Effects of Predation on Telemetry-Based Survival Estimates: Insights from a Study on Endangered Atlantic Salmon Smolts

Telemetry is increasingly being used to estimate population-level survival rates. However, these estimates may be affected by the detectability of telemetry tags and are reliant on the assumption t...
