First evidence of grass carp recruitment in the Great Lakes Basin (2013, background): “Although rheophilic-spawning Asian carps sometimes do spawn without a hydrograph peak (Kolar et al., 2007; Coulter et al., 2013), mass spawning events of grass carp have long been known to occur primarily on the rising limb of substantial peaks in the hydrograph (Yi et al.”
Experimental observations on the decay of environmental DNA from bighead and silver carps (2017, methodology): “Samples were run in a multiplex reaction that included a TaqMan® qPCR primer/probe set previously designed for H. molitrix (Coulter et al. 2013) along with an internal positive control (IPC).”
First direct confirmation of grass carp spawning in a Great Lakes tributary (2016, background): “Although high flowswere associated with spawning evidence collected in 2015, others have demonstrated that non-native populations of Asian carps have successfully spawned despite only low-magnitude changes in flow (Aliyev, 1976; Coulter et al., 2013).”
