba (Wood et al. 2002).

Occurrences Comments

This species is represented by a large number of subpopulations and locations.

Threat Impact Comments

In Manitoba, threatened by agricultural land use practices and damming (Houston 1996).

Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

Typically in clear, swift, large creeks and small rivers with bottoms of clean gravel or rubble; usually in or around riffles (Lee et al. 1980), in rocky runs and flowing pools. May move into deeper pools and eddies in winter (Becker 1983). Sometimes in lakes near streams. Spawns in aggregations in clear clean-bottomed pools, often in upper parts of riffles, upstream from or over nesting common shiners, horneyhead chubs, or sunfishes. Eggs sink and stick to objects.

Reproduction

Spawns from May to June in Wisconsin and Illinois, as late as July in Iowa; eggs hatch in about 2.5 days; lives to age 3 (Becker 1983).
