Abstract Effective conservation of endangered species requires knowledge the full range life-history strategies used to maximize population resilience within a stochastic and ever-changing environment. California’s endemic Delta Smelt ( Hypomesus transpacificus ) is rapidly approaching extinction in San Francisco Estuary, placing it crossfire between human environmental uses limited freshwater resources. Though managed as semi-anadromous species, recent studies have challenged this lifecycle...
Ecosystem management and governance of cross-scale dependent systems require integrating knowledge about ecological connectivity in its multiple forms scales. Although scientists, managers, policymakers are increasingly recognizing the importance connectivity, governmental organizations may not be currently equipped to manage ecosystems with strong cross-boundary dependencies. Managing different aspects requires building social increase flow information, as well capacity coordinate planning,...
Effective species management depends on accurate estimates of population size. There are, however, no annual juvenile production for Central Valley spring-run Chinook Salmon (“spring run”), a highly imperiled in California, making it difficult to evaluate status and effectively manage key issues such as entrainment this at water diversions. In recognition critical information gap, we initiated an effort develop estimate (JPE) spring run, defined here forecast the number that enter...
Increases in water temperature caused by climate change will challenge and species management the San Francisco Estuary. Our goals were to describe spatial seasonal patterns across upper Estuary, evaluate how stress suitability vary aquatic ecosystem. We synthesized 10 years of continuous data at 75 stations six regions Estuary between 2010 2019. identified stressful thresholds for interest using published physiological limits observed distribution, including ESA-listed native (e.g.,...
Estuaries are special places that form where freshwater from the land mixes with saltwater ocean, which is pushed inland by tides. This mixing creates diverse habitats support a variety of specially adapted species. In estuaries Mediterranean climates (similar to region in Europe), winters wet and summers dry. Some have lots rain, others almost none. The animals plants California’s San Francisco Estuary these variable conditions. But humans changed how when water flows through Estuary,...
