Declining reservoir elevations following a two-decade drought increase water temperatures and non-native fish passage facilitating a downstream invasion

The paper models how declining reservoir levels and warming temperatures in the Colorado River facilitated non-native smallmouth bass invasion and reproduction.

Fast and flexible Bayesian Jolly Seber models and application to populations with transients

This paper introduces a marginalized Bayesian Jolly Seber model that significantly improves computational efficiency for open population analysis, demonstrating speed gains of up to 1,000 times with minimal loss of accuracy.

Models of underlying autotrophic biomass dynamics fit to daily river ecosystem productivity estimates improve understanding of ecosystem disturbance and resilience

The paper uses mechanistic models to infer autotrophic biomass dynamics from river productivity data, revealing disturbance thresholds and resilience patterns.

Quantifying the demographic vulnerabilities of dry woodlands to climate and competition using range-wide monitoring data

The paper uses range-wide monitoring data to quantify how climate and competition affect recruitment, survival, and growth of two dry woodland tree species, identifying vulnerable regions under climate change.
