Conservation planning; salmonid habitat modeling; forest genetics.

Landscape predictors of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) habitat suitability and relative abundance in the Nome River, Alaska. Associations between coho salmon and landscape characteristics and how these associations may vary with intrinsic potential in western Oregon. Upslope/riparian and in-channel relationships to predict in-channel conditions for the Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Program of the Northwest Forest Plan. Representativeness of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Life Cycle Monitoring Basins for Oregon coast coho salmon.
