Fish, streamflow, and California water

Food web efficiency determines the energy transferred from 🌱 to 🐟. Environmental conditions, including disturbance regime, more strongly limit efficiency in desert streams than controls identified in mesocosms

There are so many salmon spawning in Putah Creek this year. It is just so heartening. Vids from Anne Boyd.

From our #FreshwaterEcology track:

In #DesertStreams, variability in flow acts as a filter on #fish community composition - and determines how those communities respond to #floods

And thanks to a great group of coauthors!

Now out in @ESAEcosphere:

Desert streams with more variable flow regimes have lower fish diversity AND have lower change in composition following extreme events (driven by richness difference) than streams with more stable regimes (high turnover)

If you made it all the way to Friday at #JASM22 come check out the - Towards environment flow implementation - session for a great lineup of speakers! I'll be presenting on functional flows for restoration of native fish communities in CA

[Ethan Baruch @EthanBaruch]

Abstract for #JASM22 is submitted and I am unreasonably excited at the prospect of attending an in-person conference for the first time in well over 2 years!

Sometimes, studying the variation is the interesting thing https://t.co/s3IeXJ2Rx1

📢Job Alert: The urban nature lab @sfei_asc is looking for 3-4 new staff at MS & PhD levels - join our team! We work closely with cities, agencies, and private land managers to imagine science-based greening in the cities of the future 🌳🏙️🐦 https://t.co/6O3heQM0zk #job

[Dr. Julie Zimmerman @JulesKZimm]

I don't usually write commentary, but had to get some thoughts out. Why do we treat our rivers as conveyance structures for water delivery, rather than living ecosystems that support salmon, communities, and make CA an amazing place to live? https://t.co/ZDfEhtL07k

Using a quantitative framework, we also show how the concept of an integrated ecosystem can be applied to diverse ecosystems to compare cross-boundary resource reliance between locations and test controls on the cycling of externally produced resources through food webs

[Ethan Baruch @EthanBaruch]

Why are resources that cross a spatial boundary much more than subsidies? Check out our new @ESAEcology paper @BatemanHL, @dalytle, David Merritt, and @saboByH2O

From @ESAEcology's Concepts & #Synthesis section:

Integrated ecosystems: linking food webs through reciprocal resource reliance

[Ethan Baruch @EthanBaruch]

We found that resources that crossed the stream-riparian boundary directly or indirectly supported all levels of both food webs at similar levels, creating an integrated ecosystem on a #wildandscenic river

[Ethan Baruch @EthanBaruch]

@PSaffarinia @UCDavisWater @watershedted Thanks Parsa, likewise!

[Ethan Baruch @EthanBaruch]

Excited to announce I am starting a postdoc this week at @UCDavisWater with Sarah Yarnell, Robert Lusardi, and @watershedted working on relating #functionalflow metrics to traits of CA native fish communities. Looking forward to collaborating with a great team!

[Ethan Baruch @EthanBaruch]

Thanks to @jlsaboASU and my awesome committee @ArianneCease, @BatemanHL, and @DrNitrogen for helping me navigate all the speedbumps of the last year to help make this happen!

[Ethan Baruch @EthanBaruch]

Last week I successfully defended my #PhD dissertation on the influence of streamflow and resource dynamics in stream-riparian ecosystems. It still doesn't feel real this chapter is coming to a close... but looking forward to what comes next!

@MammalKate Somehow still missing that one, but have checked off "abandoned lizard search to avoid upset bull"
