evidence of natural reproduction of atlantic sturgeon in the connecticut river from unlikely sources.	atlantic sturgeon is listed under the u.s. endangered species act as five distinct population segments (dps). the "endangered" new york bight (nyb) dps is thought to only harbor two populations; one in the hudson river and a second smaller one in the delaware river. historically, the connecticut river probably supported a spawning population of atlantic sturgeon that was believed extirpated many decades ago. in 2014, we successfully collected pre-migratory juvenile specimens from the lower conne ...	2017	28388618
shifting distributions of adult atlantic sturgeon amidst post-industrialization and future impacts in the delaware river: a maximum entropy approach.	atlantic sturgeon (acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) experienced severe declines due to habitat destruction and overfishing beginning in the late 19(th) century. subsequent to the boom and bust period of exploitation, there has been minimal fishing pressure and improving habitats. however, lack of recovery led to the 2012 listing of atlantic sturgeon under the endangered species act. although habitats may be improving, the availability of high quality spawning habitat, essential for the survival ...	2013	24260570
