• Allelic losses and gains during translocations of a high conservation value fish, Coregonus lavaretus 

      Præbel, Kim; Bean, Colin; Dodd, Jennifer A.; Etheridge, Elizabeth C.; Gowans, Andrew R. D.; Knudsen, Rune; Lyle, Alexander A.; Maitland, Peter S.; Winfield, Ian J.; Adams, Colin E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-09)
      <ol type="1"> <li>The use of translocations to establish new or ‘refuge’ populations for species with high conservation value is controversial but widely used in conservation management. One of the risks of this approach is that an establishing population does not adequately capture the genetic diversity of the donor gene pool. This effect, rarely examined, is tested here.</li> <li>In this study ...
    • Complex and divergent histories gave rise to genome-wide divergence patterns amongst European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) 

      Crotti, Marco; Bean, Colin W.; Gowans, Andy R. D.; Winfield, Ian J.; Butowska, Magdalena; Wanzenböck, Josef; Bondarencko, Galina; Præbel, Kim; Adams, Colin E.; Elmer, Kathryn R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-15)
      Pleistocene glaciations dramatically affected species distribution in regions that were impacted by ice cover and subsequent postglacial range expansion impacted contemporary biodiversity in complex ways. The European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, is a widely distributed salmonid fish species on mainland Europe, but in Britain it has only seven native populations, all of which are found on the ...
    • Patterns and repeatability of multi-ecotype assemblages of sympatric salmonids 

      Blain, Stephanie A.; Schluter, Dolph; Adams, Colin E.; Amundsen, Per-Arne; Knudsen, Rune; Chavarie, Louise (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-04)
      Aim: High repeatability among assemblages of closely related but ecologically distinct ecotypes implies predictability in evolution and assembly of communities. The conditions under which ecotype assemblages form predictably, and the reasons, have been little investigated. Here, we test whether repeatability declines as the number of ecotypes builds.<p> <p>Location: Postglacial lakes with a ...
    • Temporal stability of polymorphic Arctic charr parasite communities reflects sustained divergent trophic niches 

      Rochat, Eloïse Coralie; Paterson, Rachel; Costa, Isabel Blasco; Power, Michael; Adams, Colin E.; Greer, Ron; Knudsen, Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-05)
      Polymorphic Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus populations frequently display distinct differences in habitat use, diet, and parasite communities. Changes to the relative species densities and composition of the wider fish community have the potential to alter the habitat niche of sympatric Arctic charr populations. This study evaluated the temporal stability of the parasite community, diet, and stable ...
