<p><span>Population declines of lamprey species have largely been attributed to habitat degradation, yet there still remain many unanswered questions about the relationships between lampreys and their habitats (</span><a class="link__reference js-link__reference" title="Link to bibliographic citation" rel="references:#b14" href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/enhanced/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0633.2011.00532.x#b14">Torgensen & Close 2004</a><span>; </span><a class="link__reference js-link__reference" title="Link to bibliographic citation" rel="references:#b12" href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/enhanced/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0633.2011.00532.x#b12">Smith et al. 2011</a><span>). One scarcely researched area of lamprey ecology is the effect of predation on lampreys (</span><a class="link__reference js-link__reference" title="Link to bibliographic citation" rel="references:#b2" href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/enhanced/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0633.2011.00532.x#b2">Cochran 2009</a><span>). Specifically, the influence of available habitat on predation risk has not been documented for larval lampreys but may be important to the management and conservation of lamprey populations.</span></p>
