Population-specific gene expression responses to hybridization between farm and wild Atlantic salmon
(2009-11)
Because of intrinsic differences in their genetic architectures, wild populations invaded by
domesticated individuals could experience population-specific consequences following introgression
by genetic material of ...
Consequences of farmed-wild hybridization across divergent wild populations and multiple traits in salmon
(2010-06)
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 ...
Hybridization effects on phenotypic plasticity: experimental compensatory growth in farmed-wild Atlantic salmon
(2011-05)
Compensatory growth (CG) is a means by which organisms can increase their growth rate above
their routine growth rate after a period of environmentally induced growth depression. Despite a
focus on the implications of ...
Mixed evidence for reduced local adaptation in wild salmon resulting from interbreeding with escaped farmed salmon: complexities in hybrid fitness
(2008-08)
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 ...
Relative risks of inbreeding and outbreeding depression in the wild in endangered salmon
(2011-09)
Conservation biologists routinely face the dilemma of keeping small, fragmented populations
isolated, wherein inbreeding depression may ensue, or mixing such populations, which may exacerbate
population declines via ...
Concurrent habitat and life history influences on effective/census population size ratios in stream-dwelling trout
(2012-03)
Lower effective sizes (Ne) than census sizes (N) are routinely documented in natural
populations, but knowledge of how multiple factors interact to lower N-e/N ratios is often limited.
We show how combined habitat and ...
