Patterns of dispersal in riverine populations of Australian smelt (Retropinna semoni) were
examined using otolith chemistry (Mg: Ca, Mn: Ca, Sr: Ca, Ba: Ca) and genetic markers …

Southern smelts (R etropinna spp.) in coastal rivers of A ustralia are facultatively
diadromous, with populations potentially containing individuals with diadromous or wholly …

Understanding the migratory behaviour of fishes is critical to the conservation and
management of fish assemblages in coastal rivers. We analysed the otolith chemical …

Studies using otolith chemistry to distinguish fish stocks in fresh waters have suggested that
spatial heterogeneity in basin geology determines the scale of stock discrimination possible …

Dispersal during the early life history of the anadromous rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax,
was examined using assignment testing and mixture analysis of multilocus genotypes and …

For riverine fishes threatened by fragmentation and flow modification, effective management
requires an understanding of when and where key life history processes (spawning …

Connectivity between estuarine and coastal populations is poorly understood but
fundamental to the study of population dynamics, as well as the design of effective …

We tested the hypothesis that otolith trace elemental signatures (microchemistries) of
mottled sculpin Cottus bairdi, slimy sculpin C. cognatus, and juvenile coho salmon …

Isotope ratios and elemental concentrations in otoliths are often used as natural tags to
reconstruct migratory movements and connectivity patterns in marine and anadromous …

Contemporary genetic spatial structure in north temperate marine species is likely the
culmination of multiple vicariant and dispersive cycles. Here we evaluate spatial genetic …
