Research on regulatory mechanisms in biological populations often focuses on environmental covariates. An integrated
approach that combines environmental indices with organismal-level information can provide additional insight on
regulatory mechanisms. Survival of spring/summer Snake River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is consistently
low whereas some adjacent populations with similar life histories experience...

Early ocean residence is considered a critical period for juvenile salmon although specific survival mechanisms are often unidentified and may vary by species or life stage. Columbia River spring-run Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha abundance has declined dramatically since the early 1900s. To elucidate mechanisms of early marine survival, we tested...
