During speciation-with-gene-flow, effective migration varies across the genome as a function of several factors, including proximity of selected loci, recombination rate, strength of selection, and number of selected loci. Genome scans may provide better empirical understanding of the genome-wide patterns of genetic differentiation, especially if the variance due to the previously mentioned fac...

Genetic relationships among lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) spawning aggregates in Lake Michigan were assessed and used to predict a stock or management unit (MU) model for the resource. We hypothesized that distinct spawning aggregates represented potential MUs and that differences at molecular markers underlie population differentiation. Genetic stock identification using 11 microsate...

European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) is an aquaculture species with the potential for expanded cultivation in fresh and brackish waters of Northern Europe. Yet, relatively little species-specific information available regarding stress responses associated welfare implications this captivity. We addressed knowledge gap by using a combination implantable heart rate bio-loggers range tradition...
