We used microsatellite DNA data and genetic stock identification methods to delineate the temporal and spatial distributions of juvenile Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha occupying coastal habitats extending from central Oregon to northern Washington. Juveniles were collected in trawl surveys conducted during spring, summer, and autumn over 15 years. Distributions (mean...

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...

The underlying causes of mortality during critical life stages of fish are not well
understood, nor is it clear if these causes are similar for naturally versus artificially propagated (i.e.
hatchery) individuals. To assess the importance of selective mortality related to production type
(hatchery vs. naturally produced) and size at...
The community of trophically transmitted marine parasites of juvenile coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Chinook
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) salmon across 8 years (2002–2009) was related to indices of physical and biological ocean conditions
and adult returns. When the biomass of lipid-poor, southern origin copepods in the coastal ocean was high during juvenile...

We evaluated the relative importance of "bottom-up" (production-limited) and "top-down" (predator-mediated) processes during early marine residence in a population of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from the upper Columbia River, USA. We examined length, mass, and condition index of age-0 juveniles collected in the ocean during June and September across 11...
The dynamic Quaternary geology of the Pacific Ring of Fire created substantial challenges for biogeography. Fish life history and population genetic variation were shaped by climate change, repeated formation and subsidence of ice sheets, sea-level change, volcanism and tectonics, isostatic rebound, and now human activities. It is widely recognized in...
