Population-based management is central to the conservation of highly exploited species.
Managing to sustain population diversity is especially challenging for migratory species. The …

Regions of the genome displaying elevated differentiation (genomic islands of divergence)
are thought to play an important role in local adaptation, especially in populations …

Regulations on the exploitation of populations of commercially important fish species and
the ensuing consumer interest in sustainable products have increased the need to …

We genotyped Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from the Bering Sea and North
Pacific Ocean for 43 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to investigate seasonal …

The microbiota consists of microbes living in or on an organism and has been implicated in
host health and function. Environmental and host-related factors were shown to shape host …

North America's northern lakes are undergoing major changes. Lake Superior is the coldest
and northernmost of the Laurentian Great Lakes. Here, we present an extension of a long …

The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are an important component of the
vertebrate immune system and can provide insights into the role of pathogen‐mediated …

Background DNA extracted from historical samples is an important resource for
understanding genetic consequences of anthropogenic influences and long-term …

The variability of an MHC complex gene in sockeye salmon populations throughout the
Asian range was studied to identify “footprints” indicative of pathogen-mediated selection …

Identifying the spatial distribution of genetic variation across the landscape is an essential
step in informing species conservation. Comparison of closely related and geographically …
