TL;DR: The dramatic differences in growth rate between the two S. malma populations, despite similar trophic patterns, indicate that other important genetic or environmental factors affect their life history, including proximate temperature controls and ultimate predation pressures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the response of freshwater fishes and their nutrient excretion to human land development across the contiguous United States and found that the more tolerant species were also the species contributing greater ecosystem function.

TL;DR: This study used invertebrate drift sampling and fish density surveys, temperature-sensitive radio-tagging studies, and isotopic analyses to determine diet sources for juvenile Pacific salmonids using thermal refuges in California's Klamath River.

TL;DR: A mass-balance approach to quantify recent changes in phosphorus fluxes in six coastal California, USA, watersheds that have recently experienced dramatic decreases in salmon populations found semelparous species whose life histories led them to import more nutrients were also the species whose populations decreased the most dramatically in California in recent years.

TL;DR: A procedure to incorporate prey availability data into Bayesian mixing models conditional on the similarity of isotope values between two prey is developed and results indicate that the exchange of formalism for predictive power is merited, particularly when the relationship between prey availability and a predator's diet cannot be assumed.
