Grouping is an evolutionary strategy that allows individuals to optimize foraging success in
habitats of varying quality and when under the risk of predation, but group foraging can lead …

Migration barriers are a major reason for species loss and population decline of freshwater
organisms. Significant efforts have been made to remove or provide passage around these …

Intermittent streams lose surface flow during some portion of the year and can be important
breeding and rearing habitats for stream biota. However, habitat contraction and …

We conducted a PHABSIM study on Bingham Creek, Washington, by using validated habitat
suitability criteria for the rearing of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch. We compared the …

Migratory fishes with periodic life history strategies are sensitive to river regulation.
Populations of these fishes may persist in highly regulated rivers by using tributaries that …

A major underpinning of recovery efforts for Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) listed under
the Endangered Species Act is that there is a strong relationship between freshwater habitat …

It is generally accepted that climate change will stress coldwater species such as Pacific
salmon. However, it is unclear what aspect of altered thermal regimes (eg, warmer winters …

Selection during the colonization of new habitat is critical to the process of local adaptation,
but has rarely been studied. We measured the form, direction, and strength of selection on …

Multiple restoration actions have been implemented in response to declining salmon
populations. Among these is the addition of salmon carcasses or artificial nutrients to mimic …

Understanding the factors influencing the success of juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus
spp. in newly colonized habitats is essential to their recovery in large areas across the West …
