Sentence examples for migration timing in from inspiring English sources

Consistent with this hypothesis, they documented a very fast shift in migration timing in shad and high interannual correlation with temperature (a fine-grained population response).

Several papers found that migration timing in juvenile salmon has advanced at a rate similar to that of water temperature (Kennedy and Crozier 2010; Russell et al. 2012; Todd et al. 2012).

The model results indicated that plasticity for migration timing in this sockeye population is largely a function of river flow and that the intercept for the norm of reaction has shifted by 3 6 days over 60 years (15 generations).

For all regression models, hereafter, we made inference based on the proportion of the posterior distributions that fell to one side of 0. Winter range area was related to fall migration termination and initiation dates, while age was not related to migration timing in any of the analyses (Table 1; Appendix S5).

Later initiation of smolt migration or slower migration through the river would likely increase in-river mortality, thus setting the stage for climate change to impose contradictory selection on migration timing through in-river survival (favors earlier migration) and early-ocean survival (favors later migration).

Finally, selection on ocean entry timing might be strong because the plastic shift in migration timing acted in the opposite direction from the new optimal.

We were unable to explicitly identify hybrid individuals, but data showed that many individuals (especially the unassigned) were likely hybrids, and much of the overlap in migration timing seen in Fig. 5 might be due to these individuals.

Not surprisingly, our individual-based approach revealed significant individual variability in migration timing, and residency time.

Migration timing was tested in units of the statistical week in which Pacific lamprey were collected and sampled at Bonneville Dam.

They argued that the change is adaptive based on a space-for-time comparison of trends in migration timing across a latitudinal gradient associated with temperature in many populations.

Receptors for gonadotropin have been shown to be associated with return migration timing for spawning in chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta; Onuma et al. 2010), a trait that could be under selection in all migratory salmonids.
