Vast global declines of freshwater and marine fish diversity and population abundance pose
serious threats to both ecosystem sustainability and human livelihoods. Environmental DNA …

Atlantic salmon is often a focal species of restoration efforts throughout the north Atlantic and
it is therefore an excellent case study for how best to design programmes to address and …

The world's oceans are currently facing major stressors in the form of overexploitation and
anthropogenic climate change. The Baltic Sea was home to the first “industrial” fishery∼ 800 …

The effective size of a population (N e), which determines its level of neutral variability, is a
key evolutionary parameter. N e can substantially depart from census sizes of present-day …

Understanding the dual roles of demographic and selective processes in the buildup of
population divergence is one of the most challenging tasks in evolutionary biology. Here, we …

Chromosomal inversions have been implicated in facilitating adaptation in the face of high
levels of gene flow, but whether chromosomal fusions also have similar potential remains …

The glacial cycles of the Quaternary heavily impacted species through successions of
population contractions and expansions. Similarly, populations have been intensely shaped …

The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, is an emerging biotechnological agent with its larvae
being effective converters of organic waste into usable bio‐products including protein and …

Effective population size (N e) is a particularly useful metric for conservation as it affects
genetic drift, inbreeding and adaptive potential within populations. Current guidelines …

The effective population size (Ne) is a central factor in determining maintenance of genetic
variation. The neutral theory predicts that loss of variation depends on Ne, with less genetic …
