Maintenance of phenotypic variation: repeatability, heritability and size-dependent processes in a wild brook trout population
Phenotypic variation in body size can result from within-cohort variation in birth dates, among-individual growth variation and size-selective processes. We explore the relative effects of these processes on the maintenance of wide observed body size variation in stream-dwelling brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). Based on the analyses of multiple recaptures of individual fish, it appears that...
متن کاملHeritability of Morphology in Brook Trout with Variable Life Histories
Distinct morphological variation is often associated with variation in life histories within and among populations of both plants and animals. In this study, we examined the heritability of morphology in three hatchery strains of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), which were historically or are currently used for stocking and supplementation of both migratory and resident ecotypes in the uppe...
متن کاملEffects of Stocking on Genetics of Wild Brook Trout Populations
The study was undertaken to evaluate the long-term genetic impact of maintenance stocking upon wild brook trout (Salvelinusfontinalis) populations in Wisconsin. Trout were collected from streams of the Wolf and Fox River drainages and from the Osceola State Trout Hatchery. The stocking histories of the streams ranged from unstocked to heavily stocked for many years. The planted fish consisted p...
متن کاملHeritability of life-history tactics and genetic correlation with body size in a natural population of brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis).
A common dimorphism in life-history tactic in salmonids is the presence of an anadromous pathway involving a migration to sea followed by a freshwater reproduction, along with an entirely freshwater resident tactic. Although common, the genetic and environmental influence on the adoption of a particular life-history tactic has rarely been studied under natural conditions. Here, we used sibship-...
متن کاملAn experimental analysis of the heritability of variation in glucocorticoid concentrations in a wild avian population.
Glucocorticoid hormones (CORT) are predicted to promote adaptation to variable environments, yet little is known about the potential for CORT secretion patterns to respond to selection in free-living populations. We assessed the heritable variation underlying differences in hormonal phenotypes using a cross-foster experimental design with nestling North American barn swallows (Hirundo rustica e...
