      <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 ...
    • 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 ...
