Purification and biological characterization of chinook salmon prolactin [PDF]

open access: yesGeneral and Comparative Endocrinology, 1984
Prolactin from chinook salmon pituitaries was purified by acid acetone extraction, saline precipitation, chromatofocusing, and gel filtration. This procedure allowed us to recover highly purified prolactin as demonstrated by the presence of a single NH2-terminal amino acid and a single band in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis.

Estimating the benefits of widespread floodplain reconnection for Columbia River Chinook salmon

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2019
In the Pacific Northwest, widespread stream channel simplification has led to a loss of habitat area and diversity for rearing salmon. Subsequent efforts throughout the Columbia River basin (CRB) have attempted to restore habitats altered through land ...

Polyphyletic ancestry of expanding Patagonian Chinook salmon populations [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractChinook salmon native to North America are spreading through South America’s Patagonia and have become the most widespread anadromous salmon invasion ever documented. To better understand the colonization history and role that genetic diversity might have played in the founding and radiation of these new populations, we characterized ancestry ...

Modeling timing and size of juvenile Chinook salmon out-migrants at three Elwha River rotary screw traps: a window into early life history post dam removal

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) populations express diverse early life history pathways that increase habitat utilization and demographic resiliency.

Competing tradeoffs between increasing marine mammal predation and fisheries harvest of Chinook salmon

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Many marine mammal predators, particularly pinnipeds, have increased in abundance in recent decades, generating new challenges for balancing human uses with recovery goals via ecosystem-based management.

Microhaplotype Methods Enable Relationship Inference in a Bottlenecked Mammalian Species

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) are among the most genetically depauperate mammals in the world. A near‐total population bottleneck in the 19th century, coupled with the breeding system of extreme polygyny, has challenged efforts to estimate individual reproductive success with genetic methods.

Signals of large scale climate drivers, hatchery enhancement, and marine factors in Yukon River Chinook salmon survival revealed with a Bayesian life history model

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2018
Understanding how species might respond to climate change involves disentangling the influence of co‐occurring environmental factors on population dynamics, and is especially problematic for migratory species like Pacific salmon that move between ...

Characterizing juvenile salmon predation risk during early marine residence.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Predation mortality can influence the distribution and abundance of fish populations. While predation is often assessed using direct observations of prey consumption, potential predation can be predicted from co-occurring predator and prey densities ...

Integrating Sr isotopes, microchemistry, and genetics to reconstruct Salmonidae species and life history

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent approaches to fisheries research emphasize the importance of the coproduction of knowledge in building resilient and culturally mindful fisheries management frameworks. Despite widespread recognition of the need for Indigenous knowledge and historical reference points as baseline data, archaeological data are rarely included in ...

Thermal exposure of adult Chinook salmon and steelhead: Diverse behavioral strategies in a large and warming river system

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Rising river temperatures in western North America have increased the energetic costs of migration and the risk of premature mortality in many Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations.
