Dan Rice, co-author of A Naturalist’s Guide to Ohio’s Fishes, will present the diverse world of Ohio’s Darters, a group of fish endemic to the continent. Most darter species inhabit clean riffles and quickly-flowing waters where they glean small aquatic insects inhabiting the undersurface of boulders and rocks, but darters can even be found in sandy substrates and lakes. Dan will introduce you to the dazzling colors, biographies, and often restricted distribution of these charismatic and extremely colorful little fish. 

A native of southern Indiana, Dan attended the University of Missouri (BS Zoology 1973) before earning his master’s degree in the Ohio Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit at OSU in 1976. Hired as a zoologist by The Nature Conservancy in 1976 to document the locations of rare and endangered species for the Ohio Natural Heritage Program, Dan joined the Division of Natural Areas and Preserves (ODNR) in 1978 following the transfer of the Heritage Program to that division.  Dan was introduced to Ohio’s resident fish in 1980 by Dr. George Phinney at Otterbein College when they collaborated on a survey of Ohio glacial lakes to document populations of Iowa Darters and other rare fish found in these habitats. Until his retirement from ODNR in 2002 Dan had the fun and privilege of working with both amateur and professional biologists (and students) throughout Ohio in the pursuit of many of the state’s rarer animals. Dan is a co-author on three books; “The Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas (1991), “Native Fishes of Ohio” (2014), and “A Naturalists Guide to the Fishes of Ohio” (2019). Dan is also a co-author on a number of other papers documenting the occurrence of rare species of fish and bivalves in Ohio.
