The blind men and the elephant examine biodiversity at low‐head dams: Are we all dealing with the same dam reality?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1973
Abstract: Dams are ubiquitous environmental impacts that threaten aquatic ecosystems. The ability to compare across research studies is essential to conserve the native biodiversity that is impacted by the millions of low-head dams that currently fragment… read more here.

Truncated dopamine transporter's epigenetics: Heterozigosity of the grandmother rat temperates the vulnerable phenotype in second‐generation offspring
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.1002/jdn.10172
Abstract: Behavioral phenotype differs among epigenotypes of dopamine‐transporter heterozygous (DAT‐HET) rats. Epigenetic regulations act through transgenerational effects, referring to phenotypic variations emerging at second or third generation. To investigate transgenerational influences exerted by maternal grandmothers, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3051
Abstract: Effective dam management requires an understanding of the ecological impact of a facility and its operations on individual fish and fish populations. Traversing high flows downstream of dams is an energetically challenging activity that could… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3180
Abstract: Dams are a conservation threat because they function as barriers to native fish movement; however, they may prevent the spread of invasive species. Invasive bigheaded carps (Hypophthalmichthys spp.) threaten the Great Lakes ecosystem and are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3283
Abstract: Dam removals in the United States continue to accelerate in pace and scope, but no national analyses have examined how removed dams compare with existing dam stock. Here, we review and analyse the best available… read more here.

Dam effects on bedload transport on the upper Santa Ana River, California, and implications for native fish habitat
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "River Research and Applications"
DOI: 10.1002/rra.3443
Abstract: Dams disrupt the flow of water and sediment and thus have the potential to affect the downstream geomorphic characteristics of a river. Though there are some well‐known and common geomorphic responses to dams, such as… read more here.

Energy stores and mercury concentrations in a common minnow (spottail shiner, Notropis hudsonius) associated with a peaking hydroelectric dam
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "River Research and Applications"
DOI: 10.1002/rra.3625
Abstract: Peaking hydroelectric facilities release water from dams to match energy production with demand, often on a daily cycle. These fluctuating flows downstream can exert several potential stressors on organisms that may inhibit their growth, indirectly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10064-018-1255-0
Abstract: The deposition morphology of a landslide dam determines the position of initial breach and sequentially affects the direction of lateral erosion. Twenty-seven discrete element numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the deposition morphology of… read more here.
