• 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 ...
    • Geographic hierarchical population genetic structuring in British European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) and its implications for conservation 

      Crotti, M; Adams, Colin Ean; Etheridge, Elizabeth C.; Bean, Colin W.; Gowans, Andrew R.D.; Knudsen, Rune; Lyle, Alex A.; Maitland, P. S.; Winfield, Ian J.; Elmer, K. R.; Præbel, Kim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-04)
      The European whitefish <i>Coregonus lavaretus</i> complex represents one of the most diverse radiations within salmonids, with extreme morphological and genetic differentiation across its range. Such variation has led to the assignment of many populations to separate species. In Great Britain, the seven native populations of <i>C. lavaretus</i> (two in Scotland, four in England, one in Wales) were ...
    • A way forward with eco evo devo: an extended theory of resource polymorphism with postglacial fishes as model systems

      A major goal of evolutionary science is to understand how biological diversity is generated and altered. Despite considerable advances, we still have limited insight into how phenotypic variation arises and is sorted by natural selection. Here we argue that an integrated view, which merges ecology, evolution and developmental biology (eco evo devo) on an equal footing, is needed to understand the ...
