      Parallelism in trophic niches of polymorphic populations of Arctic charr was investigated in two similar subarctic lakes, Tårnvatn and Skøvatn, in northern Norway. Analysis of eleven microsatellite loci confirmed, respectively, the existence of three and two genetically differentiated morphs. Three methods were used to describe their trophic niches: habitat choice and stomach contents for the recent ...
    • Contrasting patterns in trophic niche evolution of polymorphic Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus L. populations in two subarctic lakes, northern Norway 

      Moccetti, Paolo Maria (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      The trophic niche (recent and time-integrated niche estimates) of polymorphic populations of Arctic charr was investigated in two lakes in Northern Norway. The lakes, Tårnvatn and Skøvatn, have three and two morphs, respectively. Since the two systems are very similar in environmental conditions and fish communities, comparable niches between similar trophic morphs across lakes were expected caused ...
