Shaley A. Valentine

Shaley A. Valentine studies the feeding relationships and habitat use of fish in rivers, focusing especially on large river systems like the Mississippi River and species such as lake sturgeon and zebrafish. This work examines how fish diets, food webs, and growth are shaped by river conditions, food availability, and life stage, with applications for conservation and fish hatchery management. Related work also looks at broader patterns linking diet and trophic level (an organism's position in the food chain) to extinction risk in vertebrates.

Publication output has been uneven over the last decade, with gaps in some years followed by a recent increase in output in 2024-2026.
