Data for Development of a Risk Model of Domestic Dog Attacks on Threatened Agassiz’s Desert Tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) in the Mojave and Colorado Deserts of California Data for Development of a Risk Model of Domestic Dog Attacks on Threatened Agassiz’s Desert Tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) in the Mojave and Colorado Deserts of California
The single database, assembled retrospectively between 2004 and 2007, which includes the following information: site name, desert region, distance (km) to the nearest settlement from the tortoise, unique identification number for the tortoise, sex, wear or aging class of the carapace, size of the tortoise, evidence of trauma to the gular horn and to shell and limbs, year collected, and...

Evaluating detection of temporal trends in long-term freshwater fisheries data to inform future monitoring efforts Evaluating detection of temporal trends in long-term freshwater fisheries data to inform future monitoring efforts
Objective Florida’s Freshwater Fisheries Long-Term Monitoring Program was implemented in 2006 to track changes in freshwater fish populations and communities. As part of an evaluation of the program, this study used a simulation framework to assess trend detection for fish abundance and biomass indices and how sampling intensity (number of samples per year) and frequency (number of years...

Protected from Pterygoplichthys? Predicting thermal habitat suitability for nonnative armored catfish in the Suwannee River Protected from Pterygoplichthys? Predicting thermal habitat suitability for nonnative armored catfish in the Suwannee River
Objective Nonnative fishes can modify ecosystems and harm economies when they are introduced to new environments. Climate change is likely to assist the spread and establishment of some nonnative fishes (e.g., warmwater species), but spatiotemporal gaps in water temperature monitoring and modeling may prevent ecologists and managers from forecasting thermal habitat suitability for these...

Mahi-mahi metacouplings: Quantifying human–nature interactions in dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) fisheries Mahi-mahi metacouplings: Quantifying human–nature interactions in dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) fisheries
Fisheries encompass humans and fish, but fisheries researchers rarely model human–nature interactions over space and time. I filled this information gap for dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus), a popular, widely distributed species that supports industrial, artisanal, recreational, and subsistence fisheries. Dolphinfish human–nature interactions showed a long-term up-and-down pattern in...

Assessing and implementing the concept of Blue Economy in Laurentian Great Lakes fisheries: Lessons from coupled human and natural systems Assessing and implementing the concept of Blue Economy in Laurentian Great Lakes fisheries: Lessons from coupled human and natural systems
Inland fisheries often receive little to no attention in global discussions about sustainable development. The consequences of overlooking inland fisheries in sustainability dialogues are increasingly problematic as fisheries stressors (e.g., overharvest, species invasion, climate change, habitat modification) intensify. Elevating the global profile of inland fisheries requires an...

A new water temperature modeling approach to predict thermal habitat suitability for nonnative cichlids in Florida rivers A new water temperature modeling approach to predict thermal habitat suitability for nonnative cichlids in Florida rivers
As global temperatures increase, the spatiotemporal arrangement of thermal habitats in Florida rivers may shift, creating the potential for greater dispersal and establishment of nonnative tropical freshwater fishes. To understand how water temperature changes may affect the spatial distribution of these nonnative species, more effective water temperature prediction models are necessary...

Taylor-made: The meaning of mentorship in fisheries Taylor-made: The meaning of mentorship in fisheries
Thirteen years ago, as a senior in college, I barely knew what research was. Although I spent my senior year conducting fieldwork and writing 50 pages about Brown Trout Salmo trutta population dynamics in southeast Minnesota streams, the essence of research eluded me. It was not until graduate school that things clicked. A decade ago, I was several months away from completing my M.S...
