Habitat Variability and Complexity in the Upper San Francisco Estuary
Published in San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science
High variability in environmental conditions in both space and time once made the upper San Francisco Estuary (the Estuary) highly productive for native biota. Present conditions often discourage native species, providing a rationale for restoring estuarine variability and habitat complexity. Achieving a variable, more complex Estuary requires poli...

On developing prescriptions for freshwater flows to sustain desirable fishes in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Report to the State Water Resources Control Board regarding flow criteria for the Delta necessary to protect public trust resources, February, 2010. Several methods for developing flow prescriptions to support desirable fish species in the Delta are compared. To be useful, flow prescriptions must respond to the changing characteristics of the Delta...

Critical assessment of the delta smelt population in the San Francisco Estuary, California
Published in San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science
The delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is a small and relatively obscure fish that has recently risen to become a major focus of environmental concern in California. It was formally abundant in the low-salinity and freshwater habitats of the northeastern San Francisco Estuary, but is now listed as threatened under the Federal and California Sta...
Implications of morphological variation among populations of California roach Lavinia symmetricus (Cyprinidae) for conse...
Published in Biological Conservation
The California roach Lavinia symmetricus is a small cyprinid native to Central California. Populations of roach are presently isolated from one another due to degradation of stream habitats between them. We examined eight populations, each from a tributary system of the San Joaquin River, to determine if morphological differences existed among them...
