Fine‐scale population structure has been widely described for salmonid populations using
neutral genetic markers, but whether that structure reflects adaptive differences among the …

The molecular genetic mechanisms facilitating local adaptation in salmonids continue to be
poorly characterized. Gene transcription is a highly regulated step in the expression of a …

Local adaptation occurs when a population evolves a phenotype that confers a selective
advantage in its local environment, but which may not be advantageous in other habitats …

One of the major challenges facing conservation biology is characterizing the genetic
variation underlying adaptation to different environments. Gene expression is the process …

Despite decades of research assessing the genetic structure of natural populations, the
biological meaning of low yet significant genetic divergence often remains unclear due to a …

Natural populations that evolve under extreme climates are likely to diverge because of
selection in local environments. To explore whether local adaptation has occurred in …

Understanding the genomic basis of adaptative intraspecific phenotypic variation is a central
goal in conservation genetics and evolutionary biology. Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) …

Elucidating the genetic basis of adaptation to the local environment can improve our
understanding of how the diversity of life has evolved. In this study, we used a dense SNP …

Little is known about the genetic basis differentiating resident and anadromous forms found
in many salmonid species. Using a medium‐density SNP array, we documented genomic …

A growing number of studies are examining the factors driving historical and contemporary
evolution in wild populations. By combining surveys of genomic variation with a …
