New statistical developments combined with the use of highly polymorphic microsatellite
DNA markers enable the determination of the population of origin of single fish, resulting in …

The use of molecular genetic markers (MGMs) has become widespread among evolutionary
biologists, and the methods of analysis of genetic data improve rapidly, yet an organized …

The conservation and management of endangered species requires information on their
genetic diversity, relatedness and population structure. The main genetic markers applied …

The translocation of animal species, that is the transfer of individuals from a source
population to a release area to restock, is a widespread practice in conservation biology and …

The effects of stocking hatchery trout into wild populations were studied in a Danish river,
using microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers. Baseline samples were taken …

Supportive breeding is a strategy consisting in maintaining a pool of locally-adapted wild
genitors in captivity whose offspring are released in the wild at an early developmental …

Populations of the marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) have declined critically due to
introgression by brown trout (Salmo trutta) strains. In order to define strategies for long‐term …

Salmonid fishes rank among species being most severely affected by introgressive
hybridization as a result of a long tradition of stocking with hatchery‐reared conspecifics …

Abstract Background The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is an economically and ecologically
important species for which population genetic monitoring is frequently performed. The most …

Environmental, climate and historical factors are important to explain patterns of freshwater
biodiversity and population dynamics in the Mediterranean area. This region is one of the …
