Abstract This study compared patterns of δ15N and δ13C enrichment of pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus and shovelnose sturgeon S. platorynchus in the Missouri River, United States, to infer their trophic position in a large river system. We examined enrichment and energy flow for pallid sturgeon in three segments of the Missouri River (Montana/North Dakota, Nebraska/South Dakota, and Nebraska/Iowa) and made comparisons between species in the two downstream segments (Nebraska/South Dakota and Nebraska/Iowa). Patterns in isotopic composition for pallid sturgeon were consistent with gut content analyses indicating an ontogenetic diet shift from invertebrates to fish prey at sizes of >500-mm fork length (FL) in all three segments of the Missouri River. Isotopic patterns revealed shovelnose sturgeon did not experience an ontogenetic shift in diet and used similar prey resources as small (<500-mm FL) pallid sturgeon in the two downstream segments. We found stable isotope analysis to be an effective tool for evaluating the trophic position of sturgeons within a large river food web.

Glacial Relict

The pygmy whitefish (Prosopium coulterii (Eigenmann and Eigenmann, 1892)) is a glacial relict species with a disjunct North American distribution that, apart from its most easterly known location in Lake Superior, is predominantly found in northern and western regions of Canada. Here we report on a new finding of pygmy whitefish from Winnange Lake in northwestern Ontario that extends the range of this species ∼320 km from its most easterly distribution in Lake Superior and almost 1500 km east of the closest previously known western localities. Genetic analyses confirmed that the fish from Winnange Lake were most closely related to the lineage that includes fish from Lake Superior and likely also originated via postglacial dispersal from a refugium in the upper Mississippi – Missouri river system.
