An assessment of future tidal marsh resilience in the San Francisco Estuary through modeling and quantifiable metrics of sustainability

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Quantitative, broadly applicable metrics of resilience are needed to effectively manage tidal marshes into the future. Here we quantified three metrics of temporal marsh resilience: time to marsh drowning, time to marsh tipping point, and the probability

Status of the Siberian Prawn, Exopalaemon modestus, in the San Francisco Estuary [PDF]

open access: yesSan Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2014
The freshwater Siberian prawn, Exopalaemon modestus (Heller 1862, Crustacea: Decapoda: Palaemonidae), was likely introduced into the San Francisco Estuary in the late 1990s. Since the initial collection in 2000, E.

Living Fossils: Sturgeon of the San Francisco Estuary [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers for Young Minds, 2021
Sturgeon are fish that are considered living fossils. Their ancestors date back over 200 million years, to the same time as dinosaurs. These fish can grow taller than humans (over 2 m), weigh over 160 kg, and live as long as humans. Sturgeon species have special adaptations, such as a vacuum-like mouth and body armor called scutes. There are 27 species

Feeding habits and novel prey of larval fishes in the northern San Francisco Estuary

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2021
Food limitation can dampen the survival and growth of fish species during early development. To investigate prey diversity important to the planktivorous larval longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) and Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) from the San ...

Assessing anthropogenic risk to sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) for reintroduction into San Francisco Bay [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Southern sea otters have been actively managed for their conservation and recovery since listing on the federal Endangered Species Act in 1977. Still, they remain constrained to a geographically small area on the central coast of California relative to ...

The San Francisco Estuary, USA as a reference section for the Anthropocene series [PDF]

open access: yesThe Anthropocene Review, 2023
A San Francisco Estuary core was analysed at high resolution to assess its component stratigraphic signatures of the Anthropocene in the form of non-native species, Hg, spheroidal carbonaceous particles, δ 13 C org , δ 15
