Hydrological dynamics of the Yangtze river-Dongting lake system after the construction of the three Gorges dam by Xiaohe Lai, Huangjie Zou, Jun Jiang, Jianping Jia, Yan Liu, Wen Wei

“…When the high-speed flow from the mainstream of the Yangtze River and the gentle flow of Dongting Lake pass through the “deep trough” of Chenglingji, the two streams of high and low flow velocity intersect and decelerate to dissipate energy, and the flow structure becomes more complicated. …”

A comparison of participatory science seining and electrofishing for sampling fish assemblages in an urban river by Olivia F. Williams, Sally Petrella, Lauren Eaton, Robert Muller, Philip Kukulski, Paul Seelbach, Catherine Riseng, Karen M. Alofs

“…The Rouge River (Michigan, USA), an Environmental Protection Agency Area of Concern, is considered a highly degraded river but has benefited from numerous restoration projects. These projects have improved abiotic conditions in the river, but improvements to the fish assemblages have not been assessed. …”

Time synchronisation for millisecond-precision on bio-loggers by Timm A. Wild, Georg Wilbs, Dina K. N. Dechmann, Jenna E. Kohles, Nils Linek, Sierra Mattingly, Nina Richter, Spyros Sfenthourakis, Haris Nicolaou, Elena Erotokritou, Martin Wikelski

“…Based on the results, we offer recommendations for projects that require high time synchrony. During stationary tests, our low power synchronisation methods achieved median time accuracies of 2.72 / 0.43 ms (GPS / WiFi), compared to UTC time, and relative median time accuracies of 5 ms between tags (wireless proximity messages). …”

Assessing the cumulative effects of nearshore habitat restoration actions for multiple populations of juvenile salmon in Whidbey Basin, Washington: foundation and approach for synt... by Kathryn L. Sobocinski, Michael LeMoine, Joshua W. Chamberlin, Letitia Conway-Cranos, Annelise Del Rio, Heida L. Diefenderfer, Heida L. Diefenderfer, Correigh M. Greene, Jason Hall, Gary E. Johnson, Ronald M. Thom, Elene Trujillo, Todd Zackey

“…Salmon species are integral to the identities and cultures of people in the Pacific Northwest, yet salmon abundances remain at historic lows, especially in urbanized areas. Recent investments in restoration are creating rearing habitat and repairing lost ecosystem function. …”
