Improving elasmobranch baselines in the California Channel Islands through ZooMS and stable isotope analyses
Sharks are among the world's most endangered vertebrates, having declined by over 70% in abundance over the past 50 years—a collapse driven primarily by modern fishing. However, the extent of this impact is difficult to assess without improved records of past species distributions. Zooarchaeological records offer valuable baselines for shark diversity, distribution, and exploitation and provide essential historical context for assessing contempor…
Far from shore
The nineteenth and twentieth centuries were a transformative time for ocean ecosystems, marked by overfishing, habitat degradation, and a series of other anthropogenic perturbations. In the northeast Pacific, the creation of canneries from Alaska to Mexico drove commercial fisheries for tuna, salmon, sardines, and other fishes by opening new markets around the world and fishing for or importing fishes from equally distant places. Here, we synthes…
Archaeological and stable isotope data reveal patterns of fishing across the food web on California’s Channel Islands
How do human communities integrate within food webs? Studies characterizing the historical flow of energy among people and local environments can yield important insights into managing sustainable ecosystems. Here, we combine zooarchaeological, bulk tissue, and compound-specific stable isotope data from late Holocene Santa Rosa Island to investigate the ecological role of people within a southern California nearshore marine ecosystem. We show peo…
