Microsatellites are the most popular and versatile genetic marker with myriads of
applications in population genetics, conservation biology, and evolutionary biology. These …

Assignment methods, which use genetic information to ascertain population membership of
individuals or groups of individuals, have been used in recent years to study a wide range of …

Accurate detection of offspring resulting from hybridization between individuals of distinct
populations has a range of applications in conservation and population genetics. We …

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

Biogeographical regions (geographically distinct assemblages of species and communities)
constitute a cornerstone for ecology, biogeography, evolution and conservation biology …

Many populations are composed of a mixture of individuals that reproduce at different times,
and these times are often heritable. Under these conditions, gene flow should be limited …

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 …

Microsatellite null alleles are found to a varying degree across all taxa. They are problematic
as they may inflate measures of genetic differentiation and create false homozygotes …

Molecular tools are a standard part of many conservation studies and can be informative at
many different levels of analysis, although there are inherent limitations and strengths of …

Indigenous salmonid fish gene pools are affected by domesticated conspecifics, derived
from aquaculture escapes and deliberate releases. Variability was examined at nine …
