We analyzed genetic variation and abundance at paired sites above and below road crossings. Road crossings did not have a strong effect on presence, abundance, or genetic differentiation of Clinch Dace. Of all sites where Clinch Dace were found, only 1 perched culvert presented a barrier to upstream migration; however, no genetic differentiation was found between collections above and below that or any other culvert. Distribution and abundance of Clinch Dace populations were not influenced by habitat variables measured at the site level. Low abundance in small headwaters, nest association, and high mobility appear to be characteristics of this species of Chrosomus.Pages 709-722application/pdfenIn Copyright (InC)Ecology05 Environmental Sciences06 Biological SciencesAre Road Crossings Fragmenting Populations of Clinch Dace?Article - Refereed2020-12-29Northeastern Naturalisthttps://doi.org/10.1656/045.027.0411274Orth, Donald [0000-0002-9236-0147]
