Phenotype-environment association of the oxygen transport system in trimorphic European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) populations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-23)
Sjørøye – økologisk og/eller genetisk segregering?
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)
Nedgang i fangstene av sjørøye har ført til behov for regulering av fisket, og i revideringen av elveforskriftene for fisket etter anadrom fisk de siste årene har det vært iverksatt innstramminger i fisket etter etter sjørøye. I slike sammenhenger er kunnskap om det genetiske forholdet mellom sjøvandrende og stasjonær røye innenfor et vassdrag en helt sentral og nødvendig kunnskapsbrikke for definering ...
Ecological speciation in postglacial European whitefish: rapid adaptive radiations into the littoral, pelagic, and profundal lake habitats
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Understanding how a monophyletic lineage of a species diverges into several adaptive forms has received increased attention in recent years, but the underlying mechanisms in this process are still under debate. Postglacial fishes are
excellent model organisms for exploring this process, especially the initial stages of ecological speciation, as postglacial lakes represent replicated discrete ...
Discrete foraging niches promote ecological, phenotypic, and genetic divergence in sympatric whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Natural populations often vary in their degree of ecological, morphological and genetic divergence. This variation can be arranged along an ecological speciation continuum of increasingly discrete variation, with high inter-individual variation at one end and well defined species in the other. In postglacial fishes, evolutionary divergence has commonly resulted in the co-occurrence of a pelagic and ...
Sympatric diversification as influenced by ecological opportunity and historical contingency in a young species lineage of whitefish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
In adaptive radiations, ecological opportunity (i.e. niche availability) is considered to be an important driver to increase phenotypic variation, but diversity may also be constrained by historical factors related to colonization events.
How do ecological opportunity and post-glacial colonization history affect the phenotypic diversity in a young species lineage?
We quantified phenotypic diversity ...
Settling-depth vs. genotype and size vs. genotype correlations at the Pan I locus in 0-group Atlantic cod Gadus morhua
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
We sampled 0-group juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. within fjords and offshore in northern Norway from 1994 to 2008 using different gears for the 3 sampling depths: shore seine (0−3 m), pelagic trawl (various depths), and bottom trawl (>80 m). Frequencies of alleles at the Pan I locus (4218 fish analysed) showed highly significant differences among samples collected in the different habitats. ...
Homing behaviour of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during final phase of marine migration and river entry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Little is known about Atlantic salmon behaviour during the last phase of the marine homing migration and subsequent river entry. In this study, 56 adult Atlantic salmon in the Alta Fjord in northern Norway were equipped with acoustic transmitters. Salmon generally followed the coastline, but their horizontal distribution was also affected by wind-induced spreading of river water across the fjord. ...
Invader population speeds up life history during colonization
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
We explore the long-term developments in population biology and life history during the invasion and establishment of the fish species vendace Coregonus albula in a subarctic watercourse by comparing life-history traits and molecular genetic estimates between the source and the colonist population. The two populations exhibited highly contrasting life-history strategies. Relative to the source ...
Anthropogenic hybridization between endangered migratory and commercially harvested stationary whitefish taxa (Coregonus spp.)

Allometric trajectories of body and head morphology in three sympatric Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) morphs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-08)
A study of body and head development in three sympatric reproductively isolated Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L.)) morphs from a subarctic lake (Skogsfjordvatn, northern Norway) revealed allometric trajectories that resulted in morphological differences. The three morphs were ecologically assigned to a littoral omnivore, a profundal benthivore and a profundal piscivore, and this was confirmed ...
