• Ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is associated with large shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds of loci 

      Han, Fan; Jamsandekar, Minal; Pettersson, Mats; Su, Leyi; Fuentes-Pardo, Angela P.; Davis, Brian W.; Bekkevold, Dorte; Berg, Florian; Casini, Michele; Dahle, Geir; Farrell, Edward D.; Folkvord, Arild; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due to minute genetic differentiation at ...
    • Epistatic regulation of growth in Atlantic salmon revealed: a QTL study performed on the domesticated-wild interface 

      Besnier, Francois; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Harvey, Alison C.; Carvalho, Gary R.; Bekkevold, Dorte; Taylor, Martin I.; Creer, Simon; Nielsen, Einar Eg; Skaala, Øystein; Ayllon, Fernando; Dahle, Geir; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Quantitative traits are typically considered to be under additive genetic control. Although there are indications that non-additive factors have the potential to contribute to trait variation, experimental demonstration ...
    • Genetic analysis redraws the management boundaries for the European sprat 

      Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Kvamme, Cecilie; Bekkevold, Dorte; Nash, Richard David Marriott; Jansson, Eeva; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Taggart, John B.; Skaala, Øystein; Dahle, Geir; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Sustainable fisheries management requires detailed knowledge of population genetic structure. The European sprat is an important commercial fish distributed from Morocco to the Arctic circle, Baltic, Mediterranean, and ...
    • Genetic response to human-induced habitat changes in the marine environment: A century of evolution of European sprat in Landvikvannet, Norway 

      Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Richter-Boix, Alex; Bekkevold, Dorte; Kvamme, Cecilie; Berg, Florian; Jansson, Eeva; Dahle, Geir; Besnier, Francois; Nash, Richard David Marriott; Glover, Kevin Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Habitat changes represent one of the five most pervasive threats to biodiversity. However, anthropogenic activities also have the capacity to create novel niche spaces to which species respond differently. In 1880, one ...
    • Global, regional, and cryptic population structure in a high gene-flow transatlantic fish 

      Jansson, Eeva; Faust, Ellika; Bekkevold, Dorte; Quintela, Maria; Durif, Caroline; Halvorsen, Kim Aleksander Tallaksen; Dahle, Geir; Pampoulie, Christophe; Kennedy, James; Whittaker, Benjamin; Unneland, Laila; Post, Søren; André, Carl; Glover, Kevin Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) is a transatlantic marine fish displaying large population sizes and a high potential for dispersal and gene-flow. These features are expected to result in weak population structure. Here, we ...
    • Mixed-stock analysis of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus): a tool for identifying management units and complex migration dynamics 

      Bekkevold, Dorte; Berg, Florian; Polte, Patrick; Bartolino, Valerio; Ojaveer, Henn; Mosegaard, Henrik; Farrell, Edward D.; Fedotova, Jelena; Hemmer-Hansen, Jakob; Huwer, Bastian; Trijoulet, Vanessa; Moesgaard Albertsen, Christoffer; Fuentes-Pardo, Angela P.; Gröhsler, Tomas; Pettersson, Mats; Jansen, Teunis; Folkvord, Arild; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
    • Recurrent convergent evolution at amino acid residue 261 in fish rhodopsin 

      Hill, Jason; Enbody, Erik D.; Pettersson, Mats E.; Sprehn, C. Grace; Bekkevold, Dorte; Folkvord, Arild; Laikre, Linda; Kleinau, Gunnar; Scheerer, Patrick; Andersson, Leif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The evolutionary process that occurs when a species colonizes a new environment provides an opportunity to explore the mechanisms underlying genetic adaptation, which is essential knowledge for understanding evolution and ...
