Dietary shifts in a stressed fish assemblage: Consequences of a bivalve invasion in the San Francisco Estuary (2003, neutral): “Kimmerer (2002) found little support for trophic linkages to early life stage abundance or survival of several fish species in the San Francisco Estuary.”
Shifts in Zooplankton Community Structure: Implications for Food Web Processes in the Upper San Francisco Estuary (2011, background): “amurensis and several zooplankters occurred between 1987 and 1994 (Orsi and Ohtsuka 1999; Kimmerer 2002) and correspond to an extended drought period.”
Changes in zooplankton diversity and distribution pattern under varying precipitation regimes in a southern temperate estuary (2009, background): “Hydrological parameters are directly influenced by climatic variations and advection is one of the key mechanism explaining zooplankton distribution and abundance (Kimmerer, 2002).”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “The Bay Delta ecosystem has also been significantly modified by invasive species, including clams, bay grasses, various species of copepods, and fish over the past several decades (Carlton et al., 1990; Cohen and Carlton, 1995, 1998; Kimmerer, 2002).”
Ecosystem variability along the estuarine salinity gradient: Examples from long‐term study of San Francisco Bay (2017, background): “As a result, summer abundances of key components of the zooplankton community—the rotifer Synchaeta bicornis, copepods Eurytemora affinis and Acartia spp., and mysid shrimp Neomysis mercedis—all decreased abruptly after the summer blooms disappeared in 1987 (Kimmerer 2002).”
Alien species in fresh waters: ecological effects, interactions with other stressors, and prospects for the future (2010, background): “…2008); Potamocorbula amurensis (Schrenck), also originally from east Asia but now in brackish waters in California (e.g., Alpine & Cloern, 1992; Kimmerer, 2002); and Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker), an Asian mytilid that is ecologically similar to the dreissenid mussels and which has developed…”
Multidecadal trends for three declining fish species: habitat patterns and mechanisms in the San Francisco Estuary, California, USA (2007, background): “…generalized variable that is relatively easy to measure and is correlated with longterm abundance trends of multiple species (Jassby et al. 1995; Kimmerer 2002), the recent step change in the abundance of pelagic fishes suggests that salinity alone may not be sufficient to explain long-term…”
Long-Term Trends in Summertime Habitat Suitability for Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus (2008, methodology): “The abundance or survival of numerous organisms is elevated in years when mean spring and early summer X2 locations are moved seaward (closer to the Golden Gate) by high river inflows (Jassby et al. 1995; Kimmerer 2002a).”
Freshwater-flow requirements of estuarine fisheries in tropical Australia: a review of the state of knowledge and application of a suggested approach (2005, background): “…on estuarine fishery species are one or more steps removed from the direct changes in physical parameters (e.g. water velocity, salinity, water temperature, turbidity) that result from fresh water flowing into estuaries (Drinkwa-ter 1986; Hart and Finelli 1999; Alber 2002; Kimmerer 2002 a ).”
