	title = {Variation in the Timing of Coho Salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus kisutch</i>) Migration and Spawning Relative to River Discharge and Temperature},
	year = {2013},
	note = {This very interesting study examines different factors that induce salmon to begin their migrations towards spawning grounds.  {\textquotedblleft}This study compares interannual patterns in the timing of coho mid-river migration in the North Umpqua (180 km up river from the estuary) and the initiation of spawn timing in the Smith River basins (Oregon) with river discharge and water temperature data to ascertain whether these behaviors are driven by fluvial conditions. Additionally, we used this data to identify the window over which most migration and spawning takes place in our test systems.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  The North Umpqua study used Winchester Dam passage data for 1998-2010.  In the Smith River study, the author contrasted data from stream gauging stations at five locations in the basin with observations of run timing.  The major professor was Mary V. Santelmann.},
