    Abstract
    Despite the importance of alternative life history strategies to population productivity, little is known about the mating structure of precocial ('jack') males in Pacific salmon. The number of successful matings obtained by jacks in the wild is not well characterized and the impact of including or excluding jacks in the management of Pacific salmon populations is unknown. This study aims to fill knowledge gaps in the understanding of jack life history by 1) determining the typical contribution of jacks to the next generation in a natural mating population; and 2) estimating the impact of jacks on genetic diversity. The study capitalizes upon 11 years of demographic and genetic data from a naturally spawning population of Coho Salmon from Auke Creek, in Juneau, Alaska. Individuals returning over this time period (~8,000 individuals) were genotyped at ~250 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. Using these genotypes, we quantified the adult-to-adult reproductive success of different male types using parentage analysis for each of seven return years and compared genetic and demographic estimates of effective population size. We demonstrated that although jacks were less successful than full-size males on a per individual basis, they contributed substantially to the population and influenced population and evolutionary dynamics.
