We simulated a contraction in the distribution of spawning populations of coho salmon over 35 years at 100 sites on a single hypothetical river system (Fig. 3), designed with randomly selected distances among spawning locations. Contractions in spawning distribution can occur when returns to some sites are reduced compared with others, but those declines may be mitigated by the movement of spawners from populated to depleted sites.

neutral  philgoddard: It's not "the main term". It's a synonym, and you shouldn't have disagreed with texjax's answer.

  -> oh. sorry Phil. I just didn't think it was that great and hers are usually wonderful, like yours are. Why don't you think it's the main term? I wonder if this is a usage difference between US and GB
