Patterns in bird and pollinator occupancy and richness in a mosaic of urban office parks across scales and seasons

Ecology and Evolution
Urbanization is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, yet cities can provide resources required by many species throughout the year. In recognition of this, cities around the world are adopting strategies to increase biodiversity.

Paradigms and Principles for Integrating Nature Technology Data: Challenges, Opportunities, and Next Steps in Real‐World Biodiversity Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We propose a set of paradigms (survey design, tip and cue, validation, consilience, interpolation and extrapolation, and data fusion) and prioritize a set of principles (metadata standards, use rights and licensing, scientific rigor, and utility) as the foundations of an actionable framework for nature technology data integration. We then analyze seven

Multistressor Interaction of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Temperature in Two Estuarine Fish Species, Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is characterized by a long, fluorinated carbon chain which makes it ideal for oil‐ and water‐repellent products but detrimental for the environment, where it persists and accumulates in organisms.

Contrasted Impacts of Yellow Flag Iris (Iris pseudacorus) on Plant Diversity in Tidal Wetlands within Its Native and Invaded Distribution Ranges

Diversity, 2022
We conducted an intercontinental biogeographic survey to analyze the effects of an invasive plant species in its native and invaded ranges. Our study system included tidal wetlands colonized by Iris pseudacorus L.

The San Francisco Estuary Institute Collection at the NIST Biorepository

, 2021
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been collaborating with the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) since 2009, providing biobanking services at the NIST Biorepository in Charleston, South Carolina, in support of their ongoing water quality monitoring program, the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in the San ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Spawning behaviour between endemic delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and non‐native Wakasagi (H. nipponensis) in the San Francisco estuary

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the San Francisco Estuary, non‐native Wakasagi Hypomesus nipponensis hybridize with endemic and endangered Delta Smelt H. transpacificus, and all wild‐caught hybrids have a maternal Wakasagi parent. However, the mechanisms that facilitate or impede hybridization and explain sex‐biased hybrid asymmetry between these two species remain ...

Potential for Increased Mercury Accumulation in the Estuary Food Web

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2003
Present concentrations of mercury in large portions of San Francisco Bay (Bay), the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta), and the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers are high enough to warrant concern for the health of humans and wildlife.

Method of meal delivery influences estimates of postprandial metabolism and alkaline tide in a benthic fish

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intragastric gavage is widely used in studies of digestive physiology to deliver standardised meals, yet it remains unclear whether it elicits postprandial metabolic and acid–base responses comparable to voluntary feeding. Here, we tested whether the method of meal delivery affects the magnitude and timing of the postprandial rise in metabolic

Fish assemblage at a newly restored tidal wetland reflects surrounding waterways in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We studied the response of fish assemblages, water quality, and plankton following the completion of 700 acres of a 1184‐acre tidal restoration project (Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration; DSTR) in a system degraded by water diversions, channelization, non‐native species, and wetland loss.
