The identification of management units (MUs) is central to the management of natural
populations and is crucial for monitoring the effects of human activity upon species …

Seascape genetics, a term coined in 2006, is a fast growing area of population genetics that
draws on ecology, oceanography and geography to address challenges in basic …

High‐throughput DNA sequencing facilitates the analysis of large portions of the genome in
nonmodel organisms, ensuring high accuracy of population genetic parameters. However …

Abstract Comparison of population structure between studies can be difficult, because the
value of the often‐used FST‐statistic depends on the amount of genetic variation within …

Abstract Knowledge of statistical power is essential for sampling design and data evaluation
when testing for genetic differentiation. Yet, such information is typically missing in studies of …

Large numbers of hatchery salmon spawn in wild populations each year. Hatchery fish with
multiple generations of hatchery ancestry often have heritably lower reproductive success …

Computer simulations are excellent tools for understanding the evolutionary and genetic
consequences of complex processes whose interactions cannot be analytically predicted …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been proposed by some as the new frontier
for population studies, and several papers have presented theoretical and empirical …

Poleward species range shifts have been predicted to result from climate change, and many
observations have confirmed such movement. Poleward shifts may represent a …
