• DNA and scale reading to identify repeat spawning in Atlantic salmon: Unique insights into patterns of iteroparity 

      Kaland, Håvard; Harvey, Alison C.; Skaala, Øystein; Wennevik, Vidar; Besnier, Francois; Andersen-Fjeldheim, Per Tommy; Knutar, Sofie; Andersen-Fjeldheim, Kaja Christine; Glover, Kevin Alan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Iteroparity represents an important but often overlooked component of life history in anadromous Atlantic salmon. Here, we combined individual DNA profiling and scale reading to identify repeat spawners among ~8000 adult ...
    • Inferring Atlantic salmon post-smolt migration patterns using genetic assignment 

      Harvey, Alison C.; Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Glover, Kevin; Karlsen, Ørjan; Nilsen, Rune; Skaala, Øystein; Sægrov, Harald; Kolås, Steinar; Knutar, Sofie; Wennevik, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Understanding migratory patterns is important for predicting and mitigating unwanted consequences of environmental change or anthropogenic challenges on vulnerable species. Wild Atlantic salmon undergo challenging migrations ...
    • Introgression of domesticated salmon changes life history and phenology of a wild salmon population 

      Besnier, Francois; Ayllon, Fernando; Skaala, Øystein; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Fjeldheim, Per Tommy; Andersen, Kaja Christine; Knutar, Sofie; Glover, Kevin Alan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The release of domesticated conspecifics into the natural environment, whether deliberate or accidental, has the potential to alter the genetic integrity and evolutionary trajectory of wild populations. This widespread ...
    • Time series covering up to four decades reveals major changes and drivers of marine growth and proportion of repeat spawners in an Atlantic salmon population 

      Harvey, Alison C.; Skaala, Øystein; Borgstrøm, Reidar; Andersen-Fjeldheim, Per Tommy; Andersen-Fjeldheim, Kaja Christine; Utne, Kjell Rong; Johnsen, Ingrid Askeland; Fiske, Peder; Winterthun, Synnøve; Knutar, Sofie; Sægrov, Harald; Urdal, Kurt; Glover, Kevin Alan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Wild Atlantic salmon populations have declined in many regions and are affected by diverse natural and anthropogenic factors. To facilitate management guidelines, precise knowledge of mechanisms driving population changes ...
