Does tidal marsh #restoration "work", if the goal is bringing back key species AND the trophic interactions that support them? A thousand stable isotope samples later, we have answers! 💯 work by PhD student Megan Pagliaro:
esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #SanFrancisco #BayDelta

Does tidal marsh restoration lead to the recovery of trophic pathways that support estuarine fishes?

Evaluation of tidal marsh restoration success is typically based on the recovery of habitat size and target species. However, food-web structure may provide valuable insight into ecosystem functionin...

New paper from our lab: The use of #microplastics as case-building material by larval caddisflies facilitates the transfer of plastic (& potentially its associated contaminants) to predatory fish.

Larval caddisflies (Limnephilidae) that had been exposed to microplastics (PET) and natural materials will readily incorporate plastic into their cases.

Do heat waves happen in rivers? How do river heat waves (RHW) compare to air heat waves (AHW)?

www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Here we show: 1) RHWs occur less frequently & intensively but last twice as long as AHWs; 2) RHW have risen much faster than AHWs.

Congrats to Dr. Kayal Sadayappan!

How does trophic connectivity between different ecosystems work at a landscape scale? We applied a novel conceptual framework with functional traits and fatty acid biomarkers to assess direct and indirect effects of landscape drivers on cross-ecosystem connectivity in stream-riparian #foodwebs

Fatty acid biomarkers reveal landscape influences on linkages between aquatic and terrestrial food webs

Stream and riparian habitats are meta-ecosystems that can be strongly connected via the emergence of aquatic insects, which form an important prey subsidy for terrestrial consumers. Anthropogenic per...

Rapid evolution occurs, but speciation rates are nowhere near fast enough to replace the loss of entire endemic lineages.

Bioinvasions & other stressors are causing global biodiversity losses that could take millions of years to fill - or are irreversible. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
