A longitudinal study of avian pox in a small passerine, the Dunnock (Prunella modularis)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Long‐term, longitudinal studies of disease in wild bird populations are rare. Diseases are important determinants of bird survival and may spill‐over into other species including livestock and, in some cases, humans. Avian pox is a globally distributed disease, resulting from infection by viruses in the genus Avipoxvirus (APV).

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Silverside gold mine? Restored tidal habitats host abundant invasive fishes in a novel California marsh (U.S.A.)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Novel ecosystems, where environmental conditions have been fundamentally altered from a historic norm, require nontraditional approaches to restoration. Suisun Marsh, located within California's San Francisco Estuary (SFE), is a novel, brackish water wetland complex, where managers have begun restoring tidal connectivity to ...
