Most people primarily associate the family name Roosevelt with two U.S. presidents: Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt Jr. and his distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt. But decades before Teddy charged to fame with his Rough Riders on Cuba's San Juan Hill, or FDR led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II, the Roosevelt name was well known in political and conservation circles due to the accomplishments and passion of Teddy's paternal uncle, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt.

The impact of dams on aquatic ecosystems and fisheries is well established. For dams that have reached the end of their usable life, or that no longer provide societal benefits that exceed their costs, dam removal is often a desired management outcome for safety, cost efficiency, and habitat improvement. As dam removals will continue, the AFS Resource Policy Committee (RPC) identified policy engagement on dam removal as a priority concern brought forth by AFS members.

Forage fishes have a cosmopolitan distribution and constitute key species in marine trophic webs throughout the world. We estimated the energy density of the Argentine Anchovy, a key component of the base of the food web in a large fraction of the South Western Atlantic Ocean, and compared it to other forage fishes. The differences in energy density could have direct implications on population dynamics of predators in oscillating sardine-anchovy systems.
