Migratory behaviour patterns in animals are controlled by a complex genetic architecture.
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a salmonid fish that spawns in streams but exhibits …

Although migration plays a critical role in the evolution and diversification of species,
relatively little is known of the genetic architecture underlying this life history in any species …

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exhibit remarkable life history diversity throughout
their native range, and among the most evident is variation in migratory propensity. Although …

In studying the causative mechanisms behind migration and life history, the salmonids–
salmon, trout, and charr–are an exemplary taxonomic group, as life history development is …

Adaptation to novel habitats and phenotypic plasticity can be counteracting forces in
evolution, but both are key characteristics of the life history of steelhead/rainbow trout …

Rapid adaptation to novel environments may drive changes in genomic regions through
natural selection. Such changes may be population-specific or, alternatively, may involve …

The streams draining of into San Francisco Bay, California, have been impacted by habitat
alteration for over 150 years, and roads, dams, water diversions, and other impediments …

We examined ecological and genetic evidence to determine the potential for gene flow
between resident rainbow trout and anadromous steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss in the …

The timing and propensity for migration between fresh-and seawater is a key theme in the
diversity of life histories within the salmonid fishes. Across salmonid species, life-history …

Introgressive hybridization is an obstacle to the conservation of many species and
subspecies. Diagnostic genetic markers or markers with high allele frequency differentials …
