The floodplains of large rivers have been heavily modified due to riparian development and
channel modifications, both of which can eliminate shallow off-channel habitats. The …

The effects of anthropogenic disturbance upon the stability of wildlife communities depend
on the heterogeneity and connectivity of habitat remnants on multiple scales. The number of …

Abstract In 2011, a large, long‐duration flood occurred on the regulated Missouri River
following six decades without flooding. This study evaluated the effects of the flood on …

Migration is an energetically expensive activity with important links to population dynamics
of migratory birds. Identification of high-quality stopover habitat to support migratory …

(1) Background: Monitoring programs are essential to conservation but are often restricted
by limited financial resources. Optimal monitoring can lead to higher cost-effectiveness.(2) …

We evaluated temperature tolerance in age‐0 pallid and shovelnose sturgeon
(Scaphirhynchus albus and Scaphirhynchus platorynchus), two species that occur …

Construction of dams in the mid‐20th century reduced channel dynamism, sediment
transport, and regeneration of riparian trees on the Missouri River. Opportunities for forest …

With increases in the severity and frequency of weather extremes, there is growing concern
about the ecological effects of these events. However, compared to gradual climate …

Reservoirs are fundamental for human well-being but can cause landscape changes (eg,
habitat fragmentation and loss), altering biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, we …

Introduction: Levee forests exhibit a vertical stratification that may contribute to structural
complexity allowing a great diversity of birds to thrive on the islands. In deltaic ecosystems …
