External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Bluegill. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110610150922/http://www.dnr.state.mn.us:80/fish/bluegill.html to http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fish/bluegill.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Adaptations Section Editing

Hello all,

I am a student participating in a project for my evolutionary biology class and have been tasked with adding a substantial amount of peer-reviewed information onto this Wikipedia page. For this project, I am planning on providing more information on the structural morphology of the bluegill. Most notably, I will be using scientific journal sources to shed light on the mechanism of backwards swimming in the bluegill and tying that into the predator escape response and the prey capturing response in the species.

I have compiled a list of 10 potentially useful sources for this project. They are as follows:

• Functional morphology and hydrodynamics of backward swimming in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (Flammang & Lauder, 2016)
• Three-dimensional analysis of scale morphology in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (Wainwright & Lauder, 2016)
• Pectoral fins aid in navigation of a complex environment by bluegill sunfish under sensory deprivation conditions (Flammang & Lauder, 2013)
• Functional Morphology of the Fin Rays of Teleost Fishes (Flammang, Alben, Madden, & Lauder, 2013)
• Caudal fin shape modulation and control during acceleration, braking and backing maneuvers in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (Flammang & Lauder, 2008)
• Speed-dependent intrinsic caudal fin muscle recruitment during steady swimming in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (Flammang & Lauder, 2007)
• Hydrodynamics of the escape response in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (Tytell & Lauder, 2008)
• The Mauthner Cell Half a Century Later: A Neurobiological Model for Decision-Making? (Korn & Faber, 2005)
• Median fin function in bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus: streamwise vortex structure during steady swimming (Tytell 2006)
• Dorsal and anal fin function in bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus: three-dimensional kinematics during propulsion and maneuvering (Standen & Lauder, 2005)
• Foraging Efficiency and Body Size: A Study of Optimal Diet and Habitat Use by Bluegills (Mittelbach 1981)

Any constructive criticism in regards to this project, the outline of my goals, or the literature I have listed is encouraged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukec37 (talk • contribs) 03:47, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Type Species…

Hi all,

This article claims that Bluegill is the type species of the Lepomis genus, but I have read elsewhere that the Redbreast Sunfish (L. auritus) actually claims this title.

Any insight on this? Wesd603 (talk) 17:45, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
