Abstract:The San Francisco Estuary (estuary) and the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta (the Delta) in California face significant challenges in managing water resources during extended droughts. Zooplankton are a vital trophic link between phytoplankton producers and higher-level consumers such as predatory zooplankton and fish. However, there is still much to be learned about what drives zooplankton abundance and how they respond to drastic changes in environmental conditions, such as droughts. We found that during drought… Show more
