Transportation of Pacific salmon carcasses from streams to riparian forests by bears (2009, background): “In recent years the complex role that Pacific salmon (genus Oncorhynchus Suckley, 1861) play in freshwater and riparian ecosystems has been investigated and reviewed (Willson and Halupka 1995; Willson et al. 1998; Gende et al. 2002; Naiman et al. 2002; Schindler et al. 2003; Helfield and Naiman 2006”
Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “Anadromous-derived nutrients represent an important source for many freshwater ecosystems (Schindler et al. 2003), but large-bodied introduced predators can interrupt these fluxes by intensively preying upon anadromous fish spe- Fisheries • vol 36 no 5 • may 2011 • www.fisheries.org 222 cies.”
Nutrient export from freshwater ecosystems by anadromous sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) (2004, background): “Declines in salmon populations have raised concerns about how reductions of this subsidy will impact specific species as well as the overall productivity and biodiversity of coastal ecosystems (Willson and Halupka 1995; Naiman et al. 2002; Schindler et al. 2003).”
Centuries of Anadromous Forage Fish Loss: Consequences for Ecosystem Connectivity and Productivity (2012, background): “In systems that have large anadromous fish populations, the marine–terrestrial connection is important for ecological functioning (Schindler et al. 2003, Walters et al. 2009), which suggests that lost connections between land and sea result in impaired ecosystems.”
Abnormal Migration Timing and High en route Mortality of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River, British Columbia (2004, background): “Ecologically, salmon are important components of food chains in both freshwater and marine environments (Naiman et al. 2002; Schindler et al. 2003).”
Anadromous alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) contribute marine-derived nutrients to coastal stream food webs (2009, background): “Stable isotope analyses are very useful for showing the degree to which alewife resources are incorporated into aquatic food webs, but they tell us little about the effects on population, community, and ecosystem dynamics (Naiman et al. 2002; Schindler et al. 2003 ).”
Framework for Assessing Viability of Threatened and Endangered Chinook Salmon and Steelhead in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Basin (2007, background): “Many salmonid populations are capable of achieving much lower risk levels and can provide additional benefits to ecosystems (Schindler et al. 2003) and people (e.g., by providing fishing opportunities) at these higher levels of abundance and productivity.”
There and back again: migration in freshwater fishes (2014, background): “…among fish is the ontogenetically drivenmigrations of the salmon and trout species complex of the Pacific Northwest of North America (Naiman et al. 2002; Schindler et al. 2003), where fish are born in lakes, migrate to sea as juveniles, and then grow tremendously in size based on marine resources.”
Varying effects of anadromous sockeye salmon on the trophic ecology of two species of resident salmonids in southwest Alaska (2007, background): “) link marine, estuarine, freshwater and riparian ecosystems through the annual upstream spawning migration of adults and the downstream migration of juveniles toward the ocean (Levy, 1997; Naiman et al., 2002; Schindler et al., 2003).”
