Evolutionary biologists tend to approach the study of the natural world within a framework of
adaptation, inspired perhaps by the power of natural selection to produce fitness …

More than 26 billion juveniles of 180 marine species are released annually into the wild in
over 20 countries, but the usefulness of this strategy remains unclear. Here, I analyse the …

Conservation and restoration efforts for Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. can be hampered
by prespawn mortality, when adult fish reach reproductive sites but die before spawning. We …

The life cycle of diadromous fishes such as salmonids involves natural mortality in a series
of distinct life history stages, occurring sequentially in different habitats. Decades of research …

Hatcheries are vital to many salmon fisheries, with inherent risks and rewards. While
hatcheries can increase the returns of adult fish, the demographic and evolutionary …

The goal of this review was to identify literature published in 2019 that was most relevant to
prediction and mitigation of climate change impacts on Columbia River Pacific salmon …

For over a century, hatchery programs have been used to subsidize natural salmon
populations in order to increase fisheries opportunities and, more recently, to conserve …

Selection regimes and population structures can be powerfully changed by domestication
and feralization, and these changes can modulate animal fitness in both captive and natural …

Quantitative models that simulate the inheritance and evolution of fitness‐linked traits offer a
method for predicting how environmental or anthropogenic perturbations can affect the …

Environmental factors such as nutrition, stress, and toxicants can influence epigenetic
programming and phenotypes of a wide variety of species from plants to humans. The …
