Comparing allele frequencies among populations that differ in environment has long been a
tool for detecting loci involved in local adaptation. However, such analyses are complicated …

The field of speciation has seen much renewed interest in the past few years, with
theoretical and empirical advances that have moved it from a descriptive field to a predictive …

Simple Summary In recent decades, societies, states and local authorities have become
increasingly aware that for effective long-term management and protection of aquatic …

The boom of massive parallel sequencing (MPS) technology and its applications in
conservation of natural and managed populations brings new opportunities and challenges …

Shallow population structure is generally reported for most marine fish and explained as a
consequence of high dispersal, connectivity and large population size. Targeted gene …

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

Little is known of the genetic basis of migration despite the ecological benefits migratory
species provide to their communities and their rapid global decline due to anthropogenic …

Dam construction and longitudinal river habitat fragmentation disrupt important life histories
and movement of aquatic species. This is especially true for Oncorhynchus mykiss that …

Next-generation sequencing and the application of population genomic and association
approaches have made it possible to detect selection and unravel the genetic basis to …

Selection signatures are genomic regions harboring DNA sequences functionally involved
in the genetic variation of traits subject to selection. Selection signatures have been …
