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

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

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Temporal genetic studies of low‐dispersing organisms are rare. Marine invertebrates lacking a planktonic larval stage are expected to have lower dispersal, low gene flow, and a higher potential for local adaptation than organisms with planktonic ...

Powering Life in the Water: Phytoplankton in the San Francisco Estuary [PDF]
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2021 Phytoplankton are probably the most important aquatic organisms that you have NEVER seen! Phytoplankton are nearly invisible and use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrients in water to produce sugars that power the estuary food web. The amount of phytoplankton growth is important because phytoplankton are the food for aquatic animals like zooplankton ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Most species of whales are vulnerable to vessel collisions, and the probability of lethality increases logistically with vessel speed. An Automatic Identification System (AIS) can provide valuable vessel activity data, but terrestrial-based AIS has a ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Dietary specialization is common in animals and has important implications for individual fitness, inter‐ and intraspecific competition, and the adaptive potential of a species. Diet composition can be influenced by age‐ and sex‐related factors including

Delivering Food to Hungry Fish in the San Francisco Estuary [PDF]
Frontiers for Young Minds, 2021 The San Francisco Estuary is home to an important endangered fish called delta smelt. Delta smelt eat small, nutritious animals called zooplankton to survive and grow. In turn, zooplankton grow by eating microscopic plant-like organisms called phytoplankton. In the past, the Estuary was full of plankton and delta smelt.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Thermal extremes alter population processes, which can result in part from temperature-induced movement at different spatial and temporal scales. Thermal thresholds for animal movement likely change based on underlying thermal physiology and life-history
