Effects of high temperatures on threatened estuarine fishes during periods of extreme drought.
Climate change and associated increases in water temperatures may impact physiological performance in ectotherms and exacerbate endangered species declines. We used an integrative approach to assess the impact of elevated water temperature on two fishes of immediate conservation concern in a large estuary system, the threatened longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) and endangered delta smelt ...
متن کاملHow Immigrants Affect California Employment and Wages
One of the most contentious issues about immigration is how it affects the wages and employment opportunities of U.S. natives. If immigrants hurt the labor market options of native workers, Cali-fornians should feel the most pain. California has a higher share of immigrants in its population and labor force than any other state. The large inflow of documented and undocumented immigrants during ...
متن کاملFactors Determining Mortality of Adult Chaparral Shrubs in an Extreme Drought Year in California
We measured dieback and mortality in a chaparral shrub community at a chaparral/desert ecotone following four years of below-average rainfall. Ecotones are important systems in which to examine plant and community responses to extreme and prolonged drought conditions and the potential impact of global change on plant distributions and community composition. Following a particularly severe droug...
متن کاملFlood or drought: how do aerosols affect precipitation?
Aerosols serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and thus have a substantial effect on cloud properties and the initiation of precipitation. Large concentrations of human-made aerosols have been reported to both decrease and increase rainfall as a result of their radiative and CCN activities. At one extreme, pristine tropical clouds with low CCN concentrations rain out too quickly to mature in...
