Contrasting Life History Characteristics Between Riverine and Lacustrine Anadromous Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus) in the Western Canadian Arctic [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFreshwater habitat characteristics are known to affect life history traits of migratory salmonids. Although the life cycle of the anadromous form of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) is typically associated with lakes, there is a small number of ...

Adaptation in landlocked Atlantic salmon links genetics in wild and farmed salmon to smoltification [PDF]
BMC Genomic DataIncreased knowledge of heritable traits in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is important to overcome bottlenecks in salmonid aquaculture. Atlantic salmonid populations, both landlocked and anadromous, represent an interesting model to gain insight into ...

Leveraging the genetic diversity of trout in the rivers of the British Isles and northern France to understand the movements of sea trout (Salmo trutta L.) around the English Channel [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsPopulations of anadromous brown trout, also known as sea trout, have suffered recent marked declines in abundance due to multiple factors, including climate change and human activities.

Genetic divergence and one‐way gene flow influence contemporary evolution and ecology of a partially migratory fish [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsRecent work has revealed the importance of contemporary evolution in shaping ecological outcomes. In particular, rapid evolutionary divergence between populations has been shown to impact the ecology of populations, communities, and ecosystems.

Effects of plunge pool configuration on downstream passage survival of juvenile blueback herring
Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2021 Anadromous alosines are widespread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Juveniles of this clade are notoriously fragile animals that are at high risk of injury and death associated with passage at hydroelectric facilities.

A hierarchical model of daily stream temperature using air-water temperature synchronization, autocorrelation, and time lags [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Water temperature is a primary driver of stream ecosystems and commonly forms the basis of stream classifications. Robust models of stream temperature are critical as the climate changes, but estimating daily stream temperature poses several important ...

Seven dam challenges for migratory fish: insights from the Penobscot River
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 More than a century of impoundments in the Penobscot River, Maine, USA, has contributed to population declines in migratory fish in the system. A decade of change, research, and monitoring has revealed direct and indirect ways that dams have influenced ...

Colonization of a temperate river by mobile fish following habitat reconnection
Ecosphere, 2023 Mobile species are particularly affected by artificial barriers requiring large investments to restore connectivity. However, few large‐scale, long‐term studies have investigated the ecological outcomes of restoring connectivity for these species.
