Consequences of farmed-wild hybridization across divergent wild populations and multiple traits in salmon
Fraser, Dylan J., Aimee Lee S. Houde, Paul V. Debes, Patrick O'Reilly, et al. 2010. "Consequences of farmed-wild hybridization across divergent wild populations and multiple traits in salmon." Ecological Applications 20(4): 935-953.Theory predicts that hybrid fitness should decrease as population divergence increases. This suggests that the effects of human-induced hybridization might be adequately predicted from the known divergence among parental ... -
Mixed evidence for reduced local adaptation in wild salmon resulting from interbreeding with escaped farmed salmon: complexities in hybrid fitness
Fraser, Dylan J., Adam M. Cook, James D. Eddington, Paul Bentzen, et al. 2008. "Mixed evidence for reduced local adaptation in wild salmon resulting from interbreeding with escaped farmed salmon: complexities in hybrid fitness." Evolutionary Applications 1(3): 501-512.Interbreeding between artificially-selected and wild organisms can have negative fitness consequences for the latter. In the Northwest Atlantic, farmed Atlantic salmon recurrently escape into the wild and enter rivers ...
