Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:21263-70. 2010..We close with a prospectus for reclaiming freshwater sustainability in the Cadillac Desert, including a suite of recommendations for reducing region-wide human appropriation of streamflow to a target level of 60%...- The role of discharge variation in scaling of drainage area and food chain length in riversJohn L Sabo
Faculty of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Sciences, School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Post Office Box 874501, Tempe, AZ 85287 4501, USA
Science 330:965-7. 2010..Ecosystem size lengthens river food chains by integrating and attenuating discharge variation through stream networks, thereby enhancing environmental stability in larger river systems... 
Hot rocks or no hot rocks: overnight retreat availability and selection by a diurnal lizardJohn L Sabo
Department of Integrative Biology, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720 3140, USA
Oecologia 136:329-35. 2003..Rocks 15 cm thick were the warmest retreats commonly available on this habitat type. Thus, thermal microenvironments available to and chosen by gravid female lizards differ considerably between river and non-river habitats...- Food chains in freshwatersJohn L Sabo
School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287 4501, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1162:187-220. 2009..Finally, there is a discussion of the potential relationships between global climate change, hydrology, and FCL in freshwaters... - Predicting [corrected] extinction risk in spite of predator-prey oscillationsJohn L Sabo
Faculty of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Science, School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, P O Box 874501, Tempe, Arizona 85287 4501, USA
Ecol Appl 17:1543-54. 2007..High performance of simple time series models like the CDA owes to their ability to effectively partition stochastic and deterministic sources of variation in population abundance... - Tracing water sources of terrestrial animal populations with stable isotopes: laboratory tests with crickets and spidersKevin E McCluney
School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America
PLoS ONE 5:e15696. 2010..The ability to use isotopes to document patterns of animal water use should be a great asset to biologists globally, especially those studying drylands, droughts, streamside areas, irrigated landscapes, and the effects of climate change... - Multitaxonomic diversity patterns along a desert riparian-upland gradientCandan U Soykan
School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America
PLoS ONE 7:e28235. 2012..Nevertheless, across taxonomic groups the overall pattern is one of greater species richness and abundance in riparian zones, coupled with a distinct suite of species... - A landscape perspective on bat foraging ecology along rivers: does channel confinement and insect availability influence the response of bats to aquatic resources in riverine landscapes?Elizabeth M Hagen
School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA
Oecologia 166:751-60. 2011..These data suggest that along the lateral dimension bats track food resources, but that along the longitudinal dimension channel shape and landscape structure determine bat distributions more than food resources... - The cost of male aggression and polygyny in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus)Leah R Gerber
School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, United States of America
PLoS ONE 5:e12230. 2010..Thus in polygynous mating systems, male aggression may increase male fitness at the cost of female fitness and overall population viability... - Water availability directly determines per capita consumption at two trophic levelsKevin E McCluney
P O Box 874601, School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287 4601, USA
Ecology 90:1463-9. 2009..Under dry conditions, animals may make foraging decisions based first on water needs, not energy or nutrients, suggesting strong and predictable effects of alterations in aridity on species interactions... - Reduced wind speed improves plant growth in a desert cityChristofer Bang
School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA
PLoS ONE 5:e11061. 2010..Wind effects on primary productivity have heretofore not been studied in the context of urbanization... - A statistical approach to quasi-extinction forecastingElizabeth Eli Holmes
Northwest Fisheries Science Center, 2725 Montlake Boulevard East, Seattle, WA 98112, USA
Ecol Lett 10:1182-98. 2007..However, for forecasting quasi-extinction risk, statistical models that are based on the convergent statistical properties of population processes offer many advantages over biologically realistic models... - Cost-effective suppression and eradication of invasive predatorsPeter W J Baxter
School of Botany, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010, Australia
Conserv Biol 22:89-98. 2008..This suggests that controlling predators only when they are most abundant is the "best" strategy when financial resources are limited and eradication is unlikely...
