Contrasting population genetic structures of congeneric coastal flounders associated with different early life histories

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine fish species are likely to exhibit little genetic differentiation among populations due to their high dispersal potential during early life stages and migratory nature. However, recent studies have increasingly reported intraspecific genetic differentiation resulting from species‐specific ecological traits, environmental factors, and ...

Assessing local adaptation and divergence at early life stages within Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many commercially exploited fish stocks have declined over the last few decades. It is therefore essential to identify natural populations and understand local adaptation for sustainable management. Salinity is a key environmental factor shaping local adaptation, and adaptive trait divergence often occurs at the egg and larval stages.

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

The Long Arc of Forest Land Dispossession and Degradation—Firm and State Actions on Sámi Lands in the Wood‐Based Commodity Frontier in Northern Sweden, 1673–1955

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents a new way of obtaining deep explanations of environmental problems. We expose the production strategies, corporate strategies and state actions that have been taken by firms and state agencies to facilitate the geographical expansion of the wood‐based commodity frontier at the expense of reindeer pastoralists among the ...

When Great Powers Struggle: How Geopolitical Alignments of Small States Are Influenced by Their MNEs

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Comparing two distinct deglobalization periods, this study shows how Finnish multinational enterprises (MNEs) used corporate diplomatic activities (CDA) to influence Finland's alignment with a struggling great power. Drawing from hegemonic stability theory and new institutional economics, we argue that the power's collapsing global networks ...

Back to the Baltic Sea region?

, 2009
In October 2009, the European Union (EU) adopted the Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, which is still a relatively new political phenomenon. Although EU and NATO membership did not become a cure-all for the new democracies in the region, the opportunities provided by regional structures to implement the interests of these states and establish ...

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.
