OverviewAI-generated summary
Brittany L. McCall's research focuses on the conservation genetics and population characteristics of endemic fish species in the Ouachita Highlands region of Arkansas. Her work investigates the distribution, abundance, habitat, and life history of species such as the paleback darter (<scp><i>Etheostoma pallididorsum</i></scp>) and the Caddo madtom (<scp><i>Noturus taylori</i></scp>). A significant area of her research involves assessing the acclimation capacity and thermal tolerance of these narrow endemic catfishes, comparing them with more broadly distributed species. This work aims to understand how environmental factors, including climate change, may impact these vulnerable populations. McCall collaborates with Brook L. Fluker on several shared publications, contributing to the understanding of Arkansas's native fish fauna.
