Restoring gene flow into small, isolated populations can alleviate genetic load and decrease
extinction risk (ie, genetic rescue), yet gene flow is rarely augmented as a conservation …

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 …

Understanding the drivers of evolution is a fundamental aim in biology. However, identifying
the evolutionary impacts of human activities is challenging because of a lack of temporal …

Lifetime reproductive success (LRS), the number of offspring produced over an organism's
lifetime, is a fundamental component of Darwinian fitness. For taxa such as salmonids with …

Understanding the genetic basis of repeated evolution of the same phenotype across taxa is
a fundamental aim in evolutionary biology and has applications in conservation and …

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 …

Rare and geographically restricted species may be vulnerable to genetic effects from
inbreeding depression in small populations or from genetic swamping through hybridization …

Previous studies generally report that hatchery‐origin Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)
have lower relative reproductive success (RRS) than their natural‐origin counterparts. We …

Natal homing is a prevalent life-history strategy among salmonids. However, not all
individuals return to their natal river, a behaviour known as straying. In this study, we …

Natal homing, a strategy in which individuals return to breed in the same river as they were
born, is prevalent among salmonids. However, some individuals may not return to their natal …
