The dynamic Quaternary geology of the Pacific Ring of Fire created substantial challenges for biogeography. Fish life history and population genetic variation were shaped by climate …
Gene sequence similarity due to shared ancestry after a duplication event, that is paralogy, complicates the assessment of genetic variation, as sequences originating from paralogs can …
Recent advances in molecular interrogation techniques now allow unprecedented genomic inference about the role of adaptive genetic divergence in wild populations. We used high‐…
Many studies exclude loci that exhibit linkage disequilibrium (LD); however, high LD can signal reduced recombination around genomic features such as chromosome inversions or sex-…
We characterize 32 single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping assays for resolving genotypic variation in sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka in the Pacific Rim. These assays are …
Persistent problems in salmon aquaculture include the mortality of pen-cultured fish due to early maturation of males, the added expense of rearing juveniles of some species in …
Studying the effect of similar environments on diverse genetic backgrounds has long been a goal of evolutionary biologists with studies typically relying on experimental approaches. …
Invasive species with migratory behavior and complex life cycle represent a challenge for evaluating natal sites among individuals. Private and government-sponsored initiatives …
We examined genetic diversity patterns among 55 collections of Chum Salmon from the northeastern Pacific Ocean using 89 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The distribution …
A whole‐genome duplication ( WGD ) doubles the entire genomic content of a species and is thought to have catalysed adaptive radiation in some polyploid‐origin lineages. However, …
