Genomic scans of multiple populations often reveal marker loci with greatly increased
differentiation between populations. Often this differentiation coincides in space with …

By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

An essential prerequisite of a sustainable fisheries management is the matching of
biologically relevant processes and management action. In fisheries management and …

The brackish Baltic Sea hosts species of various origins and environmental tolerances.
These immigrated to the sea 10,000 to 15,000 years ago or have been introduced to the …

Studies of adaptive evolution have experienced a recent revival in population genetics of
natural populations and there is currently much focus on identifying genomic signatures of …

High gene flow is considered the norm for most marine organisms and is expected to limit
their ability to adapt to local environments. Few studies have directly compared the patterns …

Biomass assesment of fish stocks is a difficult task that often involves costly fisheries trawl
surveys. Trawl surveys rarely return replicate samples, as trawling attempts are expensive …

Divergent selection may initiate ecological speciation extremely rapidly. How often and at
what pace ecological speciation proceeds to yield strong reproductive isolation is more …

Little is known about local adaptations in marine fishes since population genetic surveys in
these species have typically not applied genetic markers subject to selection. In this study …

Background Genetic structure in many widely-distributed broadcast spawning marine
invertebrates remains poorly understood, posing substantial challenges for their fishery …
