Knowing whether declines are within natural thresholds versus those caused by acute human disturbance is critical for managing protected species. We investigated temporal shifts in abundance and habitat use of an endangered population of the threespine stickleback <i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i> in southern California, where a Mediterranean climate leads to ephemeral habitat in one of the regions' least hydrologically modified rivers, the Santa Clara River. We conducted population surveys over a period of below-average rainfall in the upper watershed in Soledad Canyon, with predefined reaches surveyed multiple times per year to capture different hydrologic conditions. Abundances were stable across years but varied significantly depending on location, with some reaches remaining dry and others drying seasonally to varying degrees. Occupancy models showed that the presence of stable perennial reaches, drying regime, and other site-specific factors were important predictors of habitat use, and that certain reaches may be key to ensuring source-sink dynamics as flow dissipates over the dry season. Low occupancy in two sections was driven by different predominant mechanisms, one by diel cycles of evapotranspiration and the other by cattails (<i>Typha</i> spp.), with both having greater effects during the hotter, drier parts of the year. As dryland river ecosystems are vulnerable to the effects of anthropogenic-induced climate change, this study demonstrates how temporal monitoring can delimit dry-state benchmarks for improving management interventions (i.e., translocation and habitat restoration) for protected species under conditions that are predicted to worsen in the coming years.</p>","PeriodicalId":55493,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141980399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used five long-standing (&gt;80 years) FPAs in three lakes in eastern Ontario, Canada, which were initially established to protect native black bass (<i>Micropterus</i> spp.) from angling exploitation, to assess whether this protection affected wildlife communities found in the riparian areas of these FPAs. From May to July 2021, we used baited remote camera traps and visual surveys to assess species diversity within and outside of FPAs. We recorded 61 species spanning mammalian, avian and herpetofauna taxa, with the two assessment methods identifying unique sets of species (23% overlap). Camera traps showed that animals were more active in riparian areas during the day (62% of detections) than at night. FPAs had a variable but overall positive influence on riparian wildlife biodiversity, hosting more bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species than non-protected areas and having higher species richness. FPAs differed from other sites in the lakes by having higher habitat complexity, less human infrastructure and less human use, which potentially contributed to these differences. This study raises awareness that even small FPAs can have legacy, umbrella-type benefits that extend beyond fishes to the wildlife that use the adjacent riparian areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":55493,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aqc.4232","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141910517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advancements in computing and data storage have primarily focused on terrestrial CES, neglecting riverine areas. This study aims to develop a methodology to assess CES in riverine landscapes from social media and citizen science images related to environmental information. We collected georeferenced pictures from Flickr and iNaturalist for three main test rivers in northwest Portugal (Minho, Lima and Cávado) and classified them based on content such as ‘biodiversity’, ‘recreation/river beaches’, ‘historical heritage’ and ‘landscape’, as well as environmental spatial variables. A multimodel inference approach was applied to predict the spatial distribution of the pictures and environmental variables to support CES mapping. The methodology was applied during two time periods, before and during the most restrictive period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed that estuaries were identified as ‘hotspots’ for CES related to rivers provision. There was distinct prevalence of pictures depending on the targeted river: pictures exhibiting ‘recreation/river beaches’ prevailed in Cávado (62%), ‘biodiversity’ in Lima (70%) and ‘historical heritage’ in Minho (39%). Only the values and patterns from the category ‘biodiversity’ were maintained on the two analysed periods, with the other categories not having posts in social media during COVID-19 most restrictive period. The methodology for CES assessment in rivers can be replicated using different time periods and regions due to its simple stepwise framework.
