OverviewAI-generated summary

Kyler B. Hecke's research focuses on fish ecology and conservation, with recent work investigating the status and distribution of freshwater mussels and darters in various Arkansas and Tennessee watersheds. He has examined the spatiotemporal distribution of the Sickle Darter ( *Percina williamsi* ) in the upper Tennessee River Basin and studied its movement and home range in the Emory River. His publications also explore morphological variation in stream fish across environmental gradients and the seasonal community occupancy of fishes in headwater streams. Hecke has also investigated dietary extraction methods for darters and reassessed preserved specimens in natural history collections to adapt to taxonomic changes within the Etheostomatinae subfamily. His work contributes to understanding fish and mussel populations, their habitats, and taxonomic considerations within these aquatic communities.
