Direct observations of marine ecosystems are inherently limited in their temporal scope. Yet, ongoing global anthropogenic change urgently requires improved understanding long-term baselines, greater insight into the relationship between climate and biodiversity, and knowledge evolutionary consequences our actions. Sediment cores can provide this understanding by linking data on responses of marine biota to reconstructions past environmental climatic change. Given continuous...
The loss of biodiversity and biotic homogenization are on the rise in ecosystems around world as a result species invasions, habitat degradation, effects climate change. In Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, non-native make up majority fish community, declines native have been well documented; however, little is known about whether these trends resulted homogenization. this study, we used data from long-term beach seine survey to analyze regional beta diversity nearshore assemblages Delta 1995...
The current study collected the first quantitative data on lateral line pore squamation patterns in sharks and assessed whether divergent are similar to experimental models that cause reduction boundary layer turbulence. In addition, hypothesis orientation angles exclusively found fast‐swimming shark species was tested. posterior supraorbital of pelagic shortfin mako Isurus oxyrinchus slow‐swimming epi‐benthic spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias examined. Pore scale morphology coverage were...
The San Francisco Estuary is an incredibly diverse ecosystem with a mosaic of aquatic habitats inhabited by number economically, culturally, and ecologically important fish species. To monitor the temporal spatial trends this rich community, long-term monitoring programs within estuary use variety gear types to capture species across life stages habitats. However, concerns have been raised that current sampling gears may fail detect certain species—or stages—that inhabit areas are not...
