Improved viability of populations with diverse life-history portfolios

Abstract: A principle shared by both economists and ecologists is that a diversified portfolio spreads risk, but this idea has little empirical support in the field of population biology. We found that population growth rates (recruits per spawner) and lifehistory diversity as measured by variation in freshwater and ocean residency were negatively correlated across short time periods (one to two generations), but positively correlated at longer time periods, in nine Bristol Bay sockeye salmon populations. Further, the r… Show more

“…groups of individuals within the same stock exhibiting different patterns of migration, are part of the life-history portfolio of a species (Greene et al 2010, Schindler et al 2010), yet very little information exists on their consequences for the conservation of exploited marine resources. Behavioural effects on vulnerability to harvest have only been recently investigated (Biro & Post 2008), and revealed that more active and bold fish, for example migratory fish, are likely to be more vulnerable to harvest than sedentary fish (Biro & Post 2008).…”

“…Spawning-age variation reduces the probability of all individuals in a cohort suffering as a consequence of the same temporary environmental conditions [81,82]. The population growth rate and life-history variation appear to be positively correlated in the long term, even though they may be inversely connected over short time periods [81].…”

“…Many salmonid stocks are thought to be buffered from demographic stochasticity through risk being spread across different cohorts that can mature and spawn in mixed-age classes (Greene et al 2010;). In addition, the presence of a significant number of age-4 spawners could positively influence SRWRC productivity through increases in fecundity common to larger females (Beacham and Murray 1993).…”
