Predictors of Chinook salmon extirpation in Californias Central Valley
Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum), populations have declined rapidly along the western coast of North America since the year 2000, possibly because of factors such as habitat loss, altered hydrology and barriers to migration. However, few analyses have rigorously examined which of these factors actually explain historical patterns of extirpation. Data were compiled on flow regi...
متن کاملFrom forest to field: perennial fruit crop domestication.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed-propagated annual crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution. Comparatively little is known about perennial plant domestication, a relevant topic for understanding how genes and genomes evolve in long-lived species, and how perennials respond to selection pressures operating on a relatively ...
متن کاملAn Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) for Perennial Streams in California’s Central Valley
Executive Summary Bioassessment is the science of using aquatic organisms as indicators of ecological condition in streams in rivers. Many types of organisms can be used as indicators, for example fish or algae, but bioassessment is most frequently based on benthic macroinvertebrates (BMIs), which are small but visible bottom-dwelling organisms such as insects. BMI data sets typically consist o...
متن کاملSatellite imagery can support water planning in the Central Valley
Critics of this approach argue its intrinsic shortcomings. First, the annual compilation of data by human observation is expensive, incomplete and sometimes erroneous. Second, too much time is required to observe and compile land-use information and develop a water balance. Lastly, agricultural land-management objectives change from year to year as reflected by visible changes in crop cover; an...
