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 …

Pacific salmon in hot water: applying aerobic scope models and biotelemetry to predict the success of spawning migrations
Concern over global climate change is widespread, but quantifying relationships between

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 …

Effects of river temperature and climate warming on stock‐specific survival of adult migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)
Mean summer water temperatures in the Fraser River (British Columbia, Canada) have
increased by∼ 1.5° C since the 1950s. In recent years, record high river temperatures …
