      Chang, Sarah L.; Ward, Hillary G. M.; Elliott, Lucas Dane; Russello, Michael A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-02)
      Stocking programs have been widely implemented to re-establish extirpated fsh species to their historical ranges; when employed in species with complex life histories, such management activities should include careful consideration of resulting hybridization dynamics with resident stocks and corresponding outcomes on recovery initiatives. Genetic monitoring can be instrumental for quantifying ...
    • Sedimentary ancient DNA reveals local vegetation changes driven by glacial activity and climate. 

      Elliott, Lucas Dane; Rijal, Dilli Prasad; Brown, Antony; Bakke, Jostein; Topstad, Lasse; Heintzman, Peter D.; Alsos, Inger Greve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-07)
      Disentangling the effects of glaciers and climate on vegetation is complicated by the confounding role that climate plays in both systems. We reconstructed changes in vegetation occurring over the Holocene at Jøkelvatnet, a lake located directly downstream from the Langfjordjøkel glacier in northern Norway. We used a sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding dataset of 38 samples from a ...
