      Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Nedreaas, Kjell Harald; Huserbråten, Mats; Moland, Even (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In this contribution, we propose fishery driven predator release as the cause for the largest grazing event ever observed in the NE Atlantic. Based on the evolving appreciation of limits to population connectivity, published ...
    • 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 ...
