Of late there have been several syntheses that consider the biological effectiveness of
fishways. These syntheses emphasize the importance of generating estimates of attraction …

Acipenserids (sturgeons) live in large rivers and lakes in North America and Eurasia, where
many species and populations are considered imperiled. One of the most pervasive threats …

To update the consensus on the effectiveness of fish passage mitigation structures or
“fishways,” I conducted a meta‐analysis on the fish passage literature and synthesized …

Population structure, distribution, abundance and dispersal arguably underpin the entire
field of animal ecology, with consequences for regional species persistence, and provision …

Ultraviolet absorbents (UVAs) and industrial antioxidants (IAs) are contaminants of emerging
concern. In this study, we investigated the distribution and partitioning of these contaminants …

The majority of large North American rivers are fragmented by dams that interrupt migrations
of wide-ranging fishes like sturgeons. Reconnecting habitat is viewed as an important …

Fish migrations through riverine systems can be energetically demanding, and the presence
of fishways to facilitate upstream passage can add an additional energetic cost that may …

Abstract The Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) is a long-lived,
anadromous fish species ranging from Labrador, CA to Florida, USA. In the Saco River …

Understanding how ectotherms may fare with rising global temperatures and more frequent
heatwaves is especially concerning for species already considered at‐risk, such as long …

The loss of spawning habitat has been identified as a limiting factor to population growth for
lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens, the most widely distributed species of the family in …
