Scale‐dependent population drivers inform avian management in a declining saline lake ecosystem Scale‐dependent population drivers inform avian management in a declining saline lake ecosystem

Shrinking saline lakes provide irreplaceable habitat for waterbird species globally. Disentangling the effects of wetland habitat loss from other drivers of waterbird population dynamics is critical for protecting these species in the face of unprecedented changes to saline lake ecosystems, ideally through decision-making frameworks that identify effective management options and their...

An invasive predator substantially alters energy flux without changing food web functional state or stability An invasive predator substantially alters energy flux without changing food web functional state or stability

Understanding how invasive species affect the stability and function of ecosystems is critical for conserving ecosystems. Here, we quantified the effect of an actively suppressed invasive species on the Yellowstone Lake, U.S.A. ecosystem using a food-web energetics approach. 2. We compared energy flux, functional state, and stability of four food web states: a pre-invasion network, and...

Seasonal movements between mainstem and tributaries may facilitate the persistence of Roundtail Chub and Flannelmouth Sucker within an altered stream system Seasonal movements between mainstem and tributaries may facilitate the persistence of Roundtail Chub and Flannelmouth Sucker within an altered stream system

Objective Movement enables animals to complete their life history by responding to changing environmental conditions. Linking movement behaviors to life history characteristics can allow more targeted management applications for declining native fish populations. We identified seasonal movement patterns of Roundtail Chub Gila robusta and Flannelmouth Sucker Catostomus latipinnis, two...

Revised timing of rapid exhumation in the West Qinling: Implications for geodynamics of Oligocene-Miocene Tibetan plateau outward expansion Revised timing of rapid exhumation in the West Qinling: Implications for geodynamics of Oligocene-Miocene Tibetan plateau outward expansion

Two contrasting age models for initial mountain building in the northeastern (NE) Tibetan Plateau (Paleocene-early Eocene versus late Oligocene-early Miocene) have led to the debate on how the deformed continental lithosphere absorbs plate convergence in general. The initial compressional deformation in the West Qinling (WQL) of the NE Tibetan Plateau figures prominently in this ongoing...
