The molecular ecology of Microcystis sp. blooms in the San Francisco Estuary

Environmental Microbiology, 2017
Summary Harmful blooms of the cyanobacterium Microcystis sp. have become increasingly pervasive in the San Francisco Estuary Delta (USA) since the early 2000s and their rise has coincided with substantial decreases in several important fish species.

Giant phytoplankton revealed by in situ imaging

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Deployment of an autonomous Zooglider in the western Mediterranean Sea revealed the presence of long phytoplankton chains attaining maximum lengths of 6.4–10.4 mm suspended in situ. Elongate chains included the diatoms Guinardia, Proboscia, two other diatom morphologies, and solitary filaments of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. Most elongate

Stayin' alive: Strategies to reduce predation on target species are context dependent

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Restoration and conservation efforts often aim to reduce predation, particularly by reducing interactions with nonnative predators in heavily disturbed and invaded ecosystems. For Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, a highly valued but declining fishery, potentially useful freshwater rearing habitat restoration strategies may include ...

The Delta as Changing Landscapes

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2016
doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2016v14iss2art9What happens at one place in a landscape influences and is influenced by what happens in other places. Consequently, management and restoration that focus on individual places may fail to recognize and

Salinity, turbidity, and chlorophyll drive zooplankton succession in a temperate estuary under anthropogenic pressure

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Estuarine zooplankton are vital primary consumers and essential for estuarine ecosystem functioning and productivity, but they face strong physico‐biochemical gradients and often anthropogenically altered habitats that impact their succession.

Will Tidal Wetland Restoration Enhance Populations of Native Fishes?

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2003
Restoration of tidal wetlands might enhance populations of native fishes in the San Francisco Estuary of California. The purpose of this paper is to: (1) review the currently available information regarding the importance of tidal wetlands to native ...

Contrasting migratory chronology and routes of Lesser Scaup: implications of different migration strategies in a broadly distributed species

Journal of Field Ornithology
Migration allows birds to improve fitness by exploiting seasonal resource peaks and avoiding limitations. Migration strategies may differ among individuals within a species, but for all strategies, the benefit of increased fitness should outweigh the ...

Why Are Most Fish Populations Genetically Homogeneous Along the Southwestern Atlantic Coast? The Role of Life History Traits in Shaping Genetic Patterns

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Investigate patterns of population genetic structure in Southwestern Atlantic marine fishes and evaluate how geographic range, habitat diversity, and evolutionary history shape population connectivity. Location Southwestern Atlantic, including the Caribbean, Brazilian coast, and Patagonian region, between 0°59′ N and 40°16′ S.
