Infectious disease, shifting climates, and opportunistic predators: cumulative factors potentially impacting wild salmon declines
Emerging diseases are impacting animals under high‐density culture, yet few studies
assess their importance to wild populations. Microparasites selected for enhanced virulence …

Exceptional aerobic scope and cardiovascular performance of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) may underlie resilience in a warming climate
Little is known of the physiological mechanisms underlying the effects of climate change on
animals, yet it is clear that some species appear more resilient than others. As pink salmon …
