Climate change is intensifying the effects of multiple interacting stressors on aquatic
ecosystems worldwide. In the San Francisco Estuary, signals of climate change are …

Effective conservation of endangered species requires knowledge of the full range of life-
history strategies used to maximize population resilience within a stochastic and ever …

Aquatic organisms are challenged by changes in their external environment, such as
temperature and salinity fluctuations. If these variables interacted with each other, the …

The magnitude and frequency of extreme warming events over the last decades pose
threats to biodiversity. In the near future, heatwaves will become even more frequent and …

The effects of water temperature on individual and group movement behaviour in prey fish
can affect ecological interactions such as competition and predation, but how variability in …

Temperature and salinity often define the distributions of aquatic organisms. This is at least
partially true for Delta Smelt, an imperiled species endemic to the upper San Francisco …

Along the Gulf ofAlaska, rapid glacier retreat has driven changes in transport of freshwater,
sediments, and nutrients to estuary habitats. Over the coming decades, deglaciation will …

Many estuarine ecosystems and the fish communities that inhabit them have undergone
substantial changes in the past several decades, largely due to multiple interacting stressors …

Understanding how environmental drivers influence the assembly of parasite communities,
in addition to how parasites may interact at an infracommunity level, are fundamental …

Rationale Oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O values) of fish otoliths (ear bones) are valuable
geochemical tracers of water conditions and thermal life history. Delta Smelt (Hypomesus …
