• Experimental evidence of homing to site of incubation by mature sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka (2006, background): “The creek is very shallow, and many salmon (over threefourths in 2004) become stranded or are killed by bears or gulls at the mouth, or during their migration upstream (Quinn & Buck 2001).”
• Brown bears selectively kill salmon with higher energy content but only in habitats that facilitate choice (2004, background): “Hansen Creek provides virtually no refuge from predation because it lacks pools or large woody debris, and the water is so shallow that some salmon even die of stranding (Quinn and Buck 2001, Quinn et al. 2001b).”
• Balancing natural and sexual selection in sockeye salmon: interactions between body size, reproductive opportunity and vulnerability to predation by bears (2001, background): “Unlike previous studies that estimated selection by examining carcasses (e.g. Quinn and Kinnison, 1999; Quinn and Buck, 2001), the tagging approach allowed us to (1) measure the morphology of salmon near the peak of their development (Hendry and Berg, 1999), (2) determine the entry date of each fish”
• Transportation of Pacific salmon carcasses from streams to riparian forests by bears (2009, background): “Salmon found dead had either died by stranding at the mouth or in the stream itself, were killed by gulls (Quinn and Buck 2001; Carlson and Quinn 2007), died of senescence after about 1–3 weeks in the stream (Carlson et al. 2007), or were killed by bears, as evidenced by the prominent bite marks…”
• RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF SALMON BODY SIZE AND ARRIVAL TIME AT BREEDING GROUNDS TO REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS (2005, background): “Countering these advantages, large size and early arrival may increase vulnerability to bear predation (Quinn and Buck 2001, Quinn et al. 2003).”
