Pink salmon, native to the North Pacific, are rapidly invading Nordic waters. Since 2017, numbers have surged 50x, especially in Norway. Their impact on ecosystems remains unclear due to limited research and management plans #fish #invasive

New paper by @chaevangelista.bsky.social ‬ and colleagues shows how California mountain river communities can be altered by climate change, through longer low flow periods, and the interaction of a predator, here the infamous brown trout.

Interested in climate change, invasive predators, and cross-ecosystem linkages? Check out our newest paper in @aslo.org's L&O, from a fun experiment we ran three summers ago in California's Sierra Nevada, beautifully led by postdoc @chaevangelista.bsky.social!

Stream Channels - One of the most unique features of SNARL is the experimental stream channel system. The original channels were established by US Fish and Wildlife researchers in the 1940’s and divided Convict creek into four sections up to 400 meters in length, with individual water-control structures and moveable fish barriers. An array of new experimental stream channels was built in the 1990’s, and consisted of nine identical stream sections, with identical patterns of riffles, pools, and meanders. Each channel is one meter wide and 50 meters long, with natural sediments and cobbles laid over a rigid concrete base. The new channels provide researchers with statistically meaningful replicates for controlled comparative studies. In addition to the experimental channels and divided stream sections, researchers have access to stretches of Convict Creek above and below the reserve, and to small channels flowing through the aquatic laboratory.
