Hydrologic signatures are quantitative metrics or indices that describe statistical or
dynamical properties of hydrologic data series, primarily streamflow. Hydrologic signatures …

We critically analyzed a set of ecological models that are used to assess the impact of
hydropower dams on water quality and habitat suitability for biological communities. After a …

Marijuana (Cannabis sativa L.) cultivation has proliferated in northwestern California since
at least the mid-1990s. The environmental impacts associated with marijuana cultivation …

Provides critiques of current practices for environmental flow assessment and shows how
they can be improved, using case studies. In Environmental Flow Assessment: Methods and …

Hydrological alteration has contributed to the global decline of stream frogs. Flows support
stream frog reproduction, juvenile development, food resources, and maintain habitats for all …

Species with extensive geographical ranges pose special challenges to assessing drivers of
wildlife disease, necessitating collaborative and large-scale analyses. The imperilled foothill …

Management of regulated rivers for yellow-legged frogs (Rana boylii) and salmonids
exemplifies potential conflicts among species adapted to different parts of the natural flow …

When dams or climate change alter the thermal regimes of rivers, conditions can shift
outside optimal ranges for aquatic poikilothermic vertebrates. Plasticity in thermal …

Contact zones between species provide a unique opportunity to test whether taxa can
hybridize or not. Cross‐breeding or hybridization between closely related taxa can promote …

River regulation or flow modification—the hydrological alteration of flow by dams and
diversions—has been implicated as a cause of fundamental change to downstream aquatic …
