Protected evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) of salmonids require objective and
measurable criteria for guiding their recovery. In this report, we develop a method for assessing …

We describe a Eulerian–Lagrangian–agent method (ELAM) for mechanistically decoding and
forecasting 3-D movement patterns of individual fish responding to abiotic stimuli. A ELAM …

The seasonal renewal of deep water in Saanich Inlet was investigated. Origin and
temperature-salinity characteristics of the deep water and of the water that renews the deep water …

We review literature concerning the impacts of climate change on the migration of marine
species, with an emphasis on the adaptation of migration phenology through genetic tracking …

Ecological theory traditionally describes predator–prey interactions in terms of a law of mass
action in which the prey mortality rate depends on the density of predators and prey. This …

Individuals with short telomeres should be at increased risk for cancer, since short telomeres
lead to genomic instability – a hallmark of cancer. However, individuals with long telomeres …

Navigating obstacles is innate to fish in rivers, but fragmentation of the world’s rivers by
more than 50,000 large dams threatens many of the fish migrations these waterways support. …

Effective conservation and recovery planning for Central Valley steelhead requires an
understanding of historical population structure. We describe the historical structure of the Central …

Determining which factors are most effective for mitigative strategies in conservation
management can be difficult for species with complex life cycles. Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) …

A survivorship curve is shaped by the differential survivability of the organisms within the
population, and a change in a survivorship curve with a stressor reflects the differential …
