NotesThis article reviews recent literature on habitat connectivity “within and among freshwater, estuary and marine environments, and the role of local adaptation to conditions in each of them” (p.434). Most available research on habitat connectivity in salmonids focuses on the freshwater environment, and more research is needed on estuarine and marine environments. Interestingly, more published research in this area seems to have taken place after 2012. The restoration of salt marsh habitat in the Salmon River estuary is mentioned, as is the vulnerability of Oregon estuaries to climate change.
