  • Ecological Inference from Variable Recruitment Data 

    Minto, Cóilín (2011-06-30)
    To understand the processes affecting the abundance of wild populations is a fundamental goal of ecology and a prerequisite for the management of living resources. Variable abundance, however, makes the investigation of ...

  • Individual Variation in Migration Speed of Upriver-Migrating Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River in Relation to Their Physiological and Energetic Status at Marine Approach 

    Hanson, Kyle C.; Cooke, Steven J.; Hinch, Scott G.; Crossin, Glenn Terrence; Patterson, David A.; English, Karl K.; Donaldson, Michael R.; Shrimpton, JMark; Van der Kraak, Glen; Farrell, Anthony P. (University of Chicago Press, P.O. Box 37005 Chicago IL 60637 USA, [mailto:help@press.uchicago.edu], [URL:http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/], 2008)
    Little research has examined individual variation in migration speeds of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in natural river systems or attempted to link migratory behavior with physiological and energetic status on a ...

  • Modelling phase shifts in a rocky subtidal ecosystem 

    Lauzon-Guay, Jean-Sebastien; Scheibling, Robert Eric; Barbeau, Myriam A. (Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, [mailto:ir@int-res.com], [URL:http://www.int-res.com/], 2008-03)
    The rocky subtidal ecosystem of the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia is characterised by 2 community states, kelp beds and urchin barrens that alternate on a decadal time scale. While the shift from barrens to a kelp bed ...

  • Nonstationary Productivity in Global Fish Stocks 

    Britten, Gregory (2014-12-22)
    Environmental change in the ocean has raised significant concern over the continued productivity of global fisheries resources. In this thesis, I investigate time-varying rates of population growth and biomass production ...

  • Pacific Salmon in Hot Water: Applying Aerobic Scope Models and Biotelemetry to Predict the Success of Spawning Migrations 

    Farrell, A. P.; Hinch, S. G.; Cooke, S. J.; Patterson, DA; Crossin, Glenn Terrence; Lapointe, M.; Mathes, M. T. (University of Chicago Press, P.O. Box 37005 Chicago IL 60637 USA, [mailto:help@press.uchicago.edu], [URL:http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/], 2008-12)
    Concern over global climate change is widespread, but quantifying relationships between temperature change and animal fitness has been a challenge for scientists. Our approach to this challenge was to study migratory ...
