Mating success of alternative male phenotypes and evidence for frequency-dependent selection in Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (2010, background): “Physiological traits mediated by environmental conditions have been shown to trigger early male maturation (Vøllestad et al. 2004; Shearer et al. 2006), and growth thresholds for early male maturity can differ among populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Piché et al. 2008).”
John Maynard Smith and the importance of consistency in evolutionary game theory (2006, background): “For example, the crucial state variable could be early growth rate (there is evidence that larger individuals return as Jacks, see Vollestad et al. (2004) ).”
Comparison of Life History Traits between First-Generation Hatchery and Wild Upper Yakima River Spring Chinook Salmon (2006, background): “Larger juvenile size at release can result in increased production of age-3 males (jacks) in Chinook salmon (Vøllestad et al. 2004), but mean release sizes of CESRF juveniles did not increase steadily over time (Table 2) and in-river hatchery smolt samples demonstrated a flat temporal trend in…”
