Divers monitor the pupfish habitat. According toAtlas Obscura, murderous cult leader Charles Manson was fascinated with place: When Manson arrived in Death Valley he became obsessed with finding a mysterious hole that would lead his “family” to water and a safe place to live in the desert. ...
The limited habitat and very small population (there were approximately 100 individuals in spring, 2011) of Devils Hole pupfish combine to make this ecosystem extremely susceptible to climate change, and the modeling and management efforts currently undertaken in this system may be considered a pilot...
A notable example of endemic and specialized species that may have been influenced by slight changes in its habitat is the Devils Hole pupfish ( Cyprinodon diabolis ), which occurs only in a small pool ecosystem in the Mojave Desert of the Southwestern United States. In this study, we use ...
Videography methods incorporated fixed-position, solar-powered cameras to record continuous footage of a shallow rock shelf that Devils Hole Pupfish use for spawning. In-person surveys were conducted from a platform placed above the water's surface. The underwater camera recorded more overall ...
The Devils Hole pupfish ( Cyprinodon diabolis ) is a federally listed endangered species living solely within the confines of Devils Hole, a geothermal pool ecosystem in the Mojave Desert of the American Southwest. This unique species has suffered a significant, yet unexplained, population decline ...

Here we describe a mesocosm-scale habitat created to maintain hybrid Devils Hole 脳 Ash Meadows Amargosa Pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis 脳 C. nevadensis mionectes) under conditions similar to those found in Devils Hole, Nevada. This 13,000-L system utilized flow control and natural processes to...

Here, we examine the thermal regime of Devils Hole and its influence on the pupfish population. We present a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model of thermal convection on the shallow shelf of Devils Hole, which provides critical habitat for C. diabolis to spawn and forage for food. ...
