The increasing feasibility of assembling large genomic datasets for non-model species
presents both opportunities and challenges for applied conservation and management. A …

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 …

Migration is an important ecological trait that allows animals to exploit resources in different
habitats, obtaining extra energy for growth and reproduction. The phenology (or timing) of …

In migratory animals, the developmental period from inexperienced juveniles to breeding
adults could be a key life stage in shaping population migration patterns. Nevertheless, the …

The distribution of ecotypic variation in natural populations is influenced by neutral and
adaptive evolutionary forces that are challenging to disentangle. This study provides a high …

In freshwater ecosystems, water temperature and discharge are two intrinsically associated
triggers of key events in the life cycle of aquatic organisms such as the migration of …

Barriers such as hydroelectric dams inhibit migratory pathways essential to many aquatic
species, resulting in significant losses of species, their unique life-history forms, and genetic …

Understanding the evolutionary responses of anadromous salmon and trout to climate
change is critical for effective conservation planning. In this study, we conducted a …

Indigenous tribes of the interior Columbia River have developed a mutual relationship with
native fishes since time immemorial. However, extensive disruption to the natural ecosystem …

Phenological mismatch has been highlighted as a reason why climate change is causing
declines of migratory populations. The likelihood of declines due to phenological mismatch …
