Fishes of the Wakarusa River in Kansas

Fishes of the Wakarusa River in Kansas, authored by James E. Deacon in the early 1960s, is a scientific analysis of the fish species in the Wakarusa River and its tributaries. The book presents findings from fish collections made in 1959, comparing current biodiversity with historical data over six decades. It categorizes fish fauna based on habitat preferences and discusses the impact of drought on local fish populations, highlighting ecological changes in Kansas's freshwater ecosystems. This work is essential for biologists and environmentalists studying aquatic life and conservation in the region.
