      Star, Bastiaan; Boessenkool, Sanne; Gondek, Agata Teresa; Nikulina, Elena A.; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Pampoulie, Christophe; Knutsen, Halvor; André, Carl; Nistelberger, Heidi Maria; Dierking, Jan; Petereit, Christoph; Heinrich, Dirk; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Jentoft, Sissel; Barrett, James H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Knowledge of the range and chronology of historic trade and long-distance transport of natural resources is essential for determining the impacts of past human activities on marine environments. However, the specific ...
    • Disentangling structural genomic and behavioral barriers in a sea of connectivity 

      Barth, Julia Maria Isis; Villegas-Ríos, David; Freitas, Carla; Moland, Even; Star, Bastiaan; André, Carl; Knutsen, Halvor; Bradbury, Ian; Dierking, Jan; Petereit, Christoph; Righton, David; Metcalfe, Julian; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Olsen, Esben Moland; Jentoft, Sissel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Genetic divergence among populations arises through natural selection or drift and is counteracted by connectivity and gene flow. In sympatric populations, isolating mechanisms are thus needed to limit the homogenizing ...
    • Evidence of hybridization between genetically distinct Baltic cod stocks during peak population abundance(s) 

      Helmerson, Cecilia; Weist, Peggy; Brieuc, Marine Servane Ono; Maurstad, Marius Filomeno; Schade, Franziska Maria; Dierking, Jan; Petereit, Christoph; Knutsen, Halvor; Metcalfe, Julian; Righton, David; André, Carl; Krumme, Uwe; Jentoft, Sissel; Hanel, Reinhold (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Range expansions can lead to increased contact of divergent populations, thus increasing the potential of hybridization events. Whether viable hybrids are produced will most likely depend on the level of genomic divergence ...
