Modeling the interaction between salmon management and consumption by coastal brown bears
Abstract Harvest management policy for species with strong trophic connections can reverberate through food webs and cause unintended consequences, such as altering the abundance of a harvested species' predators or prey. Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), a key food for many predators and an economically valuable harvested species, is generally ...

Abstract Variation in size and age at maturity is an important component of life history that is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. In salmonids, large size confers a direct reproductive advantage through increased fecundity and egg quality in females, while larger males gain a reproductive advantage by monopolizing access to females.

Abstract Males of many fish species exhibit alternative reproductive tactics, which can influence the maturation schedules, fishery productivity, and resilience to harvest of exploited populations. While alternative mating phenotypes can persist in stable equilibria through frequency‐dependent selection, shifts in tactic frequencies have been observed ...

Abstract Animal consumers track spatial variation in resource phenology (i.e., resource waves) to prolong their access to ephemeral foods. While recent work has revealed how animals move across landscapes to exploit phenological variation among discrete foraging patches, much less is known about how variation nested within patches influences the ...

Population coherence and environmental impacts across spatial scales: a case study of Chinook salmon
Abstract A central problem in understanding how species respond to global change is in parsing the effects of local drivers of population dynamics from regional and global drivers that are shared among populations. Management and conservation efforts that typically focus on a particular population would benefit greatly from being able to separate the ...

Abstract We analyzed biomarkers, including sterols, stanols, and δ15N, in sediment cores from lakes with well‐documented sockeye salmon return histories. Our goal was to improve estimates of past changes in salmon escapement, that is, the population that return to their freshwater nursery lakes, inferred using sediment biogeochemical markers ...

Abstract Hybridization between divergent lineages can result in losses of distinct evolutionary taxa. Alternatively, hybridization can lead to increased genetic variability that may fuel local adaptation and the generation of novel traits and/or taxa.

An Examination of the Wrangel Island Sea Ice Thickness Dipole
Abstract The Beaufort Sea High is a high‐pressure system located in the Beaufort Sea that influences ocean circulation in the western Arctic known as the Beaufort Gyre. Wrangel Island, located in the western Chukchi Sea, typically experiences easterly sea ice motion due to the Beaufort Gyre.
