Tidal marsh wetlands provide important foraging habitat for a variety of estuarine fishes.
Prey organisms include benthic–epibenthic macroinvertebrates, neustonic arthropods, and …

The San Francisco Bay and delta system comprises the largest estuary along the Pacific
Coast of the Americas and the largest remaining area for tidal-marsh vertebrates, yet tidal …

Tidal-marsh vertebrates experience two distinct challenges to successful reproduction:
inundation of the soil with water, which is variable and often unpredictable, and the simple …

The study of ecological convergence, the evolution of similar traits on multiple occasions in
response to similar conditions, is a powerful method for developing and testing adaptive …

Conditions favoring population divergence in trophic features, such as the low levels of
species richness and interspecific competition found on islands, can be similar to conditions …

Many invading species impact native species through predation, parasitism or competition,
while others affect natives indirectly by restructuring their habitat. How invasive plants affect …

The effects of habitat-management practices in coastal marshes have been poorly
evaluated. We summarize the extant literature concerning whether these manipulations …

Bill size is often viewed as a species‐specific adaptation for feeding, but it sometimes varies
between sexes, suggesting that sexual selection or intersexual competition may also be …

We measured the influence of landscape setting on estuarine food web connectivity in five
macrotidal Pacific Northwest estuaries across a gradient of freshwater influence. We used …

We measured δ 13 C, δ 15 N and δ 34 S signatures of natural and translocated mussels
Ischadium demissum to identify food web source differences among estuarine marshes …
