OverviewAI-generated summary

Brook L. Fluker's research focuses on the conservation and population genetics of fish species endemic to the Ouachita and Interior Highlands regions of Arkansas. Fluker has investigated the paleback darter (<scp><i>Etheostoma pallididorsum</i></scp>), the trispot darter (<scp><i>Etheostoma trisella</i></scp>), the Caddo madtom (<scp><i>Noturus taylori</i></scp>), and the Interior Highlands walleye (<scp><i>Sander vitreus</i></scp>). Publications examine their distribution, abundance, habitat, life history, and genetic differences. Studies also explore the comparative acclimation capacity and thermal tolerance of madtom catfish species and critical thermal maxima of endemic catfishes.

Fluker has co-authored 15 publications, with an h-index of 6 and 184 total citations. Key collaborators include Brittany L. McCall and Dustin R. Thomas, both from Arkansas State University, with whom Fluker has shared multiple publications.
