Wildlife Response to Riparian Restoration on the Sacramento River

TL;DR: A suite of studies that assessed responses of four taxonomic groups (insects, birds, bats, and rodents) were published in this paper, focusing on the success of riparian restoration projects.
Temporal and Taxonomic Variability in Response of Fauna to Riparian Restoration
TL;DR: Examination of species richness and composition data collected over several years on different terrestrial fauna at Sacramento River restoration and remnant riparian sites revealed that certain taxonomic groups were more spatially variable in their response to restoration than others, suggesting that evaluations of restoration success based on a few better-knownTaxonomic groups may be inadequate to represent the biodiversity response of other groups.

TL;DR: In this paper, monitoring information from California's middle Sacramento River had not been synthesized, despite restoration having been ongoing since 1989, and a comprehensive evaluation of large-scale ecosystem restoration projects seldom undergo comprehensive evaluation to determine project effectiveness.
Decline and recovery of small mammals after flooding: implications for pest management and floodplain community dynamics
TL;DR: The authors studied small mammals at agricultural sites, young and older riparian restoration sites and remnant natural areas through live trapping and visual surveys over three successive years and found that young riparian recovery sites did not harbour agricultural pests (e.g., California ground squirrel, Botta's pocket gopher) in greater abundance than agricultural sites.
