Due to the mediating role of body size in determining fitness, the “bigger‐is‐better” hypothesis still pervades evolutionary ecology despite evidence that natural selection on phenotypic traits varies in time and space.

Ecotoxicity Thresholds for Ametryn, Diuron, Hexazinone and Simazine in Fresh and Marine Waters [PDF]
Triazine and urea herbicides are two groups of photosystem II inhibiting herbicides frequently detected in surface, ground and marine waters. Yet, there are few water quality guidelines for herbicides. Ecotoxicity thresholds (ETs) for ametryn, hexazinone

An omnivore's options: Altered predator behavior during periods of overlapping resource pulses
Abstract Resource pulses are ecologically important events that occur in most ecosystems, yet most of our previous knowledge about their effects comes from relatively simple single pulse systems. In reality, many consumers likely attempt to track multiple, sometimes overlapping, resource pulses through space and time.

Dividing population genetic distance data with the software Partitioning Optimization with Restricted Growth Strings (PORGS): an application for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Vancouver Island, British Columbia [PDF]
A new method of finding the optimal group membership and number of groupings to partition population genetic distance data is presented. The software program Partitioning Optimization with Restricted Growth Strings (PORGS), visits all possible set ...

Climate vulnerability assessment for Pacific salmon and steelhead in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem. [PDF]
Major ecological realignments are already occurring in response to climate change. To be successful, conservation strategies now need to account for geographical patterns in traits sensitive to climate change, as well as climate threats to species-level ...

Range‐wide life history diversity and climate exposure in adult Chinook salmon
Abstract Climate change is threatening ecologically and culturally important species. For species with broad ranges and complex life cycles, such as migratory Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), climate exposure may vary across space and diverse life history strategies.

The Origins of New Zealand's Chinook Salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha [PDF]
Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, are well established as anadromous and landlocked runs in New Zealand. Ova introductions during the 1870's (probably from the McCloud River, California, U.S.A.), failed to generate anadromous stocks, but further ...

We investigate a population dynamics model that exhibits a Neimark Sacker bifurcation with a period that is naturally close to 4. Beyond the bifurcation, the period becomes soon locked at 4 due to a strong resonance, and a second attractor of period 2 ...
