Phenotypic differences among populations within a species have been reported for a variety
of traits, ranging from life history to physiology to gene transcription. Population‐level …

We developed seven polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based markers that detect genetic
variation at loci related to growth (four) and immune function (three) in chinook salmon. One …

Variation in gene transcription is widely believed to be the mechanistic basis of
phenotypically plastic traits; however, comparatively little is known about the inheritance …

Gene expression regulation has an important role in short-term acclimation and long-term
adaptation to changing environments. However, the genetic architecture of gene expression …

Understanding the genetic architecture of phenotypic plasticity is required to assess how
populations might respond to heterogeneous or changing environments. Although several …

Adaptive responses to environmental heterogeneity may vary among populations. Genetic
variability in reaction norms might account for population differences in the ability to respond …

Landscape genomics is a rapidly growing field with recent advances in both genotyping
efficiency and statistical analyses that provide insight towards local adaptation of …

Many natural and managed organisms will require substantial functional genetic variation to
respond to selection in the face of rapid environmental change. Pacific salmon have …

An approach frequently used to demonstrate a genetic basis for population‐level phenotypic
differences is to employ common garden rearing designs, where observed differences are …

Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Columbia River basin (CRB) comprise
three lineages—lower Columbia River and sympatric interior ocean and stream types—each …
