Abstract
⺠Significant correlation between salmon abundance and social structure in resident killer whales. ⺠In years of high chinook salmon abundance the social structure is more interconnected. ⺠This may have implications for information or disease transfer, gene flow and mating dynamics. ⺠These effects occur independent of group size.
