Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

Environmental change challenges local and global survival of populations and species. In a
species-poor environment like the Baltic Sea this is particularly critical as major ecosystem …

The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), one of the most abundant marine fishes in the
world, has historically been a critical food source in Northern Europe. It is one of the few …

Ecological adaptation is of major relevance to speciation and sustainable population
management, but the underlying genetic factors are typically hard to study in natural …

The Atlantic herring is a model species for exploring the genetic basis for ecological
adaptation, due to its huge population size and extremely low genetic differentiation at …

Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most
abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due …

Detecting and estimating the degree of genetic differentiation among populations of highly
mobile marine fish having pelagic larval stages is challenging because their effective …

In many marine fish species, genetic population structure is typically weak because
populations are large, evolutionarily young and have a high potential for gene flow. We …

A large number of species and taxa have been studied for genetic polymorphism.
Microsatellites have been known as hypervariable neutral molecular markers with the …

Marine fish often show little genetic structuring in neutral marker genes, and Atlantic herring
(Clupea harengus) in the Baltic Sea are no exception; historically, very low levels of …
