OverviewAI-generated summary
Kyler B. Hecke's research investigates the distribution, movement, and population dynamics of freshwater fishes and mussels. His work has examined the status and distribution of freshwater mussels in Bayou Bartholomew, Louisiana, and the Moro Creek Watershed in Arkansas. He has also studied the spatiotemporal assessment and movement patterns of the Sickle Darter ( *Percina williamsi* ) in the upper Tennessee River Basin. His publications explore morphological variation in stream fishes across environmental gradients, seasonal community occupancy in headwater streams, and the efficacy of gastric lavage as a non-lethal diet extraction method for darters. Hecke also contributes to the reassessment of museum specimens in light of taxonomic changes within the Etheostomatinae subfamily.
