Animal migrations act to couple ecosystems and are undertaken by some of the world's most
endangered taxa. Predators often exploit migrant prey, but the movements taken by these …

Metabolic rate is intricately linked to the ecology of organisms and can provide a framework
to study the behaviour, life history, population dynamics, and trophic impact of a species …

Predation risk for animal migrants can be impacted by physical condition. Although size-or
condition-based selection is often observed, observing infection-based predation is rare due …

All animals must acquire food to grow, but there is a vast diversity in how different species
and even different individuals approach and achieve this task. Individuals within a species …

Aquatic animals are integral to ocean and freshwater ecosystems and their resilience, are
depended upon globally for food sustainability, and support coastal communities and …

Salmonid biologists use both mental models—simple assumptions—and bioenergetics‐
based mathematical models to understand and predict effects of temperature regime on …

Long‐distance migration of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is known to result in high levels of
mortality. For a species experiencing global population decline, it is thus vital to better …

Field metabolic rate (FMR) is a holistic measure of metabolism representing the routine
energy utilization of a species living within a specific ecological context, thus providing …

Connected river systems confer advantages upon migratory salmonids by facilitating greater
life history expression and, ultimately, population persistence. In Washington's Elwha River …

River herring (Alosa spp.) are anadromous fish that enter North American Atlantic coastal
rivers and lakes each spring to spawn. Anthropogenic structures such as dams and tide …
