Along-corridor statistics shown only for regions utilized by post-smolts from each population grouping. Detrended (diff) correlations calculated only where trends are present in the time series. Lag indicates years of lag giving significant correlation; peak of cross-correlation given in brackets. Symbols indicate P-values, as previously defined.
