| Abstract | In Illinois, the stripetail darter Etheostoma kennicotti and spottail darter Etheostoma squamiceps are restricted to tributaries of the Ohio River. Because of their narrow ranges, we examined the status, distribution, and habitat preferences of E. kennicotti and E. squamiceps in streams in the Shawnee National Forest, Illinois, during June 2009 to determine whether these species warrant listing under the Illinois Endangered Species Protection Act. These two fishes were the most abundant darters found and were commonly collected under slab rock and occurred in multiple basins throughout the Shawnee National Forest. Because of its high abundance and occurrence in multiple basins, we feel that neither E. kennicotti nor E. squamiceps warrant listing at this time. |
