Abstract

Shortnose gar foraged on spent periodical cicadas floating on the surface during a mass coemergence of 13- and 17-y broods. The largest gar in each pool of an observed stream reach was positioned at the upstream pool lip. Ambient cicada drift was observed and increased feeding trials were used to investigate the observed pattern. The largest gar defended the upstream pool lip from other gar in the pool and consistently consumed more cicadas than any other single gar.
