Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model
system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high diversity of life history strategies …

Sexual maturation timing is a life‐history trait central to the balance between mortality and
reproduction. Maturation may be triggered when an underlying compound trait, called …

Background Understanding genetic architecture is essential for determining how traits will
change in response to evolutionary processes such as selection, genetic drift and/or gene …

In Atlantic salmon, age at maturation is a life history trait governed by a sex‐specific trade‐off
between reproductive success and survival. Following environmental changes across large …

Chromosomal inversions have been implicated in facilitating adaptation in the face of high
levels of gene flow, but whether chromosomal fusions also have similar potential remains …

Elucidating the genetic basis of adaptation to the local environment can improve our
understanding of how the diversity of life has evolved. In this study, we used a dense SNP …

Abstract Background In Atlantic salmon in the wild, age at maturity is strongly influenced by
the vgll3 locus. Under farming conditions, light, temperature and feeding regimes are known …

Examination of the genetic basis of the timing of the return migration of Atlantic salmon
(Salmo salar) to fresh water from the sea, a trait of economic and conservation interest, was …

Despite recent taxonomic diversification in studies linking genotype with phenotype, follow-
up studies aimed at understanding the molecular processes of such genotype-phenotype …

Genomic structural variants (SVs) are now recognized as an integral component of
intraspecific polymorphism and are known to contribute to evolutionary processes in various …
