Little is known about the transformer stage of the parasitic lampreys, a brief but critical period that encompasses juvenile out-migration from rivers to lakes or oceans to begin parasitic feeding. Information about this life stage could have significant
In a first analysis, I built a series of regression models to predict larval sea lamprey habitat across the lower peninsula of Michigan. I used the geomorphological concept of process domains as a justification for using regression trees to both stratify the dataset and fit a regression model to...

While there is room for improving the accuracy of the system, this research presents the first step toward an electronic sea lamprey monitoring system that can provide a detailed view of sea lamprey activity enhancing control and conservation efforts across its entire range.Ian González-Afanador...
After selecting the "best model", we tested factors that might affect recruitment variation, using a Great Lakes dataset comprising 97 stream–years. Lake Superior tributaries, streams with larger numbers of lamprey competitors, and streams regularly requiring lampricide treatment showed significantly ...
Here, we explore incidental captures of juvenile sea lamprey and their hosts from northern Lake Huron between 1987 and 2017 (n = 33,246 observations) to address four objectives. Firstly, we document collection efforts by fishers to provide historical context to the dataset. Secondly, we pose ...

In fish, the first IL-8 was identified in lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) [19]. Subsequently, this molecule has been characterized in several other fish species, such as Japanese flounder [20], rainbow trout [21,22], common carp [23], catfish [24], zebrafish [25] and Atlantic cod [26...
vexillum. We note in passing that the RUNX family has undergone additional duplications in the lampreys (Figure S24). Ortholog groups determined by the eggNOG database were used to transfer the annotation to the corresponding orthologs in D. vexillum. General ontology terms (e.g., cellular, ...
