Barriers decouple population dynamics of riverine fish, and asynchrony of subpopulations promotes stability within fragments Abstract. The spatial synchrony framework suggests that asynchrony among subpopulations in different branches of a river network should stabilize the metap

Degradation of fish food webs in the Anthropocene The decrease in body size driven by the selective species turnover is widely altering fish food web topology and function.

New paper out examining fish food web degradation in the Anthropocene. We show the structure of aquatic food webs are changing-- even when species richness doesn’t. These signals are strongly associated with decreases in body size within fish communities. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌐🐠🐡🦈🐟

A Mysterious Salmon-Killing Affliction is a Mystery No More - bioGraphic In California, scientists tracked the source of a severe vitamin deficiency that’s killing endangered fish.

Man, on top of everything else that’s plaguing salmon, now we have to worry about… vitamin-B deficiency related to excess predation on anchovies?!
