TL;DR: Convincing stakeholders to comply with management actions aimed at controlling native invaders creates societal challenges and policy makers must prioritize goals from varied and often conflicting human interests.

TL;DR: In this article, the status and risk assessment for 152 listed salmonid stocks in the Columbia River Basin and 24 non-listed stocks were presented, under two different assumptions: that hatchery-reared spawners were not reproducing during the period of the censuses and thus that reproduction from hatchery inputs was masking population trends.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the effect of nonindigenous species on salmon could equal or exceed that of four commonly addressed causes of adverse impacts—habitat alteration, harvest, hatcheries, and the hydrosystem; it is suggested that managing nonind Indigenous species may be imperative for salmon recovery.

TL;DR: This work evaluated the efficacy of using caudal fin clips by comparing tissues collected across time, space, and body size for juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha and O. mykiss and found that the relationship between fin clips and dorsal muscle is correlated for both δ15N and δ13C determination.

TL;DR: Comparing the characteristics of lost habitats with currently accessible habitats and the heritability of traits which show correlations with habitat/environmental gradients suggests that loss of habitat will alter evolutionary trajectories in salmonid populations and Evolutionarily Significant Units.
