Foodscapes for salmon and other mobile consumers in river networks Open
Mobile consumers track fluctuating resources across heterogeneous landscapes to grow and survive. In river networks, the abundance and accessibility of food and the energetic consequences of foraging vary among habitats and through time, p…

Foodscapes for Salmon and Other Mobile Consumers in River Networks Open
Mobile consumers track fluctuating resources across heterogeneous landscapes to grow and survive. In river networks, the abundance and accessibility of food and the costs of foraging vary between habitats and through time, providing a shif…

Biogeochemical processes create distinct isotopic fingerprints to track floodplain rearing of juvenile salmon Open
Floodplains represent critical nursery habitats for a variety of fish species due to their highly productive food webs, yet few tools exist to quantify the extent to which these habitats contribute to ecosystem-level production. Here we co…

Reconciling fish and farms: Methods for managing California rice fields as salmon habitat Open
Rearing habitat for juvenile Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) in California, the southernmost portion of their range, has drastically declined throughout the past century. Recently, through cooperative agreements with diverse st…

Understanding community assembly rules in managed floodplain food webs Open
Community assembly has been an important topic in ecological research and theory for over a century. Recently, restoration ecologists have emphasized the use of community assembly rules, such as environmental filtering, to better inform ma…

Advancing diet reconstruction in fish eye lenses Open
Tracking habitat use and dietary shifts in migratory species is vital to conservation and management. Yet, conventional animal tracking often precludes tracking small juveniles at critical life stages where recruitment bottlenecks often ma…

Rapture facilitates inexpensive and high-throughput parent-based tagging in salmonids Open
Accurate methods for tracking individuals are crucial to the success of fisheries and aquaculture management. Management of migratory salmonid populations, which are important for the health of many economies, ecosystems, and indigenous cu…

Farm to Fish: Lessons from a Multi-Year Study on Agricultural Floodplain Habitat Open
Large areas of California’s historic floodplain have been separated from adjacent river channels by levee construction, allowing the development of an extensive agricultural industry. Based on successful partnerships between agriculture an…

Detrital food web contributes to aquatic ecosystem productivity and rapid salmon growth in a managed floodplain Open
Similar to many large river valleys globally, the Sacramento River Valley has been extensively drained and leveed, hydrologically divorcing river channels from most floodplains. Today, the former floodplain is extensively managed for agric…

Floodplain farm fields provide novel rearing habitat for Chinook salmon Open
When inundated by floodwaters, river floodplains provide critical habitat for many species of fish and wildlife, but many river valleys have been extensively leveed and floodplain wetlands drained for flood control and agriculture. In the …

Patterns of Freshwater Species Richness, Endemism, and Vulnerability in California Open
The ranges and abundances of species that depend on freshwater habitats are declining worldwide. Efforts to counteract those trends are often hampered by a lack of information about species distribution and conservation status and are ofte…
