| Comments | Trautman (1981) discussed the movement of F. notatus into the range of F. d. menona while the latter was in decline and hypothesized that reduction of F. d. menona populations may have permitted the invasion of F. notatus. Trautman (op. cit.) did not collect F. notatus in the Portage River basin, but it has apparently either colonized the basin recently or greatly expanded a formerly small population since it was taken in abundance with F, d, menona in the headwaters and was also common at several downstream sites (OEPA unpubl., W. Poly pers. obs. 23 May 1995). Hoke et al. (1979) also did not collect F. notatus from the lower Portage River in 1975; therefore, the invasion of F. notatus may have been very recent. |
