Parental experience matters: parental temp/discharge exposure-gamete viability maternal stress -egg size & fry size maternal stress & disease status -fry swimming ability fertilization temperature -egg survival Challenge is linking individual-level research results to population-level consequences D.

40 Definition of COSEWIC terms and status categories: Extinct (X): A wildlife species that no longer exists. Extirpated (XT): A wildlife species that no longer exists in the wild in Canada, but exists elsewhere. Endangered (E): A wildlife species facing imminent extirpation or extinction. Threatened (T): A wildlife species that is likely to become Endangered if nothing is done to reverse the factors leading to its extirpation or extinction. Special Concern (SC): A wildlife species that may become Threatened or Endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. 40
