Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are increasing in frequency, intensity and
duration in estuaries worldwide. In the upper San Francisco Estuary, also known as the …

Zooplankton growth rates ultimately shape the functional response of marine ecosystems to
regional and global climate changes, because they determine the quantity and distribution …

Estuaries worldwide are undergoing changes to patterns of aquatic productivity because of
human activities that alter flow, impact sediment delivery and thus the light field, and …

We present the longest available dataset (by 15 years) of estuarine zooplankton abundance
worldwide. Zooplankton have been monitored throughout the upper San Francisco Estuary …

Drivers of phytoplankton and zooplankton dynamics vary spatially and temporally in
estuaries due to variation in hydrodynamic exchange and residence time, complicating …

Hydrodynamic processes can lead to the accumulation and/or dispersal of water column
constituents, including sediment, phytoplankton, and particulate detritus. Using a …

Spatial subsidies and habitat connectivity are critical factors in estuarine trophic webs.
Advection and tidal dispersion of organic matter including plankton from productive regions …

Harmful cyanobacteria blooms are a growing threat in estuarine waters as upstream blooms
are exported into coastal environments. Cyanobacteria can produce potent toxins, one of …

We measured growth rates of the copepod Pseudodiaptomus forbesi in relation to food,
environmental conditions and hydrology in the northern San Francisco Estuary, California …

Condition indices are key predictors of health and fitness in wild fish populations. Variation
in body condition, therefore, can be used to identify stressful conditions that may impact …
