Shorebirds typically spend more time fueling and refueling during migration than they spend in actual flight, and consequently their stopover ecology has important implications for fitness and conservation. We examined spatial variation and long‐term changes in stopover duration of radio‐tagged western sandpipers Calidris mauri over three decades on ...

China Camp State Park and Rush Ranch Open Space Preserve contain rare examples of historic tidal wetlands, undeveloped coastal hills and grasslands, and a variety of ecotones once common (but now rare) in the San Francisco Estuary.

ABSTRACT Conservation hatcheries aim to produce fish for supplementation of wild populations, but hatchery environments may drive phenotypic divergence from wild fish. These diverged traits may have reduced fitness in the wild, which could compromise wild population sustainability and evolutionary potential, such as in response to climate change. Delta

Effects of the Invasive Freshwater Mussel Limnoperna fortunei on Sediment Properties and Accumulation Rates [PDF]
Since its introduction into South America around 1990, the freshwater bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (the golden mussel) has spread rapidly and is now a dominant component of the benthic and periphytic fauna in many rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

Abstract The California Current System (CCS) is characterized by dynamic coastal upwelling that profoundly influences plankton community structure and diversity and that leads to the emergence of large diatoms nearshore. This study presents a high‐resolution biogeochemical model of the CCS, coupling the Darwin ecosystem model with the Regional Ocean ...

Remote estimation of the diffuse attenuation coefficient in a moderately turbid estuary [PDF]
Solutions of the radiative transfer equation are used to derive relationships of water reflectance to the diffuse attenuation coefficient (K) in moderately turbid water (K \u3e 0.5 m−1).

Abstract Bedload flux estimation from reach‐averaged hydraulic conditions, while tractable and generally reliable over long integration periods, struggles to capture the intrinsic variability of transport in turbulent flow and the strong influence of local sediment size and morphological heterogeneity.

Some considerations on coastal processes relevant to sea level rise [PDF]
The effects of potential sea level rise on the shoreline and shore environment have been briefly examined by considering the interactions between sea level rise and relevant coastal processes.

The light requirements for growth and photosynthesis in seagrasses with emphasis on Texas estuaries : a literature survey [PDF]
During the last 20 years, seagrass communities throughout the world have experienced decreased productivity and distribution. These declines have often been attributed to decreased water transparency as a result of turbidity or shading by epiphytic algae.
