Resistance and resilience of pelagic and littoral fishes to drought in the San Francisco Estuary. [PDF]
Ecol Appl, 2021 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 that are often of anthropogenic origin. Few are more impactful than droughts, which are predicted to increase in both frequency and severity with climate change. In this study,

Chinook salmon and green sturgeon migrate through San Francisco Estuary despite large distortions in the local magnetic field produced by bridges. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Empirical evidence exists that some marine animals perceive and orient to local distortions in the earth's main static geomagnetic field. The magnetic fields produced by undersea electric power cables that carry electricity from hydrokinetic energy ...

Four decades of water quality change in the upper San Francisco Estuary. [PDF]
Estuar Coast Shelf Sci, 2018 Quantitative descriptions of chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of estuaries are critical for developing an ecological understanding of drivers of change. Historical trends and relationships between key species of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (ammonium, nitrate/nitrite, total) from the Delta region of the San Francisco Estuary were ...

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