Rio Grande shiner (Notropis jemezanus); phantom shiner (Notropis orca); and Rio Grande bluntnose shiner (Notropis simus simus)) within the middle Rio Grande that had similar reproductive attributes, but these species are now either extinct or extirpated (Platania 1991). More

Rio Grande shiner and the speckled chub, have been extirpated from the middle Rio Grande. Studies suggest that the culprits are dams and irrigation diversions. "When species are going extinct, you know something is wrong with that river," says Smith. More

River shiner, plains minnow, red shiner, and Rio Grande shiner were collected at every location with the Pecos bluntnose shiner while speckled chub were collected in all except one (12). The modified 1981-1982 (06,07) and 1986 (11,12) data on species associations compare quite favorably (12). More
