DOI: 10.1007/s10661-022-09857-1
Abstract: Long-term monitoring enables scientists and managers to track changes in the temporal and spatial distributions of fishes. Given the anthropogenic stressors affecting marine ecosystem health, there is a critical need for robust, comprehensive fish monitoring… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2018.11.040
Abstract: Abstract Archaeologists have paid substantial attention to the social transformations coinciding with the widespread adoption of bow and arrow technologies. Social network analysis (SNA) is used to examine stone tool assemblages from the Salish Sea.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182022000233
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Earth is rapidly losing free-living species. Is the same true for parasitic species? To reveal temporal trends in biodiversity, historical data are needed, but often such data do not exist for parasites. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.1c03760
Abstract: Marine predators are monitored as indicators of pollution, but such trends can be complicated by variation in diet. Glaucous-winged gulls (Larus glaucescens) have experienced a dietary shift over the past century, from mainly marine to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13359
Abstract: Coastal Indigenous communities that rely on subsistence harvests are uniquely vulnerable to declines in nearshore species. The basket cockle Clinocardium nuttallii is among the favored foods of Indigenous people along the northwest Pacific coast of… read more here.

Congruent population structure across paralogous and nonparalogous loci in Salish Sea chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.14163
Abstract: Whole‐genome duplications are major evolutionary events with a lasting impact on genome structure. Duplication events complicate genetic analyses as paralogous sequences are difficult to distinguish; consequently, paralogs are often excluded from studies. The effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0269269
Abstract: Despite growing interest in edible seaweeds, there is limited information on seaweed chemical contaminant levels in the Salish Sea. Without this knowledge, health-based consumption advisories can not be determined for consumers that include Tribes and… read more here.
