Four species of pelagic fish of particular management concern in the upper San Francisco
Estuary, California, USA, have declined precipitously since ca. 2002: delta smelt …

The transition from freshwater to seawater is integral to the life history of many fishes.
Diverse migratory fishes express anadromous, catadromous, and amphidromous life …

Investigating the effects of climatic variability on biological diversity, productivity, and stability
is key to understanding possible futures for ecosystems under accelerating climate change …

Coastal estuaries are among the most heavily impacted ecosystems worldwide with many
keystone fauna critically endangered. The delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is an …

Marsh habitats have been the focus of recent worldwide restoration efforts due to their

We used hydrodynamic and particle‐tracking models to investigate vertical movement of
plankton and resulting retention in the San Francisco Estuary. The hydrodynamic model was …

Migration strategies in estuarine fishes typically include behavioral adaptations for reducing
energetic costs and mortality during travel to optimize reproductive success. The influence of …

We present the longest available dataset (by 15 years) of estuarine zooplankton abundance
worldwide. Zooplankton have been monitored throughout the upper San Francisco Estuary …
