Age at maturity is a key life history trait involving a trade-off between survival risk and
reproductive investment, and is an important factor for population structures. In ectotherms, a …

Abstract Background In Atlantic salmon in the wild, age at maturity is strongly influenced by
the vgll3 locus. Under farming conditions, light, temperature and feeding regimes are known …

Sexual maturation is a pivotal life-history trait that balances the probabilities between
mortality and reproduction. Environmental vs. genetic contributions to maturation component …

In Atlantic salmon, age at maturation is a life history trait governed by a sex‐specific trade‐off
between reproductive success and survival. Following environmental changes across large …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a species with diverse life‐history strategies, to which the
timing of maturation contributes considerably. Recently, the genome region including the …

Understanding the genetic basis of repeated evolution of the same phenotype across taxa is
a fundamental aim in evolutionary biology and has applications in conservation and …

Co‐inheritance in life‐history traits may result in unpredictable evolutionary trajectories if not
accounted for in life‐history models. Iteroparity (the reproductive strategy of reproducing …

Age at maturity is a key life‐history trait of most organisms. In anadromous salmonid fishes
such as Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), age at sexual maturity is associated with sea age, the …

Efforts to understand the genetic underpinnings of phenotypic variation are becoming more
and more frequent in molecular ecology. Such efforts often lead to the identification of …

Sexual maturation timing is a life‐history trait central to the balance between mortality and
reproduction. Maturation may be triggered when an underlying compound trait, called …
