California drought putting fish, birds and tree species at risk, scientists say

Sacramento Bee (April 25, 2014) — California’s drought is imperiling several species of native fish, birds and large trees, with some already endangered with extinction, said scientists at a daylong Capitol summit on the drought’s environmental and economic effects. Story quotes three UC Davis experts: Peter Moyle, a professor of fish biology at the Center for Watershed Sciences; Robert Meese of the Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy; and Andrew Fulks, manager of the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve.
