      Pettersson, Mats E.; Rochus, Christina M.; Han, Fan; Chen, Junfeng; Hill, Jason; Wallerman, Ola; Fan, Guangyi; Hong, Xiaoning; Xu, Qiwu; Zhang, He; Liu, Shanshan; Liu, Xin; Haggerty, Leanne; Hunt, Toby; Martin, Fergal J.; Flicek, Paul; Bunikis, Ignas; Folkvord, Arild; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The Atlantic herring is a model species for exploring the genetic basis for ecological adaptation, due to its huge population size and extremely low genetic differentiation at selectively neutral loci. However, such studies ...

      Hill, Jason; Enbody, Erik D.; Pettersson, Mats E.; Sprehn, C. Grace; Bekkevold, Dorte; Folkvord, Arild; Laikre, Linda; Kleinau, Gunnar; Scheerer, Patrick; Andersson, Leif (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 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 ...
