Evolutionary consequences of habitat loss for Pacific anadromous salmonids
Large portions of anadromous salmonid habitat in the western United States has been lost because of dams and other blockages. This loss has the potential to affect salmonid evolution through natural selection if the loss is biased, affecting certain types of habitat differentially, and if phenotypic traits correlated with those habitat types are heritable. Habitat loss can also affect salmonid ...
متن کاملEvolutionary effects of alternative artificial propagation programs: implications for viability of endangered anadromous salmonids
Most hatchery programs for anadromous salmonids have been initiated to increase the numbers of fish for harvest, to mitigate for habitat losses, or to increase abundance in populations at low abundance. However, the manner in which these programs are implemented can have significant impacts on the evolutionary trajectory and long-term viability of populations. In this paper, we review the poten...
متن کاملState-Dependent Migration Timing and Use of Multiple Habitat Types in Anadromous Salmonids
Anadromous salmonids vary considerably in their age at ocean entry, their timing of ocean entry within a year, and the extent to which they use multiple habitat types within freshwater. To better understand habitat use and movement timing, we developed a broadly applicable model of state-dependent movements among multiple habitats, which was parameterized based on a case study of steelhead Onco...
متن کاملThe Role of Structure in the Physical Habitat of Anadromous Salmonids
A fundamental difference between a canal and a natural stream is structure. Structure includes all the typical anomalies of natural streams that deflect the general downstream flow, such as bends, bars, bedrock knobs, boulders, landslide deposits, and large woody debris. This results in the storage of watershed products in the channel, and in a great heterogeneity in depth, velocity, stream gra...
متن کاملA collective navigation hypothesis for homeward migration in anadromous salmonids
Anadromous salmon (genera Oncorhynchus and Salmo) spend much of their lives feeding in productive northern oceans and then return home to natal sites for reproduction with remarkable accuracy. The mechanisms used for navigation by individuals during migrations are thought to include geomagnetic, celestial and olfactory cues, but rarely are social interactions between individuals considered. Mou...
