Process-based model of fish incubation survival for designing reservoir operations: a case study for Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon

The paper develops a process-based model to optimize reservoir operations for salmon egg survival by targeting cold water to the critical hatching stage rather than maintaining low temperatures throughout incubation.

Survival of prey growing through gape-limited and apex predators

The paper introduces a mechanistic model explaining how predator size distribution affects prey survival, using Chinook salmon data to show variable recruitment control by juvenile or adult predator interactions.

Survival of prey growing through gape-limited predators

The paper models juvenile to adult fish survival by how prey escape gape-limited predators through growth, showing that increased initial size or growth rate significantly boosts adult survival.

The Relationship Of Survivorship And Body Mass Modeled By Metabolic And Vitality Theories

The paper models the relationship between body mass and survivorship using a combined metabolic and vitality framework, showing how intrinsic and extrinsic mortality processes vary with body mass.
